This edited collection examines the changing role of the legal profession as experts in the context of European Union policy-making. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research and the idea of law as a social and political practice, this socio-legal work brings together a group of legal scholars and political scientists to investigate how lawyers, through the deployment of their expertise and knowledge, act as experts in matters of EU related policy-making at the national, European and international levels. It provides new theoretical viewpoints and untold stories from legal experts themselves, promotes an evolving definition of what constitutes legal expertise and what shapes legal experts in a time when experts are in equal measure both revered and ignored, and introduces new critical voices in the field of EU socio-legal studies.
Read more- Sheds light on little-studied decision-making processes and actors at European Union, international, and national levels, adding to the literature on EU law, integration theories, and studies on expertise and the legal profession
- Introduces the theoretical literature on expertise using concrete examples, rendering the theory accessible to readers without specialised training in law or political science or prior knowledge
- Introduces new voices and viewpoints into the field of qualitative socio-legal research and brings together perspectives from law and political sociology to show how different disciplines can interact

'… the reader will learn a lot. … This volume offers food for thought whether we are legal experts ourselves or we are citizens: the final beneficiaries of policies that legal experts helped create.' Ana Bobić, Common Market Law Review
