Planning the Preparation for Written
C. Planning
first Compliance
First, I read a book on the preparation without the Rep, because I was looking for something to support my decision. My choice was "honors - the way to successful self-examination" by ter Haar, Lutz, Wiedenfels. Very helpful both in my suggestion to find confirmation of my decision, and for the actual planning, because the book contains a sample learning plan and include recommendations on how to create a corporation.
second Exam Date select
Second I determine when I wanted to write the latest exam. But I counted backwards: On D-Day I wanted to at least begin the clerkship. Before that you need to price regularly several months waiting time (Caution:. The waiting times vary from strong to OLG OLG information on waiting times can be found on the pages of OLGs and on sites like http://www.juristenkoffer.de/rechtsreferendariat/laenderuebersicht.htm ). Applications can be only if you have the certificate examination, which must be run according to the oral examination before. The Oral held in NRW in the fifth month after the last exam, so I counted back from there five months. As a precaution, I built up a small buffer and laid out three possible exam months. Finally, I wrote down when I had to register for the exam in question months later than the exam. I was so about 17 months preparation time up to the exams, which went well for me.
third Stratification / free shot or not?
point three was quickly decided: I would not
stratification.
a) My test anxiety is always about the same, no matter if I sing an aria in front of 500 people or read from a short three paragraph must, with less fear than three was six exams so not to be expected. In fact, I experienced it as rather distressing corresponding to write all exams in one block. Better be excited only once ...
b) In addition, I had made in the study of the experience that I, if I only had a technical preparation is needed, not better-performing, quite the opposite.
c) Finally, I hoped for the simultaneous learning for all three areas of law synergies and additional insights. So it did.
4th Rough classification
point four - the rough draft. Since I would not stratification, I had a total of about 17 months in order for the six exams learn. I shared in three phases: Phase 1
: about eight months developing the substance
Phase 2 deepen about five months, the fabric and fill any gaps
Phase 3: about four months, the fabric repeat
This rough planning was in retrospect makes sense. The biggest weakness of the classical preparation models I see is that you usually a whole year is busy trying to work out the fabric for the first time, at least in rep many fail to meet even at this time to rework the current in each case the same material. Correspondingly, gaps to be filled later, and it has at the same time less preparation time for repeat and deepening. This disadvantage is partially offset by treating a part of the fabric even when dealing with cases in the rep several times. On the other hand like me in my planning is particularly good that the substance in any event three times by chewing, not even Klausurenkurs and AG considered. In retrospect, I would also shorten the development phase rather in favor of another repeat passage of six months.
5th Details
step five - the detailed planning
the start of the exam preparation, I put on 1 September 2008 set. The August I used to plan the development phase in detail and I otherwise nice rest.
So I was going:
My first hand was for the perfect legal education law, which can be found online among others. There is listed in some detail what it takes of the exam and whether knowledge is deepened or required only a glance and what exactly that means.
the relevant § 11 JAG NRW me I copied a file. In the file I noted in a table first, influenced by the sections and chapters of the laws concerned, the relevant sections, for example, "BGB - § § 116-144, declaration of intent".
counted as a second from me, how much time I would have. I was at six Learning days of the week, namely 8 x 50 minutes, so 40 hours per week that at these times:
8:30 to 9:20 9:30 to 10:20 10:40 to 11:30 11:40 -
12:30 15:00 to 15:50 16:00 to 16:50 17:10 to 18:00 18:10 to 7 p.m.
It was important to have set aside sufficient breaks; that arose as a useful out. The plan was for me to create as good, but I was then but often undisciplined, to keep me because I started later and took a longer lunch break and learned to be longer in the evening. My experience is that it is not worth investing energy, order as to force anything. As long as you can do that day's work, everything is okay.
had to withdraw from the 40h I:
- 4h AG
- 4 hours for the AG-preparation (which lasted longer if I had to prepare a case, but shorter, if someone else had put the case)
- from 7th Month, the time for the Unirep-course exam (exams and write reviews)
led the rest, added together, the time that I had to work out the fabric. I distributed this time roughly in civil law, criminal law and NC, at a ratio of 3:2:1. This ratio has also subsequently fitted approximately. I also aiming for sub-areas (criminal AT / BT, SchuldR / SachenR ...) at very roughly, as I did in relation to each other weights respectively.
