LAW 816: European Union Law
This course provides a survey of European Union constitutional underpinnings, structure, institutions, procedure, and important case law. The Treaty of Rome and amendments such as the Maastricht Treaty will be analyzed and lead to examination of the role of EU institutions (European Council, Commission, Parliament and Court of Justice). Important Court of Justice Judgments will be used to illustrate EU principles such as supremacy and free movement. Other issues involving harmonization of law, subsidiarity, competition policy and merger regulation, monetary policy, human rights, workers' rights, consumer protection, environmental policy, and external relations will be discussed.
