About Law:

Law is one of the humanities and is one of the oldest majors in history. Due to the diverse and promising future prospects of graduates, it is one of the most popular courses of study in Germany. After successfully completing your studies, you can work as a lawyer, prosecutor or judge, for example. However, more and more professions in politics and business are also suitable for lawyers.

Law regulates human behavior through a structure of different norms and deals with the regulations of people living together in society. The main task of lawyers is to apply these norms to concrete situations in order to reach a solution to a conflict. Law is divided into three areas: civil law, criminal law and public law.

Links between theory and practice can be established on the basis of concrete cases that are worked on during the internship. Basic key qualifications such as the ability to think logically and abstractly can be learned and deepened through a practical period. A good and confident handling of texts is also essential for every lawyer and will be trained during the internship. Furthermore, an internship helps to understand the daily routine in a law firm and to get to know the working methods of lawyers.

Our interns also go to the authorities, for example to the migration office. Of course, you may also accompany the lawyers to court hearings.
