The course provides an introduction into the history of the European Union and into European Union law and then deals with EU internal market law, in particular with free movement of goods as an example. The course will show the developments of the concepts and ideas in this field. The participants will study how to approach a concrete case, work out the exact question of the case and formulate the case solution. A very strong role in the development of the freedoms has played and plays the ECJ. The course will give an overview over the legal actions at the European Court of Justice.