Well I went to the library and picked out the books that I wanted to work in time, the Detterbeck as administrative law AT and Looschelders for Obligations AT, AS scripts for corporate and government organizations, inhibitors scripts for administrative law BT . For every book I had to estimate how many pages I read 50 minutes per well and "to paint colorful" would create (usually 5-10).
With the books on the table, I pulled out my list of the test material and wrote to each segment, on how many pages He was treated in the selected textbook and how many units of 50 minutes I would need for it. In doubt, I rounded on more important issues (rape, murder, sales law) to generously and held less important (IPR ...) scarce.
This was done most of the work already. I now resembled the list of how many units I need for what would, from my rough schedule for the part of law. To my delight, came out almost exactly the targeted conditions.
Finally, I created on the basis of a detailed weekly schedule, which required me exactly at which half the day I would read the chapters in which book. Here I changed from week to week between civil law and ER / criminal law.
Warning: This I would subsequently manage less severe. You can just create the detailed plan, with no data, then completely read the mood takes you exactly what an interesting moment. Experience has shown that is namely, when one law may in itself fairly and teaching material has chosen that one is nice, at some point also get in the mood to hate subjects. If it is paying attention to keep around to the time constraints and always nice check off what you have been treated, you have gone through in the end, all the material once, but it has in the entire time only deals with issues that a just interested! This is not only pleasant but also more efficient because when an issue is a positive attitude, you are also more receptive.
This was so my learning plan for the first few months. On the revision or consolidation phase, I wanted my first worry when it was time. I also recommend, because if you an overview of the material and has a bit more learning experience, one can determine more appropriate to what you want to add more depth or substance and how the repetition of the sense.
On 1 September, I started happy with the preparation. Although discipline and routine is not my strengths , it haute out about. The gaps in between me and were still attracted attention, I was in "Phase Two" close.
6th Learning
has worked well for me:
- read textbooks and lecture notes.
It always starts with an overview of the book, then give the upcoming section. This looks to be the contents, the preface, and simple browsing. Connecting read paragraph by paragraph. After each paragraph, pause for a moment: What were the relevant information in this section? Can I as them in the Format - take "question answer"? If a dispute or a legal opinion presented? Can I divide the argument for me makes sense?
- the learning materials colorful paint. This step has
helped me in three respects. First, I had
busy reading my hands. Secondly, I have
if I my application a second time at hand, took my bearings much better. Third, it was
sometimes the proof that I had something but probably read before, even though I had forgotten it since then.
- Use Act.
lasts a little longer, but worth it: Just every law mentioned in the learning materials, open and read. Often it is found that the author has written off only the legislation. It can also classifications or schemes quickly noted, for example, that you go through for the admissibility of claims before the Federal Constitutional Court, only the Federal Constitutional Court Act, from front to rear needs or that the conditions for the disturbance of the basis of complete in § 313 BGB and to some extent superfluous, extra elements as "factual element", "hypothetical element" and "normative element" to memorize.
- summarize material.
I have great Part of the material summarized in his own words, partly as a "FAQ", some in the form of scripts. These records are never finished, but when I take it again at hand, I am often surprised what it says it all. The work has given me joy - it's fun to structure the material itself, encountering problems of understanding to resolve these disputes just stands prepare exam ... Good times.
- learn by heart. Long
not great need for alone for a periodical repetition in the AG or the exam course is shaped in much. I have only really seriously in the two months before the exams and the week before the oral definitions by heart learned also some schemes that had I not impressed, for example, for the review of dismissals in employment (including warnings).
Those who are very brave, may record your definitions and then listen while jogging or walking. Otherwise, do flash cards ...
I found useful, that I for the admissibility of an action for rescission and obligation rather a kind of early walk had thought through my town. Since then the town hall were the complaints, the District government, the opposition procedure, the post office, the period at VGH and OVG the two jurisdictions, the home appliance store they found the proper legal action in the window, and in the car park the legal interest. Too much I would not want to remember with this technique - too expensive. But if you ever get in trouble with a scheme has, it can be a good way, in two senses.
