PERSPECTIVES ON EUROPEAN LAW

Students will examine legal, economic, and political integration within the European Union (EU) and related organizations. Topics will include the EU's historical development and expansion, current status, and future plans; the EU's foundational treaties, legal institutions, and decision-making processes; basic procedures and jurisprudence of the Court of Justice; and EU legislation in corporate law and financial regulation, particularly as related to difficulties of harmonizing the substantive laws of EU Member States.
