Overall Educational Objective | Introduction of the key concepts that are distinctive to the E.U. law through a contemporary approach. | |||||
Course Description | There are many aspects of the E.U. law that are distinctive, but the nature of an introductory course compels the instructor to be selective. This course will touch the major elements of the E.U. law in a general way and deal with selected bedrock cases, through the analysis of the contemporary developments. As a first- year law course, rather than placing a special emphasis on some core concepts, the course offers a selective field survey of the E.U. law. | |||||
