Details

The inspirational ideas of Advocate General Francis Jacobs have been drawn together here for the first time in one volume. Fifteen leading EU law practitioners and academics have contributed, including both Sir Francis’s predecessor and his successor, covering topics of current discussion in this continually evolving field. Each contributor deals with a discrete topic of EU law and discusses its evolution to date, its current state and its future development, always with specific reference to Sir Francis’s opinions. 

Covering a diverse range of EU law topics, this book will be of great interest to anyone seeking a greater insight into the workings of the European Court of Justice and the role of the Advocate General, and also for anyone involved in the academic study of EU law or practising and litigating in the field. Making Community Law should provide a rich treasury of ideas, explaining both the current state of EU jurisprudence as well as considering the next steps in the making of EU law.

Reviews

‘This aptly-titled book, describing Sir Francis Jacobs’ career as one of the ECJ’s longest-serving Advocates General, also offers a unique insight into the Court’s “judge-made law”. The contributors, all pre-eminent in their respective fields, show how a widely-respected advocate-general can, through the intellectual force of his opinions, not only recommend, guide and warn the Court, but even on occasion persuade it to reverse its earlier case-law. Essential reading for those who need to understand the Court’s internal dynamics.’
– Judge Nicholas Forwood, Court of First Instance of the European Communities

‘Second longest serving Advocate General at the European Court of Justice; 574 Opinions to his name. This excellent book is an unqualified acknowledgement of Francis Jacobs’ towering influence in the world of Community law. But it is much more than a festschrift, though it is certainly that. It is a collection of scholarly essays, of real value to academics and practitioners alike, by some of our foremost European lawyers: a textbook as well as a celebration.’
– The Rt Hon Lord Justice Laws, Royal Courts of Justice, UK

‘This is a readable book which will help parties and the court to solve problems. Counsel and solicitors in cases involving European Law should use it to help them give clear advice and make clear submissions with a prospect of success. For my part, I shall now re-read one of the chapters, and the Jacobs opinions referred to in it, in order to stimulate my mind on what I trust will as a result become a clearer judgment.’ 
– The Rt Hon Sir Konrad Schiemann, Judge of the Court of Justice of the European Communities
