The European Union (EU) is often depicted as a cradle of judicial activism and a polity built by courts. The Ghostwriters instead reveals that the EU was forged through a concealed struggle between judges who resisted European law and lawyers who encouraged deliberate law-breaking to mobilize courts against national governments.
