Procedure details

In public administration, legal trainees are trained for a period of four months at a district office, a municipality that employs at least one civil servant with the qualification to hold judicial office, a government, a district or a state office of the State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration.

There is also the option of completing practical training in public administration for a period of up to two months at an administrative court, a social court or a tax court. In addition, students can gain an insight into the practical work of an administrative authority or an administrative court as part of the three-month compulsory elective internship. The Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, for Sport and Integration also offers a few places for the compulsory elective internship in occupational field 2 - Administration. It is also possible to complete a supplementary course in administrative science at the German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer during the first two months of the administrative traineeship (including the last month of the judicial traineeship) and alternatively during the legal traineeship, with credit towards the preparatory service.

The aim of the training in public law is to familiarize trainee lawyers with the tasks and working methods of the administration and public law legal advisory practice as well as administrative court legal protection.

The station is intended to enable them to see normative regulations and administrative provisions in their social, economic, political and European legal contexts and to awaken an understanding of planning and formative administrative action.

As a rule, legal trainees are assigned to various departments or subject areas of the respective authorities or to chambers at the administrative courts during their training period. The training is supervised by legal civil servants who are qualified to hold judicial office or judges at the administrative court.
