Product Description
Product Description
This eagerly awaited new edition has been significantly revised after extensive user feedback to meet current teaching requirements. The first major textbook to be published since the rejuvenation of the Lisbon Treaty, it retains the best elements of the first edition – the engaging, easily understandable writing style, extracts from a variety of sources showing the creation, interpretation and application of the law and comprehensive coverage. In addition it has separate chapters on EU law in national courts, governance and external relations reflecting the new directions in which the field is moving. The examination of the free movement of goods and competition law has been restructured. Chapter introductions clearly set out what will be covered in each section allowing students to approach complex material with confidence and detailed further reading sections encourage further study. Put simply, it is required reading for all serious students of EU law.

Format:Paperback
This is certainly one of the clearer legal textbooks that I've read - it is very well laid out, separating out case and instrument extracts nicely and presented in a structure which makes notetaking very easy. Unfortunately it's substance is, in some key areas, rather flawed. Judicial Review in particular contains some rather confusing contradictions which are left unexplained, as well as some strongly opinionated views which, unless read in conjunction with other texts, could well be mistaken for fact due to the way in which they are presented. Sometimes this can veer dangerously close to misinformation. For example, the doctrine of manifest error is disregarded briefly as subjective, when in fact there is little case law to back this up. Indeed the only descriptions within dicta have referred to it as strictly objective, and the opinion that it is subjective is written as if factual, which would need to be substantiated before being dismissed in a similar way in an essay or exam.
Overall I would say that due to the shortage of good textbooks which are up to date with the Lisbon Treaty this is worth owning, but it should be read warily and possibly just to get an overview of a subject before using a less approachable text to take substantive notes.

This is the second best textbook on the topic. Off course, the first one is P.P. Craig and Grainne De Burca's EU Law, 3rd Ed. But since Craig&De Burca's book is becoming a little outdated because the last edition came out in 2003, I strongly recommend this book for all European Union Law students (till the new edition of Craig&De Burca's book :-) )... Chalmers' book is well laid out, accessible and comprehensive. Definitely worth buying specially if you are studying EU law at graduate level...Another good thing about it is that, all chapters also refer to the concerning provisions of draft constitution.
