European Union Law provides an overview of both the institutions and main areas of substantive law in a concise volume. It gets to the heart of each area, covering the essential points of each topic. It is ideal as a first text for an EU course, for those courses taught over one semester, and for EU courses on the GDL. Its concise nature, focus on key areas, and pedagogical features, such as self-test questions and further reading, also make this a useful revision text.
