Pursuit of Legal Harmony in a Turbulent Europe

As those who work in courts know, facility with the law does not suffice to make a great counsel, expert or judge. It is the personal intellectual treasures which elevate the good to the excellent. Few European lawyers can claim as varied and rich a professional background as Eleanor Sharpston. This compilation of essays pays tribute to her life’s work, all the while shining a light on the intellectual treasures which define her. * Síofra O'Leary, Former President of the European Court of Human Rights *
Eleanor Sharpston is an exceptional phenomenon in the legal universe. It is heartwarming to read the tributes to her ongoing work as an academic, a member of the CJEU and a devout European. Most of the authors represented in this volume are my academic colleagues, Court co-workers and friends. Eleanor left her mark on all of us and this book is the evidence and the heritage of her legal thought. * Siniša Rodin, Judge, Court of Justice of the European Union *
