How to become a lawyer

If your dream is to assist people in various areas of law and the presentation of their interests in court proceedings, the restoration of justice, the protection of honor and dignity of citizens, your future is a bar. Especially if you have the appropriate moral and business qualities, we can relate to communicability, self-confidence, tolerance, tact, principle, honesty and others. In addition, it is necessary to have an analytical mind warehouse, the ability to quickly make decisions, high intelligence and intuition, the gift of conviction and possess oratory.

To begin with, you should get a higher legal education on the selected specialization, and necessarily only in an institution that has state accreditation. The form of learning role does not play, but the chances of obtaining deeper knowledge on the bar will be more at admission to a narrow-profile educational institution. For the establishment of a true professional in the field of law, you will not need to easily find and suck the material, but to delve into hundreds of collections of laws, disassemble and analyze the successes and failures of the processes conducted in someone else's practice. You can think about changing the profession and if you have a scientific degree of the same specialty.

And even this will be not enough, because to obtain a lawyer's certificate, the applicant requires a two-year work experience in the following positions requiring a lawyer's education:

Judges;
Notary;
In research institutes and institutions;
In legal services of various enterprises;
Assistant lawyer;
In the states of the state of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation;
In the federal, municipal bodies of the State Registry;
In the judicial department organs at the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation;
Lecturer legal disciplines.

Note that if you get the first higher education, then your experience will be calculated only after receiving the diploma. For the same purpose, you can pass internship in the law institution.

Keep in mind that the lawyer will not be able to become a person who was recognized completely either partly incapacitated, as well as the one who has a conviction (only intentional crimes takes into account). If all the conditions are observed, you should contact the Qualification Commission for the Bar of your city with a request to assign you to the law status. You will need to provide:

Statement;
A copy of the passport;
Filled questionnaire;
A copy of the labor and diploma (certificate of assigning a scientific degree);
Other documents required in a certain subject of the Russian Federation.

Remember that all information is checked (maximum two months), because any of their inconsistency of reality can lead to what you will be denied to admit to the passage of the exam.

Next, you have to go through a qualifying exam, consisting of two parts: written test and oral responses for tickets or the tasks set. List of possible questions here. The decision to provide the status of a lawyer or the refusal is made by the Commission a maximum during the ninety days (from the date of submission of documents). In the case of a positive outcome, you will be taking the oath, after which you will officially become the owner of the welcome status. Otherwise, you can once again experience good luck, but only a year later.

Now you can fully immerse yourself in professional activities, and only you depends on how your career begins and how often you will see genuine thanks in our clients.
