The Federal Court of Justice consists of 13 panels responsible for civil matters "(Zivilsenate)" and six panels responsible for criminal matters "(Strafsenate)". In addition, there are eight so-called special panels "(Spezialsenate)", which have specific responsibilities and are made up of judges from the civil and criminal panels; some of those panels also include appointed volunteers. The lion's share of the work is, however, done within the civil and criminal panels: Of the approximately 9,200 new matters brought before the Court in 2019, about 9,000 fell within the scope of responsibility of a criminal or civil panel. To resolve disagreements among the various civil and criminal panels, the Federal Court of Justice also has two Grand Panels "(Große Senate)".
