LAW3157B: European Union Law
This module descriptor refers to the 2019/0 academic year.
Module Aims
EU law remains important to English lawyers. First, until Brexit, we remain part of the EU and subject to its regimes. Second, the EU has been a source or inspiration for a considerable amount of law applied in England over the past five decades. Third, even after Brexit, the EU will remain our neighbour and significant partner for the foreseeable future. So the purpose of this module is to provide you with a foundational understanding of EU law, which will help elucidate aspects of English law, and which will provide you with the knowledge and perspective needed for an outward-looking and globalised practice.
