Central European University, Legal Studies Department - Diploma in Advanced European Union Legal Practice, July 4 - 22, 2005, Hungary
Application deadline: April 4, 2005
The Legal Studies Department of Central European University (CEU) is pleased to announce its new Diploma in Advanced European Union Legal Practice, organized by the Total Law Teaching Team, between July 4 and 22, 2005.
The program is about the Practice of European Union Law, providing insider hands-on analysis of the functioning of the European Union. As such, it constitutes an excellent course for those wishing to deepen their knowledge in the field or to prepare for working in or with EU institutions. The Total Law method believes in contextualization, situating a legal controversy, a court decision, a Treaty provision, a Directive or Regulation in its economic, social and political context.
The Total Law teaching team, led by Joseph Weiler, University Professor and Jean Monnet Chair at New York University School of Law, is a unique blend of well-known academics and senior officials working in the European Union institutions who have also written widely in the field. The members of his team are José M. de Areilza, Professor of European Union Law and Vice Dean of Legal Studies at Instituto de Empresa, Madrid; Kieran Bradley, member of the Legal Service of the European Parliament, Brussels; Damian Chalmers, Reader in EU law at the London School of Economics and Political Science; Miguel Poiares Maduro, Advocate General at the European Court of Justice, Luxembourg and Professor of European and International Law at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and Imola Streho, coordinator of the Team, referendaire at the European Court of Justice, Luxembourg.
The coursework will consist of seminars, workshops and daily assignments that will be completed individually or in-group. A basic knowledge of European Union Law is required to follow this advanced course. Those without this knowledge but wishing to participate are required to take a one-week Introductory Course to the Law of the European Union, offered immediately prior to the start of the program.
