The Westminster Law Library is pleased to let you know about
a new Research Guide for the European Union. This research tool will allow students
and others seeking information about the European Union (EU) to locate the
basic materials needed for legislative and case law research. Before beginning
EU research, it will be most helpful to get an overview of the organization of
the European Union system and the various entities that comprise the governing
body. The “European Union System” tab will take the reader through a brief
description of each of these areas and the role that it plays. Researchers will
also want to know about the various types of legislation in the EU and about
the Court system. The Guide is located here.
Researchers may also want to
know that the Europa website provides free access to all European Union
materials, and EU publications can be downloaded at no charge
Please contact me if you have questions about research materials for
the European Union.
