European Union Law Short Course

1 credits · Law School

The European Union is the most ambitious legal, economic, and political integration among nations in the post-World War II era. This short course provides a general introduction to the legal system and scope of economic regulation of the European Union. After an introduction to the EU’s institutions, lawmaking processes, and integrated system of legal remedies, the short course will examine the substantive pillars of market integration, from protections on the free movement of goods, services, and capital to the Union’s current broad competences to regulate markets. The coverage will introduce students to the aspects of EU lawmaking that have greatest impact on US business and government interests. Pass/Fail. [1]
