Instructions and readings for the next session of the crash course on law for economists On 30 March, we will continue the discussion from last week regarding the main legal families in the Western world and venture into some comparative law theory. The practical part of the session will focus on EU law, since this is the legal system which is most often at the heart of our discussions. Afterwards, I want to introduce you to research on eur‐lex and curia.europa.eu. I will show you how to find the following documents, but for now you might just want to rely on the links below and read them before our meeting. Just so your time is not wasted, I have picked documents that are highly relevant for competition policy. However, you do not need to understand everything that is going on there (actually, we will not discuss their substance in detail). We will focus on the structure and form of the documents, in order to give you some hints as to how to get to the essential information quickly: ‐ an example of legislation: Regulation 1/2003 [2003] OJ L 1/1, available on eur‐lex.europa.eu (click here). ‐ two examples of case‐law from the ECJ: Case C‐550/07 P, Akzo Nobel v. Commission, Judgment of 14 September 2010, not yet reported, available on curia.europa.eu (click here), a case where we discussed the General Court judgment in ClubMed; and, if time allows, Joined Cases C‑468/06 to C‑478/06, Sot. Lelos kai Sia EE [2008] ECR I‐7139, available on curia.europa.eu (click here), which we already covered in ClubMed. See you on Wednesday!
