LAW 539 Law and Policy of the European Union Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Litigation ] Business Law: Antitrust & Trade Regulation Why it is relevant for ... [ Litigation ] as a Related Elective for those interested in International Trade : Students interested in an antitrust/trade regulation practice focusing on international trade should consider this course. The second most influential system of competition regulation after the U.S. system is the European Community's competition law. General course Description: This course examines the law and policy of the European Union (EU), as the EU has evolved from the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) by 6 western European countries in 1951, to the crafting of a Constitution for a European Union of 27 Member States, and growing. It begins by considering fundamental questions about the process of European legal and institutional integration, the nature and sources of EU law, the evolution of the European Single Market and the building of a European supranational judicial system. The class explores the general principles of EU law, the scope of Community powers and their application in the national legal systems of the Member States, EU legislation and adjudication, the "four freedoms" of the Single Market (goods, services, capital and movement of persons), EU corporate and competition policy, and EU human rights law. It then goes on to discuss a series of transatlantic questions that are of particular interest to American and international lawyers today -- including US-EU trade and antitrust issues (including the GMO and Microsoft sagas), US-EU cooperation in defense, development assistantce, and the promotion of democracy, and EU-US relations in the context of the new challenges to corporate governance. Throughout, the course examines policy, as well as legal considerations, and comes in close contact with EU treaties, legislation, and case law. This course provides an introduction to EU law and a specialization in one of the most dynamic areas of contemporary international law. Course Style: A Substantive/ Perspective course looks at law from an external or non-traditional standpoint. Course Frequency: Varied, check w/ registrar |
