| The European Union (EU) now encompasses 27 European nations and will soon add several other members. Its population is considerably greater than that of the US. Legal and commercial interaction between Europe and US is quickly creating a transatlantic legal and business culture. Therefore, knowledge of the EU has become essential to US lawyers in a wide range of domestic as well as international practices. This course is a survey of the EU’s governmental structure and basic legal principles. It is roughly divided into two parts. The first half of the semester covers the legal regime which guarantees the “Four Freedoms” upon which EU substantive law is founded: free movement of goods, workers, capital and services. The second half addresses the EU institutions, especially its judiciary. The grade will be based on a final examination and class participation. | ||
