Working as a lawyer in France
Avocat is a regulated profession. The usual path is a master's-level law degree, the national entrance exam to a regional bar school (CRFPA), about eighteen months of training, the CAPA certificate and the oath before a court of appeal, then registration with a bar. Lawyers qualified in another EU country can register under their home title, and non-EU lawyers usually go through an aptitude test subject to conditions. Company lawyers without bar admission work as « juriste ». Search with « avocat collaborateur », « avocat » plus the practice area, and « juriste » for in-house roles.
