Evidence workflow

  1. Select the competition matching the language into which you can produce precise legal prose.
  2. Check its specific law-degree conditions in the notice. A generic law qualification does not establish equivalence automatically.
  3. Record diploma title, issuing institution, study duration and supporting evidence.
  4. In principle, professional experience is not required. A qualifying three-year degree also requires at least one year of relevant professional experience obtained after the degree.
  5. Upload and check readable documents against the two separate deadlines. Keep the portal receipt.

Use the official overview and the specific notice provisions when resolving a qualification question.
