European Union Law

Catalog description

This seminar will provide a survey of the key Treaty provisions and legislation of the European Union (EU) and the key institutions of the EU that enforce these provisions. The course will focus on the so-called four freedoms of EU law - the free movement of goods, services, people, and investments. The course will also discuss the progress of the EU towards its long term goal of the completion of a single European market and discuss selected areas of the substantive law of the EU including competition law (antitrust). Students will prepare a paper on a mutually agreeable topic and submit an outline, first draft, and final version as well as present their topic in class toward the end of the seminar.
