Admission To Practice Law
There are no bar associations for judges and public prosecutors - the Ministry of Justice is in charge of administration of the professions (judges are appointed by the President). Advocates, legal advisors, notaries, bailiffs, patent attorneys, and tax advisors do have their bar associations.
There are several ways of admission to the bar. As to advocates and legal advisors, the following options are available:
- Magister's degree in Law followed by bar training (Polish: aplikacja) and bar exam;
- Magister's degree in Law followed by 5 years of legal professional experience and bar exam;
- Ph.D. in Law followed by either bar exam or 3 years of legal professional experience;
- high academic qualification in legal sciences (habilitated doctor, professor).
