| Course description |
The principal aims and objectives of the course are to consider and analyse the forms of action related to the Court of Justice of the European Union. This involves consideration of the structure of and procedure before the Court, leading to in-depth analysis of forms of action before the Court. The jurisdiction of the Court will be assessed against particular thematic backdrops, including the notion of effective judicial protection and the legitimate functions of courts in polity-building and polity-management. The complex relationship between the Court of Justice and national courts will also be explored. |
