Bar school entrance exam, CRFPA
The CRFPA is the entrance exam to the French bar schools. Lumi helps you retain the rules, articles and case law of each subject.
In short
To become a lawyer in France you take an access exam to the regional centre for lawyers’ professional training, the CRFPA, after a master’s in law. The exam has written eligibility papers, such as a synthesis note and law papers, then oral admission tests, including a grand oral and a modern language. Once admitted, you follow the bar school training before taking the oath.
What goes on your cards
For the CRFPA, make cards for exact legal definitions, code articles, leading cases and the conditions of each regime, in contract law, criminal law, procedure, public law and fundamental freedoms. Lumi has you recall them.
A study rhythm
There are many subjects, so spread them over the week and spend a little time each day on each, with reviews that space out (Kornell, 2009). Do timed synthesis notes each week alongside. Before the oral, go through the cards aloud. See Spaced repetition, how long to wait between two reviews.
