Course Description



The aim of this module is to give students a sound understanding of the institutional and constitutional structure of the European Union (EU). EU law is placed in its historical context by considering the constitutional development of the EU, including an examination of the impact of the Treaty of Lisbon. The institutional structure and operation of the Court of Justice of the European Union are analysed, as are the various categories of litigation which the Court considers. The law relating to the institutions is thoroughly explored along with an analysis of the legislative processes of the EU law-making institutions. The sources of EU law are examined, including the Treaties, secondary legislation, and general principles, with a focus on fundamental rights. The doctrines of EU law, such as the primacy of EU law, supremacy, direct effect, the interpretive obligation, and state liability are considered. The impact of concept of Union citizenship is also evaluated.
