Koblenz court: Right-wing author stops traineeship – now on the brink!

Koblenz court: Right-wing author stops traineeship – now on the brink!

In a groundbreaking ruling, the Koblenz Administrative Court decided that a prospective lawyer whose fiction work was classified as problematic would not receive a place in the legal preparatory service. According to a report by rheinpfalz.de The court states that admission to the preparatory service may not take place at all if there are suspicions that the applicant is working against the constitution. This case raises questions about how much influence literary work can have on a law student's professional future.

In making its decision, the administrative court referred to the novels of the law student in question. It was particularly emphasized that fictional characters that were brought to life there could also be used against the author. A fictional main character can certainly act as a witness, which underlines the relevance of writing in law studies.

Application for preparatory service

If you want to do legal preparatory work in Rhineland-Palatinate, you have to observe a few deadlines. Loud olgzw.justiz.rlp.de admission takes place on May 1st and November 1st. Applications for this must be received by the President of the Koblenz Higher Regional Court at least eight weeks in advance. The President of the Court also makes the central decision on admission. Applicants are therefore not entitled to a special training position, even if they indicate their desired allocation in the application form.

After admission, you will be referred for training in the district of the Palatinate Higher Regional Court, which also means that you can be deployed within a wide radius within the Higher Regional Court district. Short-term notifications for applicants in the replacement process are also planned, which is why a certain degree of flexibility is required.

Health insurance and financial aspects

As soon as someone works as a legal trainee in the public service, they are automatically a member of the statutory health insurance (GKV). This also applies to those who were previously privately insured lto.de determines. Switching to GKV is easy via a statutory health insurance company that you can choose from. If you have private health insurance (PKV), you only need to submit a membership certificate to clarify the matter.

For civil servants who are revoked, there is the benefit of a grant during the traineeship that covers 50% of medical bills and medical costs. The remaining 50% should be covered by private health insurance. In general, there are a few considerations to take into account when taking out PKV, such as the long-term cost development or the possibility of switching back to GKV at a later date, which many have already regretted.

The ruling of the administrative court and the requirements for applications for the legal preparatory service make it clear that literary creation in legal training can be viewed not only as a creative element, but also as a potential risk factor. The framework conditions for legal trainees, be it in terms of deadlines, insurance or professional opportunities, not only offer challenges, but also a lot of room for design and development.
