MADRID, 22 (SERVIMEDIA)
A total of 6,731 aspiring lawyers are summoned this Thursday to the professional evaluation test, which is mandatory so that they can hang up their robes and start practicing.
As reported by the Ministry of Justice this Wednesday, tomorrow’s test will be held electronically and corresponds to 2022. The exam is focused on verifying that applicants have sufficient practical training and are duly aware of ethical and professional standards.
This is established by Law 34/2006 of October 30, which regulates access to the legal professions and contemplates this evaluation as a requirement, prior to exercising both professions.
The test will be developed telematically, simultaneously, through the AvEX platform of the National University of Distance Education (UNED). The platform was already tested on June 14, through a ‘mock’ test that simulated the real times of the exam. In addition, for the next two days, the platform remained open so that the applicants could familiarize themselves with it.
It was also previously available, on the Justice website, the evaluation test manual with the necessary requirements and instructions for access to the UNED AvEX platform, as well as for taking the exam and the necessary technical help.
75 QUESTIONS
In this test, the 6,731 candidates have requested to take the exam in four different languages: Spanish, Catalan, Galician and Valencian. The people who have requested some type of adaptation due to different capacities have been 18.
The exam will begin at 9:00 a.m., peninsular time, and will last for three hours, although it is expected to end at 3:30 p.m., taking into account the extensions of time necessary for the adaptations.
It consists of an objective test of theoretical-practical content with multiple answers, in which it will be necessary to answer a total of 75 questions, divided into two parts. The first part consists of 50 questions related to common subjects related to professional ethics, organization and exercise of the profession. The second part will have 25 questions about specific matters in the civil and commercial fields; penal; administrative and contentious-administrative; and labor.
On Friday, June 24, the template of the questions with the provisional answers will be available on the UNED platform, which will also be made public on the website of the Ministry of Justice. Likewise, the Ministry of Justice will inform, through its website and the usual channels, of the results of the test.
