EU Case Monitor

Description

What is the EU Case Monitor?
The EU Case Monitor is a PLG-hosted space for keeping up to date on the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
The EU case monitor is open to all TLS researchers and runs monthly. We are meeting on campus (usually in the Faculty Lounge).

Aim & format:
In the EU Case Monitor meetings, we discuss current developments in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union that speak to the field of EU law as a whole. The participation is open to those interested in EU law and wanting to stay updated on the CJEU’s most recent judgements.
The EU Case Monitor addresses the difficulty that it is hard for any single individual to remain informed about important cases in the vast expanse of EU law, even though such judgments frequently have ramifications for our fields of specialisation
The EU Case Monitor, therefore, serves as an early-warning system based on the expertise in PLG or other Departments of important EU law cases, rather than to initiate in-depth discussions about any particular judgment. The Monitor also functions as an informal forum for exchanging ideas.
The format is designed to reflect these aims. In about 5 minutes, participants introduce their cases (name, brief factual context, legal questions, legal reasoning, outcome), and explain why they think the case might be significant relative to their current teaching or research agendas. We then reserve time for discussion. In every meeting, around 4 CJEU's cases are discussed (occasionally, we also discussed AG Opinions or ECtHR cases that have a significant impact on the development of EU law).
The meetings are advertised to PLG members via Teams, on the PLG canal dedicated to seminars and events. Colleagues who express interest are added to the EU Case Monitor Teams page, where they can also consult a database of cases discussed over the years.
