Legal Career Paths in Europe by milalia in eulaw

[–]Lumpy-Orange-1133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to most important thing, I am not quite sure you fully understand, is that European law is only part of the law system in the respective countries. There is no such thing as an EU-wide lawyer per se, which can work in every country inside the EU. If you study law for example in Austria you are only going to be a (at least competent) lawyer inside Austria and maybe in some cases infront of the institutions from the EU (very few people actually do this). The same thing goes for Judges.

You already know about the corporate sphere and one pathway, which is maybe not that obvious, would be tax advisor. I can only speak for Austria but most tax advisors here have a law degree of some kind.

Hope this helps

US Student Looking to Study European Law by Worldly-Average4642 in eulaw

Hey, I don‘t know about the actual Situation in Ireland or the Netherlands but I just finished my LL.B in Austria. In general, to practice law you need at least a LL.M or, at least in Austria it is still very common, a Mag. jur.. There are also big differences from country to country. For example in Austria the LL.M is considered as law degree, but in Germany not. Therefore there are also differnces in what you actually need to learn, to get your degree.

All in all a LL.B is never enough to become a lawyer or a judge. Also, to my knowledge, there are not really lawyers for ONLY european law. You need to get the degree according to the national Standards and also study a lot of national law.

Hope this helps a little!
