Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

EU law is largely judge-made law. Successfully solving EU law problems – whether on the exam or in real life – therefore requires an insight in the way the ECJ reasons. In this course we will uncover that reasoning method, while rehearsing some of the key issues of EU constitutional law.
Each class focuses on one particular core concept of EU constitutional law (primacy, division of competence, judicial protection…). First the key problem will be introduced be looking at the reasoning behind one of the classic judgments wherein the problem first arose, revealing how the ECJ got to its classic solution. Next we will revisit the issue in a far more recent case, thus unveiling how the ECJ adapts its reasoning to the current age. Finally, through hypotheticals and questions – often inspired by recent or even pending cases before the Court – students are tasked to try to get to a solution themselves taking into account the reasoning style and arguments behind the ECJ case law.
