The Special Judicial Training Program

Svea Court of Appeal is the largest court of appeal in the country, with approximately 460 employees. The court's premises are beautifully located on Riddarholmen in central Stockholm. The court employs approximately 50 court registrars (hovrättsfiskaler) each year. Consequently, several applicants are admitted at each recruitment cycle. Becoming a court registrar is the step following the notary internship. The judicial training program includes service at both the Court of Appeal and the District Court.

About the Judicial Training Program

The judicial training program consists partly of practical service in the District Court and the Court of Appeal, and partly of theoretical education arranged by the Judicial Academy. It can be likened to a trainee program, and the practical service constitutes a very important part of the education. In addition to the common courses within the framework of the Judicial Academy, the Court of Appeal and the District Courts provide certain additional training. The Court of Appeal has overall responsibility for the judicial training program throughout the entire training period.

The practical part of the training includes service as a court registrar in the Court of Appeal for at least one year, as a court registrar in the District Court for at least two years, and as an adjunct judge in the Court of Appeal for one year. The court registrar/provisional assessor constitutes a significant workforce for the court throughout the entire judicial training program. The court registrar's/provisional assessor's work should be planned so that the tasks contribute to achieving the goals of the judicial training program. The Judicial Academy is responsible for the theoretical education, which consists of nine mandatory courses during the judicial training program.

The judicial training program offers a unique opportunity to acquire extensive legal knowledge and experience from different courts. Choosing the judicial path means that you will daily contribute to a democratic and legally secure society where you work for everyone's right to have their case heard by an impartial court.
