Alumni Perspectives – Antoine Parry

Alumni Perspectives – Antoine Parry: Lecture on ‘The CJEU & Case Law Developments’

About the event

Antoine Parry, alumni and current legal assistant at the Court of Justice of the European Union, will be giving a seminar lecture on ‘The CJEU & Case Law Developments’. The discussion will centre on the institutional composition, the different legal procedures, and the developments on important principles of EU law through recent case law.

The event is highly recommended to those who wish to learn more about the Court of Justice, what are the current legal and political issues or tensions that the court faces, and how one might pursue a career in the European legal environment, in particular at one of the EU institutions.