- Repeat, repeat, repeat .
repetitio est mater Studiorum, the spell wears out, unfortunately, due to repeated bending not so right. The repetition also has beautiful sides, namely when the second or third working through a topic at last the penny drops. Finally sits down the puzzle together, we mean a connection or can remember a fight - that's also a bit happy ...

Greeting In Telephone Sales
AG, Exam Course, Crash Course, current case law
D. The AG
Parallel to the preparation alone I founded with three friends a corporation. We met a year once a week for four hours (including short break). In turn brought one of us a great case to a predetermined topic (eg "EBV" or "murder / manslaughter") with. The others had three each for about one half to one hour to each site to customize a solution for sketch. The AG-manager of the week took advantage of this quiet working mostly to their solution yet once or go read something else. Then we solved the case, as in an oral examination. That is, the AG-head turn took us and we checked in, if possible style advice.
The AG-plan we had previously determined jointly. The cases should come alternately from the civil law and Ö-Recht/Strafrecht (ratio 2:1:1). Because of the importance of the different areas of law, the requirements were sometimes quite detailed ("EBV", "freedom of expression and association") and sometimes rather coarse ("Labour", "Construction Law").
a special challenge for us was that we are all different prepared for the exam: one with inhibitors, a small group at AS and one at Unirep. For me it was easiest, I had completely after six months the AG material once through. In retrospect it would have been useful to ensure, even more important that we treat in the group only matters that all have ever had in their own preparation. This is particularly true for the secondary areas, which are banished to the best end of the AG Plan.
was the other hand, the heterogeneous composition of the AG also an advantage because we could read from various sources, the best explanations and aphorisms.
Overall, the AG was a great addition . I can each and every one a try, to seek also a learning group, no matter how otherwise prepared. You learn a lot in conversation with others, exercise, get bug that you would otherwise be made on the exam - and besides it's also really fun! We had in any case always a good laugh.
E. The Klausurenkurs
After nearly six months I began to write exams. This is important is well known. This (first) about six months after the exam to begin is also useful, because then you have already a fund of knowledge with which you can battle through a solution.
I have written and around 30 exams given, both in Unirep-course exam as well as inhibitors, where at that time in Munster, the retreat meetings (with Jan Jacob and Christian Pope) were very, very good. I have also made further examinations solution sketches. This is useful when one has the impression that one has to write a problem with the timing. Solution with sketches can practice good to see the focus of a retreat to structure a case solution to clean and to repeat both definitions as well as military items. The time you save, because you create drafted solutions, you can spend on this, Read problems that could not answer in the exam.
yes I've written quite a few exams and is considering a couple of times, whether it would have been better to write more. Most likely it would have presumably paid to write such exams, which are very queried many familiar problems in a relatively short time. For in such exams, one can check, whether one just these problems "in the pan" and has for example in a position to build the nested test of a cost decision in POR sovereign. Who is already prepared for a while again exam, should be able to recognize such facts on exams.
F. However, even for commercial Rep: The Crash Course
After independent over a year of preparation, I felt like I sprinkle We'd also leave. I also found it reassuring to get presents from a professional, which would in any case belong to the relevant material. Since I was focused, the AS-Crahskurs site too much on current case law, I booked the crash course with inhibitors, the teachers I had heard, thanks to my friends more (mostly positive).
has ultimately been worth about the price in half. The material on criminal law, employment law, Code of Civil Procedure and Ö-law were very useful for me. Labor Code of Civil Procedure and I had also neglected until then rather because I had not found any book that gave me the fabric in the desired compressed size of me, here I have two very nice notes of the course brings in the exam exams. Otherwise, the course looked really calm above all, hardly something new, so I did nothing substantial had overlooked.
G. Current law
by the Audit Office Hamm had there been an information event, an indication that it would last about five to eight months to create a retreat. Since exams often on current legal Developments were based, one is well advised to observe this phase in the case law and the education journals of vigilance.
The last months before the exams, I spent so others telling me to get an overview of the current law. For that I evaluated the verdict meetings several training journals for 2009 (on a written exam date February 2010). Judgments that have been discussed several times, or were relevant to my exam because their subject matter came to my reading list. Overall, I read so within three weeks about 150 Judgement meetings.
