Law

Law (state examination)

Memorize paragraphs? Fortunately, you don’t have to do that in law school. Instead, you learn how to understand the numerous, often very abstract legal regulations and how to apply them to specific individual cases. As a result, lawyers can quickly orient themselves in the thicket of norms and find their way around even laws they have never encountered before.

In addition to the scientific foundation, our teaching is also characterized by practical relevance and training in key qualifications such as rhetoric, negotiation management and communication; thus, since 2003, our faculty has had an Institute for Lawyers‘ Law and Lawyers‘ Practice. Our curricula enable a quick start to studies (e.g. through tutorials for first-year students), efficient learning and optimal exam preparation (e.g. through the Erlangen Exam Course).

What is the degree program about?

The Law degree program (First Jurisprudence Exam) is the classic Law degree program.

Do prospective lawyers really learn paragraphs by heart during their studies? Fortunately not. Instead, they learn how to understand the numerous, often very abstract legal regulations and how to apply them to specific individual cases. As a result, lawyers can quickly orient themselves in the thicket of norms and find their way around even laws they have never encountered before.
