I have stated some basics to kick off work on this topic, and look forward to input from others. I have been wondering, though: should this be 'European Community Law, or 'European Union law? It seems to be popularly referred to as the European Union, but also, the treaty of Nice merged the Treaty of the EU and the Treaty of the EC. From that point is referred to in my texts as the Union, and not the Community. Thanks. --Louise Valmoria 04:06, 8 November 2007 (CST)

On the above query--I have surrounded myself with lots of reference material so I can work on this further and I think the terminology of European Community should stand. Would definitely appreciate some extra thoughts on the matter, and contributions from other law authors/editors though. Louise Valmoria 09:37, 2 January 2008 (CST)
