This two-volume work on EU law discusses the most iconic judgments by the European Court of Justice.

It shows how the European Court of Justice has played a fundamental role in the construction of the European Union in the past 70 years. Many EU 'landmark' cases have been controversial, yet no-one can deny that they have been essential in 'constituting' the Union legal order as we find it today.

From Van Gend en Loos and Costa v ENEL to Cassis de Dijon and Kadi, Landmark Cases in EU Law explores the most important and well-known EU law cases in two volumes.

Volume 1 explores the 'constitutional' cases that have come to define the legal nature and competences of the Union. Each case is placed in its historical and doctrinal context, and each chapter presents the history of its reception by the Court and academia.
