| Sumario: | The main features of the German legal education system may be summarised as follows. Access to legal education is very simple: it is open to anybody irrespective of financial constraints (studying is practically for free) or social background. In theory, students are able to draft their own curricula and to organise their studies however they wish to. Accordingly, university studies do not have any definite duration. However, examinations are extremely demanding; nearly all of them are in writing, oral examinations do not play a strong part. Academic legal knowledge is never examined directly, nor is the content and wording of statutes. Such knowledge is presupposed, and has to be applied in order to be evaluated. Correspondingly, the prevailing method of examination is to put to students sophisticated cases that must be brought to a resolution within a very short time. Additionally, examination scripts are never marked and corrected by the person who set the paper. Behind this over-simplified description, lies an unusual and peculiar educational ideology which this article seeks to elucidate. In order to facilitate a better and more detailed understanding of the German legal education system, its basic structure will be set out, its principles and ideals, and their corresponding historical backgrounds, will be explained, and finally, the German model will be classified from a comparative perspective. |
