The European Court of Justice is behind a recent and genuine enhancement of European constitutionalism, placing the rule of law, a long-established value and principle of EU law, center stage. This rule of law-enhancing process of rearticulation of EU constitutionalism is ongoing and represents the Court of Justice’s incrementalist response to the process of rule of law backsliding which first emerged in Hungary before spreading to Poland.
OSUN and CEU's Democracy Institute welcome network members to a public seminar aiming to present and critically analyze this judicial response on a case-by-case basis, taking the Court’s judgment in Case C-64/16, ASJP (Portuguese Judges) as a departure point and its judgment in Case C-896/19, Repubblika (Maltese Judges) as a provisional end point.
Coorganized with Re:consitution, the first public event of CEU Democracy Institute’s Rule of Law Working Group will allow key DI experts engaged with the case-law to outline the bigger picture, while focusing on crucial details.

Barbara Grabowska-Moroz, Research Fellow, CEU Democracy Institute
Dimitry Vladimirovich Kochenov, Lead Researcher of the Rule of Law Workgroup, CEU Democracy Institute
Laurent Pech, Senior Research Fellow, CEU Democracy Institute
Moderator:
Petra Bárd, Researcher, CEU Legal Studies
