Europeanisation of law

In the context of European integration, Europeanisation of law may be interpreted as

• broadening of the scope of European law,
• emergence of new legal disciplines in Europe.

According to Professor Jacques Ziller the Europeanisation of law has three main consequences:

• leads to change in the systems of sources of law in the national legal systems,
• legal systems converge,
• changes legal sciences' methodology.
