Università Roma Tre

“European Integration Law” is an advanced course of European Union Law. It focuses on some selected topics that should be already relatively familiar to students, with the purpose of providing additional awareness and an in-depth knowledge of the relevant case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the doctrinal debate. Those topics are as follows:
1. Constitutional principles of the European Union (primacy and effectiveness of EU law, autonomy of the EU legal order, mutual trust).
2. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and the European Convention of Human Rights (including the relevant case-law of the European Court of Human Rights)
3. EU citizenship law.

Course Learning Activities
1) Presentations prepared by students on pre-established topics. The relevant supporting material will be indicated in due time.
2) Discussion on topics presented by the Professor
3) Discussion of cases as applicants/defendants

No textbook reading is required. However, the support of a textbook in English is useful to prepare presentations and/or to gain or improve one’s knowledge of specific topic(s).
Students should read the judgments presented and discussed in class (slides made available online), as well as a limited number of essays provided by the Professor.
