The organisation of the courts in Austria is marked by a division between orderly courts and tribunals (for criminal law and civil law) and public courts of law (for constitutional law, general administration and asylum law). In contrast to other states, court staff in all Austrian courts are "Bund".

“All the terrors of the French Republic, which held Austria in awe, were unable to command her diplomacy. But Napoleon sent to Vienna M. de Narbonne, one of the old noblesse, with the morals, manners, and name of that interest, saying, that it was indispensable to send to the old aristocracy of Europe men of the same connection, which, in fact, constitutes a sort of free- masonry. M. de Narbonne, in less than a fortnight, penetrated all the secrets of the imperial cabinet.”
