Influenced by human rights law, EU consumer law, and resulting from the extended EU competence in judicial cooperation since the Treaty of Amsterdam, national procedural systems have been increasingly Europeanised.The European Civil Procedure Handbook, published in 2026 by de Gruyter (<a href="https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110781632/html" title="https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110781632/html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110781632/html</a>), offers a comprehensive overview of the main developments shaping civil justice in Europe. It analyses the harmonization of cross-border litigation through EU regulations on jurisdictions, recognition and enforcement, service of documents, and taking of evidence, as well as the creation of European procedures such as the Order for Payment, Small Claims Procedure, and Account Preservation Order. The book also explores collective redress, ADR and ODR, specialized courts, legal aid, costs and funding, and soft-law harmonization. It concludes with perspectives on EU enlargement, non-European jurisdictions, and the broader challenges facing civil justice today.Following the publication of this book, the European Civil Justice Centre (<a href="https://www.eur.nl/en/esl/research/our-research/research-centres/european-civil-justice-centre" title="https://www.eur.nl/en/esl/research/our-research/research-centres/european-civil-justice-centre" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.eur.nl/en/esl/research/our-research/research-centres/european-civil-justice-centre</a>) is organizing a seminar on European Civil Procedure.
