W74 LAW 805BIntroduction to European Union Law3.0 Units
Description:This course offers an introduction to the law of European Union, in particular to the EU constitutional and institutional structure. This is an introductory course and is not addressed to those who already familiar with the concept of European integration. Although it will focus on general legal arrangements of the EU, the dynamism of the present crisis (as manifested by the U.K. decision to leave the Union) may require some last-minute updates. We all know that the EU is experiencing a difficult time now. But, we know less about what the EU is, how it works, and what its goals are. The aim of the course is to fill this gap, at least in part. The course is composed of four segments. It examines, first, historical and conceptual foundations of the European integration and, in particular, its gradual transformation from an economic integrational project into a pan-European structure of constitutional (quasi-federative) nature. The second part examines the legal foundations of the EU: the sources and structure of EU law, the structure of its governing bodies, the basic elements of its legal doctrine (direct effect, supremacy and fundamental rights) as elaborated by the EU Court of Justice. The third part deals with relations between the EU and its Member-States, in particular - with judicial reactions to the clash between national sovereignty and the extension of EU aims and policies. The last part will address two recent challenges for the EU system: the controversies resulting upon the ongoing debt crisis, and the question-marks surrounding the implementation of the Brexit decision. Prerequisites: none. Method of evaluation: class participation - 20%; take-home exam - 80% Credits: 3.0

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
