European Union Studies

Catalog description

A study of the legal institutions that constitute the European Union and the legal processes of those institutions in the context of international law and in comparison to the United States. The course examines the body of law, both static and dynamic, on which these institutions rest and that have been produced by the institutions themselves. This law includes the several treaties that provide the legal basis of the EU; the body of statutory law enacted by the Parliament, the council, and the commission; the judicial decisions adjudicated by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance; and finally, the administrative rulings issued by the European Ombudsman.
