LEGAL CAPACITY
Objectives
The Capacité en Droit (Law) program is designed to provide students with the legal knowledge necessary to pursue various legal and paralegal professions.
The Capacité diploma also grants access to certain civil service competitive examinations for category B jobs.
Obtaining the Certificate of Competence, with an average grade of 10 out of 20, allows students to enter directly into the first year of a Bachelor's degree in Law. Students who have obtained an average grade of 15 over the two years can enroll in the second year of a Bachelor's degree in Law.
Organization
Knowledge assessment
Only eligibility for the first session may be retained for the second session. Any mark equal to or higher than 12 in the written exams of the first session is retained for the second session, unless the candidate notifies the Registrar's Office in writing within eight days of the announcement of the results that they wish to retake the exam.
Candidates who fail the first session at the end of the oral exams are only examined in the second session in the subjects for which they obtained a mark lower than 12/20. The minimum mark of 12/20 is only retained if the student has taken all the oral exams.
Any student may waive this provision and retake the exam.
Applicants for the Certificate of Competence in Law must register twice a year.
The dates, times, and locations of the exams (written and oral) are communicated to students via posted notices.
For each written exam, candidates are given three theoretical topics to choose from.
They must answer two of them.
Only candidates who have obtained an average score on the written exams are allowed to take the oral exams.
Admission or deferral is decided after deliberation by the jury.
No appeal is admissible against these decisions.
No one may enroll for the second time unless they have successfully passed the first-year exam.
The Certificate of Competence in Law is awarded after passing the second exam.
