Participation

The target group of the training will be “young lawyers in private practice”, including trainee lawyers and – in jurisdictions in which initial training does not include a period of legal practice– newly qualified lawyers with less than three years of experience.

 

A person is considered a “trainee lawyer” if s/he is regarded as such under national law, including in the form of an induction or apprenticeship period, and if s/he has not attended initial training activities for more than three years.

 

This definition does not include law students. Participants need to fulfil the criteria at the beginning of the year 2023, therefore a trainee passing the bar exam or being newly qualified as a lawyer in the course of 2023 can still apply for the events.

 

Participation is possible only upon nomination by the partners of the project. For further information please turn to the local bar association.

 

Language

Participants should have a working knowledge of English.
