Product Description
Textbook on EC Law is one of the leading textbooks in this area, providing a single book of manageable size which covers all the major areas of EC Law - constitutional, administrative, as well as substantive. The success of this approach, both at home and abroad, is reflected in the fact that this eighth edition is appearing only fifteen years after the first. The new edition is in response to far reaching changes taking place in the legal arena, and in the way the subject is being taught in law schools today.

The authors of this book have put together a very thorough and easy to understand book on the ohterwise difficult/ different stance that EC law places on us in the UK - i found this book to be easy to read and that it emphasised the points rather clearly. A good book for any law student embarking along the EC law pathway

Being a subject area of law that I have thoroughly detested, I think I owe a lot of gratitude to this book for getting me through this subect with a first class score of 70%. Despite negative reviews, and ridicule at its simplicity, it is precisely its simplicity and lack of drivel that allowed me to get my head around the concepts of EU law and is possibly one of its greatest achievements. Whilst I recognise the Craig de Burca commendable reputation, facing 150-300 pages of reading this book prior to a tutorial left me feeling deflated before I started and slightly intimidated!
I initally failed this subject due to ill health, I subsequently had to take a 'sit without residence' and for 12 months had to study the subject alone with no tutor or lecture input. The fact that I achieved a score of 70% this summer I consider to be significantly due to the Textbook on EU Law. It is clear, and topics are easily identifiable. The case law is detailed where neccessary but it does not cover ECJ judgements pages and pages long uneccessarily or make up half a page of footnotes! There are some areas of substantive law that are vague or not included, the book focuses on the fundamental areas and is upto date with current law developments.
I think there is a misconception with regards to knowledge of detail but my philosophy is that in order to understand the detail, you have to know the concepts first and this is a first class book that does that. If you want detail the cases and materials book on the subject is a good addition. The examiners are marking on understanding of concepts first and foremost. I really enjoyed reading this book (well as far as you can say enjoy reading a law textbook) and would highly recommend it to anyone studying the subject.
Obviously, Univeristies are different in their syllabuses, in my syllabus, there was nothing that was not covered in this book - be sure if considering buying it to briefly look at the contents page to ensure this is the same for you. Enjoy.

This book provides an accessible introduction to European Law, but no more than that. It provides a good reference point when doing revision. However, there are better introductory guides around, such as Weatherill's "Law and Integration in the EU". Craig and de Burca's "EU Law" and Weatherill & Beaumont's "EU Law" are much better textbooks. But I think the other review of this book was very unfair.

This book was terrible.
This book began in a haphazard fashion and continued this trend through out. The subject matter should have been simple to comprehend, but the way the information was presented... Read more
