Have you completed the minimum period of study for your law degree? Find out more about the final legal examination here.

The first law exam concludes your law studies at university.

It is divided into 2 examinations:

• The state compulsory subject examination

• The university specialization examination

The state compulsory subject examination counts for 70% of the overall grade. It includes a written and an oral part.

The specialization examination counts for 30% of the overall grade. It also includes a written and an oral part.

You can decide on the order of the two examinations.

The first state law examination is the basis for the preparatory service and therefore also for the second state law examination.
