Episode #11 of the Borderlines CJEU series features Judge Siniša Rodin in conversation with Professor Katerina Linos (Berkeley). Appointed as a Judge at the Court of Justice in 2013, Judge Rodin discusses his remarkable career, ranging from becoming a distinguished Professor of EU law at the University of Zagreb to serving as a member of Croatia’s Constitutional Amendment Committee. Intertwined with Judge Rodin’s experiences is a discussion of Croatia’s accession to the EU, and how from Judge Rodin’s perspective, EU membership initially felt like “science fiction.”
Listeners will come away with a better understanding of the European Citizens Initiative and specifically, the case One of Us and hear about the Court’s role interpreting “gray zones” between the powers of the EU and exclusive competences of the Member States. Judge Rodin also covers current trends impacting the Court, such as anonymizing cases with invented names and increase in length of judgments.
