This course will present the fundamental decisions of the European Court of Justice. Furthermore, it will discuss important decisions of the constitutional courts and the supreme courts of the member states which concern the participation of the state in the process of supranational integration. The knowledge about the different approaches and perspectives in European and constitutional jurisprudence will provide the participants with a deeper understanding of the interaction between European and national law. The course is not confined to the contents of the decisions but also aims at an analysis of the argumentation patterns, the applied methods and the understanding of the courts of their perspective roles. Apart from providing a broad knowledge, the course trains participants to become conscious of the strong and weak points and the limits of legal argumentation. In accordance with this course concept, frequent discussions build an integral part of the course. Finally, the course will discuss if and in what respect the Treaty of Lisbon gives rise to changes of the European Court's practice.
The course follows the concept of block lectures, which has proved successful at many European universities: After a few separate introductory lectures, the main part of the course will take place during two joint two-day meetings, one on March 12/13 in Tartu, the other on May, 14/15 in Rīga. To receive the credit points, participants have to take part at both two-day meetings. The concentration on a coherent subject for several days, far away from daily work routine, will allow a more intense and fruitful work. In the evenings, the participants will have the opportunity for comparative studies in student and cultural life (are there better bars, clubs and parties in Tartu than in Rīga?).

See also the much discussed article of Herzog/Gerken (see above, B.I.), the literature on the Lisbon judgement and the numerous publications from the nineties on the so-called "cooperation relationship" ["Kooperationsverhältnis"] between the European Court of Justice and the constitutional courts of the member states.
Preliminary remark: Since the Treaty of Lisbon has entered into force in December 2009, most textbooks, commentaries, handbooks and other publications on European Union law are not up to date anymore. There have been extensive and far-reaching changes, in particular concerning the institutions of the Union and the protection of fundamental rights. Therefore, it is recommended to use primarily new books or new editions, which have been published in 2010.
