European Union Law: Cases and Materials

by Damian Chalmers, Gareth Davies, Giorgio Monti

This eagerly awaited new edition has been significantly revised after extensive user feedback to meet current teaching requirements. The first major textbook to be published since the rejuvenation of the Lisbon Treaty, it retains the best elements of the first edition – the engaging, easily understandable writing style, extracts from a variety of sources showing the creation, interpretation and application of the law and comprehensive coverage. In addition it has separate chapters on EU law in national courts, governance and external relations reflecting the new directions in which the field is moving. The examination of the free movement of goods and competition law has been restructured. Chapter introductions clearly set out what will be covered in each section allowing students to approach complex material with confidence and detailed further reading sections encourage further study. Put simply, it is required reading for all serious students of EU law.

This is the main text used for the European Union Law module in an undergraduate Law degree. It contains everything you need to know about the subject for any upcoming exams but it is a rather boring aspect of the Law to a lot of students and the book doesn't help in making it any easier - it is arranged in large blocks of text with relatively few breaks and is quite drawn out. Reader friendly it is not!

This used to be required reading for an English Law degree, I presume that it has now changed due to the U.K. leaving the E.U. - it's either changed to where it is no longer a module that is essential for completion of your degree or it is about to change soon. Either way, this won't be a relevant topic to those wanting to study English Law in the future.
