The judicial systems of the European Union and Australia share several characteristics that, when combined, are unique in legal and judicial systems across the world: first, that federal/supranational jurisdiction is vested in, and enforceable by, State/national courts and, secondly, a court that sits at the apex of a largely integrated judicial system. The judiciaries in both systems have also played crucial roles in defining and shaping their respective polities, establishing the constitutional contours within which the other political branches must operate.
