Law Degree Program
A classical legal education involves a formal university law degree program, which is concluded upon taking the first state bar examination, followed by a two-year practical training period administered by the state after which individuals must take and pass the second state bar examination.
Upon passing the second state bar examination (assesor-of-law examination) individuals "qualify to hold a judicial office" and become "fully-licensed to practice law," which is a prerequisite to engage in typical legal professions such as becoming a judge, prosecutor, or attorney.
A law degree also allows individuals to engage in legal professions not subject to heavy regulation and licensure, especially within companies (e.g., the legal affairs departments of banks, insurance companies, trade associations, and media enterprises.)
