What are the principal institutions of the European Union?

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this written assignment is for you to provide a comprehensive description of the main institutions of the European Union, (“the EU”), and also a description of how these institutions interact with the sources of EU law.
TASKS:

You should identify the principal EU institutions and assess their individual composition, function and status within the overall EU structure. An analysis of each principal institution in turn is recommended. You can also refer to other less important institutions but you should be aware of the parameters of the overall word count. You should remember that this is a law assignment and not a political assessment. You should therefore avoid providing a political analysis.
