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 are on the editorial boards of the European Constitutional Law Review,  European Law Journal, the European Law Review, the German Law Journal and the Yearbook of European Environmental Law. LSE is only the university to have won the UACES prize, the leading prize for doctoral research on the EU, for research on EU law. It has won it twice. In recent times people doing doctoral research on EU law at LSE have gone on to posts at Birkbeck, Exeter, Leeds, LSE and UCL, In addition, LSE now attracts many postdoctoral fellows. In recent years, it has hosted British Academy, Marie Curie, and Newton Fellows working on EU law.

The Law Department also has two long standing research seminar series which focus on EU and European law. These have had a number of distinguished speakers. The GOLEM series has included seminars with Professors Anu Bradfurd (Columbia); Deirdre Curtin (Amsterdam); Mark Dawson (Hertie); Michelle Everson (Birkbeck); Christian Joerges (Bremen); Dan Keleman (Rutgers) Antoine Vauchez (Sorbonne); and Neil Walker (Edinburgh). The European Public Law  series has included seminars with Mattias Kumm (NYU), Hans Lindahl (Tilburg), Neil Walker (Edinburgh), Denis Baranger (Paris II), Tom Hickman (Blackstones) and Agustín Menéndez (Arena/León).
