Tribunal administratif de Strasbourg

What Tribunal administratif de Strasbourg does

The Tribunal administratif de Strasbourg is a French administrative court of first instance, created in 1919 and the oldest administrative tribunal in France. It operates under the authority of the Conseil d'État and adjudicates disputes between citizens and public administrations across the Bas-Rhin and Moselle departments, handling matters including urban planning, immigration, tax, environment, social benefits, and public freedoms. Court services are provided free of charge to citizens, with no filing fees; legal aid (aide juridictionnelle) is available to eligible parties. The tribunal is led by President Nathalie Tiger-Winterhalter, appointed in March 2025, and is staffed by approximately 98 personnel.

The tribunal's core operational products are a public-facing judicial decisions portal for publication and search of rulings, the Télérecours platform for mandatory electronic filing by lawyers and administrations, and a guided administrative procedures portal (Vos démarches) covering appeals, legal aid, certified non-appeal attestation requests, and mediation. Caseload surpassed 11,000 registered cases in 2025, a first-time threshold. The technology stack is primarily paper-based, supplemented by Télérecours (filing), Sagace (jurisprudence), and Ariane Web (portal), all hosted under the Conseil d'État's Direction des systèmes d'information. An FALC (Français Facile à Lire et à Comprendre) service extends accessibility to citizens with cognitive disabilities or literacy challenges.

The tribunal operates a non-commercial, public-budget business model: there is no revenue, no pricing, and no marketing function. Service delivery is geographically concentrated in Strasbourg with national digital reach via Télérecours; institutions are accessed through physical hearings, a public registry (greffe), and the Télérecours platform. Outreach is institutional — via the official website, RSS feed, and LinkedIn — rather than commercial. The tribunal pursues an active administrative mediation agenda, having signed multiple mediation conventions since 2018 with local bars, the Association des maires du Bas-Rhin, the Cour administrative d'appel de Nancy, the Ville de Colmar and Colmar agglomération, and the Académie de Strasbourg.
