The site is divided into four main sections entitled Work of the Court, About the Court, Visiting the Court and Documents. As well as databases of its judgments and biographical information about the judges, the site contains information and materials concerning visits to the CFA and about the CFA building. In addition, speeches of, and articles written by, members of the court, as well as press releases specifically concerning the CFA, will be published on the site.
