Cases and materials on EU law, 8th ed.

Abstract:
Cases and Materials on EU Law is widely recognized as the most authoritative and successful book of its kind on the market. Written by one of the UK's leading European lawyers, it provides a complete and essential resource for all students of EU law.

A comprehensive selection of important cases and legislation is supported by the author's lively commentary and pertinent questions, which explain the materials and stimulate further discussion in an easy-to-read format. This popular text helps students to understand the development of the European Union and its policies, covering the major judgments delivered by the European Court over the past forty years, and considering the effects the latest proposals and regulations will have.

The book is fully supported by an online resource centre that provides resources for both lecturers and students including guidance in using the book when teaching, case updates, an interactive map of Europe, and an animated timeline. These resources will enable lecturers to reduce the amount of time they need to prepare their teaching, and will provide opportunities for students to study the subject in more depth.

Stephen Weatherill is Jacques Delors Professor of European Community Law at the University of Oxford.
