The Max Planck Institute for European Legal
History is hosting its annual conference for the “Legal History of the European
Union” research field.
While the most recent research on the legal
history of the European Union has established that the European Court of
Justice (ECJ) has played a critical role in the functioning of European
institutions, other legal actors have also played important roles, exerting a
decisive influence on the ECJ and on legislators. This, for instance, was the
case with the legal services of institutions such as the Commission, the
Council of Ministers and the European Parliament, decisively influencing the
negotiation of various European treaties and the resolution of legal
controversies – especially concerning institutional competencies, which was
ultimately resolved through bilateral meetings between these legal services,
and by the ECJ.
Hosted at the Max Planck Institute for European
Legal History (Frankfurt am Main), this conference will bring together scholars
and former members of these institutions' legal services. They will present the
historical trajectories of the legal services via key figures, the doctrinal developments
achieved by each institution, and their cooperation with academics and legal
practitioners. Contributions will reflect on how each of these legal services
has influenced the general development of EU law as a constitutional practice,
their implications for the process of European integration and its
institutional evolution.
Guests are welcome to register for the event to
take place at Frankfurt am Main, Campus Westend, on 18 and 19 June 2019. There is no conference fee.
