EU Law


EU LawEuropean Union law has a distinguished history at the LSE. The first major English language textbook on European Union law was published by an LSE academic. Since then, some of the leading monographs and textbooks on the subject have been written by existing and previous faculty. Members of the Department have gone on to be members of the Court and similarly the Court is represented in the Department. The Department also enjoys an unrivalled editorial experience in EU law. Members of the Department edit the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies, the European Law Journal, the European Law Review, the European Journal of Migration and Law, the Yearbook of European Environmental Law, and Jurist Europe. The Department also boasts some of the leading names in European Union Law as Visiting Faculty.
