A castle in the air : The complexity of the multilingual interpretation of european community law
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is well known that European Union law is multilingual. Union legislation is not only published in all authentic languages but equally authoritative in each language. The European Court of Justice has discussed – and indeed made use of – this multilingual character when interpreting Community law. However, the day-to-day application of Community law takes place not in the European Court of Justice but in the courts of the Member States. This study is concerned with the attitude towards multilingual interpretation of Community law displayed by the latter courts. It is pointed out that the European Court of Justice has created extensive obligations for national courts to conduct multilingual interpretation without offering any genuine guidance. The study draws on judgments from Danish, English and German courts and identifies a number of difficulties encountered in the interpretative process. The overall impression is that the multilingual interpretation of Community law in national courts is severely limited. The study also examines a number of factors which can help explain the attitude of national courts. It concludes that not only practical issues but also aspects of national legal culture and fundamental notions of the law contribute to the limited impact of multilingualism. The requirements created by the European Court of Justice are, on a national level, nothing more than castles in the air.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ulf Israelsson, mångårig studierektor, medarbetare och juridiska institutionens primus motor, vet vad som krävs för att bli en bra jurist. Ulf har, bland mycket annat, bidragit till juristutbildningens kvalitetsarbete genom att utföra enkäter med studenter som tagit examen. I enkäten som genomfördes 2018 kommenterade en tidigare student att "[d]et var 4,5 fantastiska år där jag lärde mig otroligt mycket". Det är naturligtvis tillfredställande för alla oss som undervisar på juristprogrammet när en student är nöjd med sin utbildning, men det viktiga är den senare delen av citatet. Att bli jurist kräver mycket arbete. Nio terminers hårt arbete kommer också att förändra de som börjar programmet. Vissa går så långt som att hävda att många juriststudenter upplever en intellektuell pånyttfödelse under första året på utbildningen. Det är inte möjligt att i detta sammanhang beskriva alla de utmaningar som studenter på juristprogrammet kommer att möta, men vi har identifierat tre centrala aspekter som alla juriststudenter måste förhålla sig till. Studenterna måste för det första lära sig att prata som en jurist, för det andra att arbeta som en jurist och för det tredje att hantera andra juriststudenter. Det kommer inte att vara enkelt, men vi lovar att det är värt det.

Bosman : a legacy beyond sports
- 2016

Ingår i: The legacy of Bosman. - Hague : T.M.C. Asser Press. - 9789462651197 - 9789462651203 ; , s. 31-49

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The 1995 Bosman case from the CJEU is one of the most famous judgments ever delivered by the Luxembourg court. It is well-known in sporting contexts, but this article takes the discussion beyond that area, demonstrating Bosman's importance in other areas of law by using network analysis. This illustrates that Bosman is an exceptional case, both in its own right and as a source of further cases, citing Bosman directly or indirectly. We also demonstrate that Bosman is primarily cited for four reasons: the jurisdiction of the CJEU in matters of preliminary rulings, the use of the fundamental freedoms against private entities, non-discriminatory obstacles on the internal market and the temporal effects of CJEU judgments. However, when analyzed further it becomes clear that the Bosman case contains few truly original contributions to EU law and largely builds on existing case law to draw important conclusions. Thus, the Court must have other reasons for citing Bosman. Given the characteristics of the case many such reasons are plausible. Bosman is well-written, well-reasoned, well-known and well-connected, making it an excellent source to use in future cases.

Characteristics of Precedent : The Case Law of the European Court of Justice in Three Dimensions
- 2015
-
Ingår i: German Law Journal. - 2071-8322. ; 16:5, s. 1073-1098
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is one of the most important sources of European Union law. However, case law’s role in EU law is not uniform. By empirically studying how the Court uses its own case law as a source of law, we explore the correlation between, on the one hand, the characteristics of a CJEU case— type of action, actors involved, and area of law—and, on the other hand, the judgment’s “embeddedness” in previous case law and value as a precedent in subsequent cases. Using this approach, we test, confirm, and debunk existing scholarship concerning the role of CJEU case law as a source of EU law. We offer the following conclusions: that CJEU case law cannot be treated as a single entity; that only a limited number of factors reliably affect a judgment’s persuasive or precedential power; that the Court’s use of its own case law as a source of law is particularly limited in successful infringement proceedings; that case law is particularly important in preliminary references—especially those concerning fundamental freedoms and competition law; and that initiating Member State and the number of observations affects the behavior of the Court.

Coherence out of chaos : mapping European union law by running randomly through the maze of CJEU case law

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recent research has demonstrated the ability of network analysis to better understand law. In this study we apply network analysis to the case law of the European Court of Justice (CJEU) in order understand its role as a source of law. In doing so, we apply network analysis tools not previously used in legal scholarship, most significantly (i) a modified version of the PageRank algorithm, (ii) the Map Equation, and (iii) resampling to infer “missing” links. In the article we demonstrate that this method can help us to understand not only the CJEU’s case law but law generally.
