Total Law Advanced Course in European Union Legal Practice: CEU Certificate (Option 2)

The program is about the Practice of European Union Law, providing insider hands-on analysis of the functioning of the European Union. As such, it constitutes an excellent course for those wishing to deepen their knowledge in the field or to prepare for working in or with EU institutions. The Total Method believes in contextualization, situating a legal controversy, a court decision, a Treaty provision, a Directive, or a Regulation in its economic, social, and political context. 
 
The Total Law™ team, led by Joseph Weiler, University Professor and Jean Monnet Chair at New York University School of Law, is a unique blend of well-known academics and senior officials working in the European Union institutions who have also written widely in the field. The members of this team are José M. de Areilza, Professor of European Union Law and Vice Dean of Legal Studies at Instituto de Empresa, Madrid; Kieran Bradley, Head of Unit in the Legal Service of the European Parliament, Brussels; Damian Chalmers, Reader in EU law at the London School of Economics and Political Science; Miguel Poiares Maduro, Advocate General at the European Court of Justice, Luxembourg and Professor of European and International Law at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and Imola Streho, coordinator of the Team, référendaire at the European Court of Justice, Luxembourg. Petra Bard, S.J.D. candidate at the Central European University, Budapest.
 
The coursework will consist of seminars, workshops, and daily assignments that will be completed individually or in groups. A basic knowledge of European Union Law is required to follow this advanced course. Those without this knowledge but wishing to participate are required to take a one-week Introductory Course to European Union Law, offered immediately before the start of the program and taught by faculty from the CEU Department of Legal Studies.
 
Up to four special scholarships may be awarded to participants of exceptional quality, and financial support in the form of partial tuition waivers granted based on merits and status.
