Specialisation Seminar - Applicationof the European Law in the Member States 2200-1F044

The Polish legal order, since the accession to the EU, i.e. from 1 May 2004, consists of, taking into account the subjective aspect, i.e. the legislator, the subsystem of EU law, established by a specific EU legislator, and the subsystem of Polish law, established by the national legislator . From the point of view of the subject, the Polish legal order is a monistic one, because the EU law is part of the national legal order.
However, the interaction between EU law and national law is complex and governed by general principles such as the principle of direct effect of EU law, the primacy of that law and the principle of effectiveness.
These principles define the legal nature of the relationship between the EU law system and the national law system, define the position and tasks of the national courts of the Member States in the process of interpreting and applying the law of both systems, but also (which is the most difficult) national administrative authorities.

Term 2023:

The thematic scope of the seminar is shaped each year so as to include specific legal problems dealt with by the courts (CJEU and national) in the process of applying EU law. Students will fill in a questionnaire in which they describe their interests, on this basis the teacher will prepare a list of problems and relevant court rulings. The seminar consists in the presentation of papers in the hall, followed by discussions. Before each seminar, a reading material is sent, usually judgments and/or a scientific article on the topic of the next seminar.

Type of course

proseminars

Prerequisites (description)

The seminar will cover a wide and up-to-date spectrum of legal problems related to the membership of the state (especially Poland) in the European integration processes. The main point of reference will be the application of European Union law by national courts and their dialogue with the Court of Justice of the European Union. This dialogue takes place primarily through the preliminary ruling mechanism. The problems the seminarians will deal with during the classes will largely depend on the interests of students. Before the classes, a survey will be carried out that will allow them to be specified.
