Summary/Abstract: The uniqueness of system of legal protection in the EU consists in the fact that it covers both protection of subjective rights of individuals (including the vast domain of human rights) and the area of security, freedom and justice, as well as the protection of public interest, hence the spheres which may be mutually contradictory. The scope of such legal protection and its effectiveness and crucial properties affect the legal protection systems of particular EU countries. One must remember about the dynamism of the EU system and take into account potential future developments (both in the EU and Poland) after the Lisbon Treaty came into force. All these issues should be reflected in any academic introductory course (failing in many respects as yet) for the above subject.
