Review Quotes

"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." --Sinisa Rodin, Judge, Court of Justice of the European Union
