Edward and Lane on European Union Law by David Edward
Key features of the book include: Authoritative authorship combining the analysis of a senior academic with the experience of a former judge. Comprehensive and wide-ranging in scope. Structured specifically to reflect the Treaty of Lisbon reorientation and immediate post-Lisbon developments. Extensive reference to primary sources (Treaties, legislation, case law) and to issues of national adaptation. A fully updated and expanded new edition of a classic text, this authoritative and wide-ranging volume provides expert analysis on the key issues across all areas of European Union law - including its constitutional, procedural and substantive aspects. In particular, coverage of the constitutional and procedural elements includes: historical background and development of the European Union; constitutional structure of the Union; the Treaties: interrelationship and fundamental (constitutional) rules; the institutional framework; jurisdiction of, and actions before, the Court of Justice; sources, principles and methods of Union law. Comprehensive coverage of the substantive law includes: basic rules; citizenship of the Union; the internal market; the four freedoms; competition; economic and monetary policy; social policy; environmental policy; commercial policy. Precise and rich in references to the primary materials of the Treaties, the principal legislation and the key case law of the Court of Justice, this highly detailed and comprehensive book will be an indispensable resource for all legal practitioners whose practice must take account of EU Law.
‘Faced with the challenge of studying EU law, students and other interested parties need guidance and accessible materialsDespite the ground clearing of the Lisbon Treaty, the terrain is still not properly mapped. Edward and Lane’s completely rewritten book provides just what’s needed. Clear, comprehensible and comprehensive, it will be an important port of call for anyone trying to figure out key aspects of the EU’s ever burgeoning legal order.’ -- Jo Shaw, University of Edinburgh, UK
‘This is an outstandingly good book. . . It is outstanding for several reasons. It is concise, clear, authoritative and extremely thorough. As well as stating the legal rules, it is practical, because it summarises how they have been implemented. There are many short, frank, objective comments. Speculation is avoided, but unresolved questions are pointed out. . . . There are many illuminating explanations. . . In short, it provides an excellent understanding of how EU law works as an organic, coherent whole. By integrating discussion of EU and national institutional issues, it is a good example of the kind of analysis that will be more and more essential in all textbooks as the EU and national legal systems become increasingly intertwined. . . . The authors have succeeded in saying new and important things, concisely and clearly, about a legal system of which one might think there was little new to say. This is an important book, as well as a useful, interesting and well-written one.’ -- John Temple-Lang, Dublin University Law Journal
‘. . . practitioners tackling any aspect of European law will welcome the arrival of this comprehensive handbook on this vast and complex subject. . . this is a completely updated and augmented new edition of a classic text and as such, is certainly a must-have handbook for all practitioners involved in any way in European Union law.’ -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine
‘It is a real pleasure to see the publication of the third and much enlarged edition of Edward and Lane on European Union Law. It clearly and succinctly explains the essential features of the institutional and substantive law of the EU and can be strongly recommended to students and practitioners alike.’ -- Aidan Robertson QC, Brick Court Chambers, UK
