The aim of the subject called Constitutional aspects of European and International law is to analyse the mutual proportion between the EU law, or International law and the national law, that is the Czech law especially. As far as the issues of EU law are concerned the subject is specifically focused on the introduction of the Constitutional implications brought about as a result of the Czech membership in the EU. Those students who complete this subject will acquire knowledge essential for a better understanding of the functioning and limitations of the integration processes from the viewpoint of the Czech Republic, including the comparative viewpoint, when talking about the other EU member states. Those who decide to sign up will also gain useful skills necessary for handling sources and judical decisions of the Constitutional Court concerning so called European issues.
