There are not prerequisites for enrolling this course.
The main objectives of the subject Practices in Judicial Offices are:
a) To contribute to the integral formation of the student by adding to the theoretic perspective an essential practical view that every jurist needs.
b) To learn the way of functioning ("from inside") of the Judicial Office.
c) To observe the existing work-methodology in a judicial body or in the Public Prosecutor's Office.
d) To allow an overview of the professional opportunities linked to the Degree in Law, specifically, in this case, in the field of the Judicial Offices and/or the Office of the Public Prosecutor. This guarantees a greater knowledge of the students when choosing their concrete professional exit.
To this end, a judicial mentor will be in charge of ensuring the correct functioning of these practices. The judicial mentor will contribute to define the student's training project and once the practices are finished, this judicial mentor will elaborate the final evaluation report.
According to the different judicial destinations that exist there is not a unique programme of contents in the subject Practices in Judicial Offices.
The final specification of the referred contents will be done by the judicial mentor assigned to each student.
During the first weeks of the academic course the students enrolled will be summoned to a meeting with the academic tutor of the subject Practices in Judicial Offices. In this meeting groups of four students will be formed. Each group will carry out the 50 hours of practices with the same judicial mentor. The formation of the groups of students can be done motu proprio by four students enrolled who choose to carry out the 50 hours of practices together. However, it is recommended to handle, where appropriate, other criteria that will be raised at the meeting, such as: the jurisdiction of preference (civil, criminal, contentious-administrative or labour), the judicial destination (in a specific court, with a public prosecutor...) or the town in which they wish to realise the practices (usually, Sabadell or Terrassa). Should such an agreement not be reached, the formation of the groups will be based on the average grade of the students file.
The preferences shown by each group in terms of judicial destination and location are transferred to the Center for Legal Studies and Specialised Training of the Generalitat. This Center will finally -taking into account the Judges, Public Prosecutors and others who have enrolled themselves in the programme opened by the Generalitat- assign the destination and the judicial mentor to each group before Christmas holidays.
The practices in Judicial Offices usually will be in the morning. The concrete calendar and schedule of the 50 hours of practices in Judicial Office will be agreed at the initial meeting of each group with its judicial mentor. In the last courses these practices have taken place within the first four months of the year (January-April). However, the deadline of the completion of the 50 hours of practices is set by the Center for Legal Studies and Specialised Training of the Generalitat (and not by the Faculty of Law) each academic year.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The grade obtained by the student in the subject is the result of weighing the assessment made by the judicial mentor (70%) and the final report that must be handed out to the academic tutor of the practices (30%). The date and place of handing out the final report will be announced during the course.
In the final report, the student will have to include: a) a detailed description of the tasks and work carried out; b) an assessment of the tasks carried out with the skills acquired in relation to the Degree in Law; c) a list of the problems raised and the procedure followed to resolve them; d) the main contributions that, in terms of learning, these hours of practices have entailed; e) the final assessment of the practices.
Failure to submit the final report within the specified period will result in the grade "Not Presented".
