The European Union is frequently portrayed as a cradle of judicial activism and a society constructed by courts. Tommaso Pavone demonstrates how this judge-centric narrative obscures a critical domain for political engagement. Europe's political evolution unfolded as a conflict between judges who resisted European law and lawyers who urged them to embrace change. Beneath the radar, these "Euro-lawyers" sought clients willing to breach state laws conflicting with European law, lobbied national judges to uphold European rules, and propelled them to submit noncompliance cases to the European Union's supreme court, the European Court of Justice, by ghostwriting their referrals. By shadowing lawyers who encourage deliberate law-breaking and mobilize courts against their own governments, The Ghostwriters upends the conventional wisdom regarding the judicial construction of Europe and sheds light on how the politics of lawyers can profoundly impact institutional change and transnational governance.
