Cases and Materials on EU Law is widely recognized as the most authoritative and successful book of its kind on the market. Written by one of the UK's leading European lawyers, it provides a complete and essential resource for all students of EU law.

A comprehensive selection of important cases and legislation is supported by Weatherill's lively commentary and pertinent questions, which explain the materials and stimulate further discussion in an easy-to-read format. This popular text helps students to understand the development of the European Union and its policies, covering the major judgments delivered by the European Court over the past forty years, and considering the effects the latest proposals and regulations will have.

• As the only text on the market to focus exclusively on presenting cases and materials, this unique selection of extracts supports and illustrates the points of law covered in typical European Union law courses
• Contains new case law, legislative and constitutional developments, as well as current themes and issues, thereby providing a good introduction to the subject for all students
• The two-colour page design clearly distinguishes the extracts from the author commentary, making the book easy to use
• Includes questions throughout to stimulate thought and to encourage students to engage with the material
• Introduces the contentious issues surrounding the new constitution to help the reader to stay fully informed of the latest developments
• Fully supported by an online resource centre that provides resources for both lecturers and students including guidance in using the book when teaching, case updates, an interactive map of Europe, and an animated timeline: these resources will enable lecturers to reduce the amount of time they need to prepare their teaching, and will provide opportunities for students to study the subject in more depth
