metadata.value: The process of training lawyers in Japan has certain characteristics. Access to the legal profession
  is due to the demonstration of knowledge, skills and competencies in a special qualifying
  examination. This is a state test aimed at checking the competitor`s knowledge and ability to
  fulfill future duties. Passing the exam is required to obtain the profession of a lawyer, prosecutor
  or judge. In Japan, now applies a newly unified qualification exam, replacing the previous
  version. If earlier anyone could take the previous exam, then under the system of the new
  qualification exam, only those who graduated from Law School were allowed to take it. Such
  Law Schools were created on the basis of law faculties of universities. However, the exam is not the only condition, and the applicant also needs to undergo a special legal internship at the
  institute created under the Supreme Court of Japan. Passing an internship serves the interests
  of the applicant not only because of the addition of his competencies, but also because the bar,
  the prosecutor`s office, and the judiciary are similarly selecting their own cadres. The internship
  includes certain exams that you must pass to complete it. In case of successful completion
  of the legal internship, the applicant is licensed by a lawyer. Despite the apparent harmony of
  the system of training lawyers in Japan, in the modern form, it is not devoid of a number of
  problems. The author as a practicing lawyer perfectly sees the existing issues and therefore
  gives his vision to the system, taking into account the experience of the pre-existing qualification
  exam and the consequences of the new test, and also referring to the peculiarities of the
  legal internship and the experience of the existence of Law Schools.
