The course of institutional law of the EU is a course in English, aiming at presenting the main institutions of the European Union and the way they interact to make European law and implement it. The role of Member States is also addressed, as well as the role played by the European court of justice and domestic judges. It is somehow an equivalent of “constitutional law” but at the European level.

- Understand and explain the functioning of the institutions

It is mainly a lecture by the professor, on the basis of a structure that is given in advance to the students. Or course, students are always free and welcomed to ask questions or to answer the questions raised by the professor.
