In Hungary, it takes a little longer – five years at a law school plus three years of training before one is qualified to take the Bar Examination. Only after having passed the Bar Examination can one practise as an attorney
HISTORY
The Faculty of Law is one of the oldest faculties of the University. It was established in 1667 'to remit deficiencies in Hungarian legal education'. Until 1872 the Faculty of Law at ELTE was the only institution in Hungary which taught law and political sciences at university level.
The importance of the Faculty in Hungarian public life has remained prominent. Nearly 5000 students pursue their studies at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences.
The greatest of our Hungarian jurists have taught here, and a great number of alumnihave gained high reputation in the field of law.
The Hungarian Accreditation Committee qualified the full-time legal education and training as "excellent" in 2000.
