Legal Reasoning of the Court of Justice of the EU

Publishers Abstract:
Reviews the book 'The Legal Reasoning of the Court of Justice of the EU', 2012, by Gunnar Beck. Outlines the main conclusions emerging from previous debates on the court's judicial methods and discusses the book's key arguments, including those relating to the use of systemic, linguistic and teleological arguments. Discusses the extent to which the court's reasoning demonstrates a pro-Union interpretative tendency, and the limits to such an approach.
