The Cambridge Companion To European Union Private Law, Daniela Caruso Jan 2011

The Cambridge Companion To European Union Private Law, Daniela Caruso

Shorter Faculty Works

Well into its teens by now, the private law of the European Union has its own companion. The very appearance of a publication of this sort is indeed a coming-of-age moment for a discipline whose existence was hard to fathom until the 1980s. Member states’ judges and lawyers have come full circle, from resisting European Union private law as an intrusion into a quintessentially national sphere, to embracing it as a natural consequence of market integration.

Internet Access Rights: A Brief History And Intellectual Origins, Jonathon Penney

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
