The Østre Landsret sits in Copenhagen but has chambers in some western towns and cities, such as Odense, used only for criminal cases.

It has jurisdiction over all County Courts in Zealand, Funen, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm as well as the Faroe Islands.

First instance civil cases may only be brought before the High Court if the disputed claim exceeds DKK 1.000.000.

Like the Vestre Landsret, it is split into chambers, each consisting of three High Court judges.
