LEGAL CAPACITY
Objectives
The Capacité in Law program is designed to provide students with the legal knowledge necessary to pursue various legal and paralegal professions.
The Capacité degree also qualifies graduates to take certain civil service exams for Category B positions.
Earning the Certificate of Competence, with an average score of 10 out of 20, allows students to apply through Parcoursup to enter the first year of the Bachelor’s degree program in Law.
Students who have earned a 15 average over the two years may enroll in the second year of the Bachelor’s degree program in Law.
Organization
Knowledge Assessment
Only eligibility from the first session may be carried over to the second session. Any score of 12 or higher on the written exams from the first session is carried over to the second session, unless the candidate notifies the Registrar’s Office in writing to the contrary within 8 days of the announcement of the results.
Candidates who were deferred in the first session following the oral exams will be tested in the second session only in those subjects in which they received a score below 12/20. The minimum score of 12/20 is retained only if the student has taken all the oral exams.
Any student may waive this provision and retake the exam.
Students pursuing the Certificate of Competence in Law must register twice a year.
The dates, times, and locations of the exams (written and oral) are posted for students’ information.
For each written exam, candidates are given three theoretical topics.
They must answer two of them.
Only candidates who have achieved the passing grade on the written exams are authorized to take the oral exams.
Admission or deferral is decided following deliberation by the examination committee.
No appeals against these decisions will be accepted.
No one may register for the second year unless they have successfully passed the first-year exam.
The Certificate of Proficiency in Law is awarded upon successful completion of the second exam.
