English translation by Lesley Orme
An essential guide for lawmakers, scholars, and students
of law, this work takes on the formidable task of providing
a detailed overview of the harmonization of law in the
European Union. Skillfully researched, the authors seek
to approach this topic with an eye to the recent enlargement
process.
In highlighting the most recent actions of the European
Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance, the
book seeks to analyze the future strengths and pitfalls
of EU Common Law. Court rulings are quoted at length,
and work in conjunction with text inserts in providing
a format that breaks down complex information. This
open style of the book gives researchers the ability
to quickly locate useful information and cite statements
from EU institutions.
In outlining the sources and institutions of Community
Law, and the challenges in harmonizing national and
supra-national law-books, A Common Law for Europe has
done a tremendous service for academics and future leaders
of the European Union.
