UNIwise partners with State Judicial Examination Office for Baden-Württemberg in delivering digital exams for upcoming season 

Following a Europe-wide tender process, the State Judicial Examination Office for Baden-Württemberg selected UNIwise, alongside German technical solution company computermiete.de, to help deliver a digital assessment option for students sitting exams in 2024. 

Around 1200 trainees take the Second State Examination in Law every year in Baden-Württemberg. The assessment ‘consists of a total of eight five-hour exams in the areas of civil law (four exams), public law (two exams) and criminal law (two exams).’ 

Trainees that had started their legal preparatory service from 1 April 2023 now have the option to switch from the standard written examination format to a digital option for exams starting on 2 December 2024. 

Minister of Justice and Migration in Baden-Württemberg, Marion Gentges, commented: "We will have a viable, electronic examination format, so that the legal degree also corresponds to the digital life and professional reality of the prospective full lawyers. Page-by-handwritten versions are no longer up to date as an examination format. The way for the electronic examination in the second legal state examination is now clear." 

A successful test for the digital version of the Second State Examination in Law was ran this March, and all signs pointed to the exam period in December being highly successful. We have been supporting the State Judicial Examination Office for Baden-Württemberg in adequately preparing for the exam season and are looking forward to continuing to do so in the run up to December.
