Course description
In European law, the judiciary plays a
more important role in the development of law than in most national legal
systems. Many central legal norms and legal institutions are not based on
specific articles in the founding treaties but have been elaborated by the
European Court of Justice during decades of legal practice. This is true in
particular for the important general principles of Community law. Nevertheless,
European Law is not a case-law system as for instance the British common Law. It
is rooted in the continental legal tradition. For a European jurist of the 21st
century it is essential to know the European jurisprudence and to know how to
work with it. He must understand the broader functional and dogmatic context. He
must be able to assess the significance and the practical relevance of the
decisions, to question the applied methods and to critically evaluate the
contents.
This course will present the fundamental
decisions of the European Court of Justice. Furthermore, it will discuss
important decisions of the constitutional courts and the supreme courts of the
member states which concern the participation of the state in the process of
supranational integration. The knowledge about the different approaches and
perspectives in European and constitutional jurisprudence will provide the
participants with a deeper understanding of the interaction between European and
national law. The course is not confined to the contents of the decisions but
also aims at an analysis of the argumentation patterns, the applied
methods and the understanding of the courts of their perspective roles.
Apart from providing a broad knowledge, the course trains participants to become
conscious of the strong and weak points and the limits of legal argumentation.
In accordance with this course concept, frequent discussions build an integral
part of the course. Finally, the course will discuss if and in what respect the
Treaty of Lisbon gives rise to changes of the European Court's practice.
The course is organised together with the
DAAD lecturer at the University of Tartu,
Dr. Christoph Schewe, as a joint course
for students of the University of Latvia and the University of Tartu. The
joint project shall underline the strong link between the subject and the common
future of Latvia, Estonia and Germany in a united Europe. It also aims to
promote contacts between young Latvian and Estonian jurists and to
contribute to the building of networks in the Baltics.
The course follows the concept of block
lectures, which has proved successful at many European universities: After a
few separate introductory lectures, the main part of the course will take place
during two joint two-day meetings, one on March 12/13 in
Tartu, the other on May, 14/15 in Rīga. To receive the credit points, participants have
to take part at both two-day meetings. The concentration on a coherent
subject for several days, far away from daily work routine, will allow a more
intense and fruitful work. In the evenings, the participants will have the
opportunity for comparative studies in student and cultural life (are there
better bars, clubs and parties in Tartu than in Rīga?).
The course addresses to students of all study programs
that are interested in European law. The two-day meetings are also open for
interested lecturers and legal practitioners, who are invited to join our
discussions.
Conditions:
The course is open for students of all faculties and also for
students of the Riga Graduate School of Law. In order to
get 2 credit points (B), participants are required to give a short own
presentation (concerning an important decision) or to pass a final examination.
Students at the Riga Graduate School of Law may achieve 2.5 credit points by
doing both. Students who do not need to get credit points are
also invited to participate on an informal basis.

Preliminary remark: Since the Treaty of Lisbon has entered into force in
December 2009, most textbooks, commentaries, handbooks and other publications on
European Union law are not up to date anymore. There have been extensive and
far-reaching changes, in particular concerning the institutions of the Union and
the protection of fundamental rights. Therefore, it is recommended to use
primarily new books or new editions, which have been published in 2010.
