Overview

The European Union is the largest supranational regional organisation in the world, and the largest economy. It has its own highly developed legal system, and places central importance on the rule of law and legal certainty within the Union. This course, European Union Law, aims to give graduate students advanced knowledge of European Union law, its institutional structure and its substantive application in commercial fields. Students will develop advanced writing and communication skills in the detailed articulation of this law in research assignments. The course is available in the Master of Laws, Juris Doctor and Bachelor of Laws Honours.

The course deals with the European Union Law as it applies to the development of international organisations, free trade agreements, and the protection of individual rights. It is delivered intensively in four seminars over two weeks (two seminars in each of two weeks), and will involve closely supervised research assignments.
