Review Quotes:
"I cannot think of another book that presents and explains the foundational judgments of the Court in such a clear and lively way...an excellently presented précis of current and past mainstream doctrinal thought." --Gareth Davies, European Law Review, Volume 37
"... an authoritative work in the bibliography on landmark decisions of the Court of Justice ... this volume contains contributions that involve essential methodological issues for any solid research in the field of EU law." --Mihai Banu, Revista Romana de drept European, No 3 "This is one of those books that has an undeniably magical side to it, despite the fact that the law should obviously be an austere discipline.[The book] give[s] life to an 'ideal interpretation' of the European Court of Justice's most important decisions and which, from a variety of points of view, enable[s] the reader to establish an informed opinion on the basis of a balanced calculation of past events." --Michel Theys, Agence Europe: Bulletin Quotedien Europe "This collection is an enjoyable read." --Marc Jacob, European Law Books Website
