Legal Internship Civil Division, 80% - 100%

Start of position: 1. July 2027 to 31. December 2027 Work location: Bern The Obergericht des Kantons Bern offers aspiring lawyers the opportunity to complete a six-month practical judicial training in its criminal or civil division in the sense of the Ordinance on the Bar Examination (BSG 168.221.1). Your tasks As a legal intern in the civil division, you will deal with legal issues from the full breadth of substantive and procedural civil law. You will analyze the contested decisions as well as the questions arising and independently prepare draft decisions in consultation with your supervisor and under the supervision of the responsible clerks. During the occasional higher-instance hearings, you will take the minutes and subsequently edit the written considerations. You will gain insight into the activities of the two civil chambers, the Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzgericht, as well as the supervisory authority in debt enforcement and bankruptcy matters. Your profile A prerequisite for an application is a successful Bachelor's degree in Law from a Swiss university. The Master of Law degree should be obtained within the first weeks of the internship. For us, the central factor is not the grade point average, but the motivation of the applicant. We therefore deliberately do not require a university degree with above-average qualifications. We offer you <br /> • careful induction as well as close guidance and supervision during the internship. • a pleasant working atmosphere. • an optimal engagement with practical questions in the field of ZPO and SchKG with regard to the bar examination. • a versatile and interesting as well as responsible task in exciting civil law cases. You work largely independently; at the same time, you are part of a young, motivated, and helpful team: regular opportunities for discussion and exchange with your supervising judges and the clerks responsible for you are a matter of course. • an annual working time model with flexible working hours and flexible time allocation • a central workplace immediately next to the Bern train station within walking distance of the university <br /> Contact Curious?
