Workshop "National Courts vis-à-vis EU Law: New Issues, Theories and Methods

Description

The workshop has followed and developed a new research agenda and review some old aspects on how and why national courts are involved in the process of EU legal integration by raising new questions and discussing different empirical aspects concerning the relevance of national judges’ knowledge, experiences and judicial networks for the application of EU law or the impact of national courts on the implementation of EU rights, policies and treaty ratification. The general purpose of the workshop was to bring together scholars who work in the area of judicial behaviour in the process of legal integration within the Union and who employ a new methodological and theoretical approach to the problem. This allowed for cross-fertilization, exchange of opinions and knowledge between the academics but also for the critical assessment of the new tools which the scholars use to scrutinize the problem of judicial behaviour in the context of EU law.