Although none of these judgments drankam on the exam, this study was still useful, because in this way I repeated just before the exams again the different areas and got a pretty good feel for what moves the world of legal straight. Then there was the pleasant, good conscience, I must in any event not blame the exam if current law would mess out. And yes, we all know: A good conscience is a soft pillow.

Wakeboard Tower Height
The preparation for the oral examination
H. The Preparation for Oral
After the exams in February, I was once nearly two months off. Who is industrious, may enter sooner, to me it has so served.
first AG for Oral
In April, I met with two friends to prepare for the oral examination. Three times a week we came together for one and a half hours: Mondays
Civil Law, Public Law
Tuesdays, Thursdays
criminal law.
At each meeting held one of us a lecture on the legal field of the day and got the other two constructive (!) Criticism, then we played three times in twenty minutes oral exam, each tested once.
a) lectures
The presentations we rotated so that each in all legal areas regularly and as frequently drankam. After receiving the charges, we held the lectures in the course supplied us with jurisdiction (in NRW you get in the charge indicated which of the three major areas of law of the presentation will be kept).
The presentation cases had to prepare themselves and pick out every home. Even if (as we regularly) while still larded in the books, it is advisable to adhere even to the limited preparation time (in NRW) to 60 minutes. You have to practice not only how to hold a lecture, but also how you look at the preparation time divides correctly. Even better is, therefore, if one is already the case for the preparation and checked one another out, that the lectures be as prepared under exam conditions!
cases are suitable as lecture situations in which 2-3 facts / bases for claims, etc., 2-3 and 2-3 people issues need to be examined, eg beginner exams, including how they are published regularly in the JuS.
Note: the cases in the series "The short lecture in the first Examination "of Augsberg are my impressions after rather too short.
Those who are very courageous, can be at times to lecture also record video, and we were spared that.
b) conducted discussions
Unlike the AG before the exams this time we had narrowed the issues of not more than ZR / ER / StrafR. This was entirely appropriate, after all, we had prepared for everything before. Even if we were not all present at once (on the contrary ...), was certainly a good exercise because it can happen to a real test in the same way. And then?
During the simulated test calls can be playing well different types of accountants - ill-prepared, ill-tempered, impatient, or even that meticulous, giving an endless situation, the others must then be summarized. The latter is in fact one important exercise! The summary is already an examination! Do not underestimate how difficult it is to play back still in the first fear is the legally relevant aspects of a situation!
second Basics repeat
I also repeated once again the fundamentals . After a two month break I had in the first week of a feeling of "criminal law? what is it? I have about the can "-? This was announced but soon! Unless you know the members of the Examination know is basic repeat the only sensible way, you can do that.
third Protocols
As soon as I get the charge, I got myself out of the student council, the relevant protocols and analyzed them. My presentation case would be based in criminal law, so I weighted Criminal Law - Ö-law - civil rights in the ratio 2:1:1. I just read in criminal law by the "most important" cases of inhibitors. My ER-examiner was pleased protocol, so I limited the material to be repeated accordingly. The civil lawyer checked everything, but often Basics - voila. Finally, I had calculated it at even the incredible luck that he was considering a case that I still had recently discussed with my AG.
4th again: practice talk!
I also practiced now again increased for the talk. Necessarily seek out people who you listen to ten minutes and give you feedback! The people do not even always be in the trade, it's all only in passing during practice to ensure the accuracy of content. Essential it is important to practice how to report a case orally in style triggers - the right focus, careful language, supportive gestures, clear structure, correct timing. The talk is your business card , the first lasting impression you leave at the Examination Board. He can decide whether you up or down tested 'will! So exercise! take Unproblematic briefly present problems pretty clearly organized, free submit, major premise, definition, subsumption, result, watching this sovereign from the laundry.
Some universities - including the EMU - Incidentally, the opportunity to participate in test simulations with professors and researchers.
CONCLUSION
I added the "direct" Preparation for first Exam total joy made, that it was worth it in terms of course note as well. I wish all those who have the right to success, whatever their design, the preparation time. Dare to tailor your learning to your abilities and needs! Critically compares and selects the options available. Provides quiet around when you realize that it does not fit. Last but not least: have fun and share new knowledge on legal discourse.
