The Mimetic Evolution of the Court of Justice of the EU

This book provides fresh perspectives in the legal study of the Court of Justice of the European Union. In the context of European studies, the Court has mainly been analysed in light of its central role in the process of continental integration. Moreover, the Court has traditionally been studied by specialists for its important role as an agent of comparative law. This book studies the evolution of the Court itself, rather than that of the EU legal order in its judge-made dimension, and addresses several institutional aspects of its structure and organization, selected and constructed as a complete range of symptomatic figures of judicial institutionalisation. In doing so, the author seeks to showcase how the development and the institutional evolution of the CJEU happened through a selective internalization of comparative influences.

Explores the evolution of the Court of Justice, paying attention to its organisation and structure Conceives the EU legal system in a dynamic perspective and its evolution as a mimetic process Demonstrates how ?institutional development of the CJEU has been culturally influenced in order to be functionally efficient
