European Community law 700
Not offered in 1995
One 2-hour seminar weekly over 13 weeks
Despite its ups and downs the European Community remains perhaps the most significant legal and economic development since the Second World War. Its impact upon trade throughout the world, including Australia, has been substantial. In addition to the creation of a customs union, the Treaty of Rome attempts some legal unification of its West European members and the creation of a `new legal order' with its own legislature, executive and judiciary. The new legal order has not been restricted to economic integration. Issues of human rights, sex discrimination, freedom of movement and administrative law have created substantial areas of new jurisprudence of interest and importance.
