Diplom-Jurist
{{Unreferenced, date=June 2019, bot=noref (GreenC bot) Diplom-Jurist (Dipl.-Jur.) is a master's-level law degree awarded by some German universities. Background Historically, German law students did not receive any academic degree upon completion of their curriculum. Instead, after usually four or five years of study, students would sit their First State Examination (Erstes Staatsexamen) in Law, which was administered by the ministry of justice of the respective state, not the university. More recently, however, some universities have begun to award their students a Diplom-Jurist upon passing the First State Examination, in order to indicate the equivalence of the education to a master's degree in other disciplines. Role for the legal profession The "Diplom-Jurist" does not give the holder the right to work as, for instance, a fully qualified attorney (''Rechtsanwalt'') or a judge. The German legal education system requires examinees of the First State Examination to pass a two- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
