Justice Service Opportunities in North Rhine-Westphalia: Training and Entry Information
On Thursday, January 16th, at 4:00 PM, an event focusing on entry opportunities and training contents in the middle and higher levels of the justice service in North Rhine-Westphalia will take place at the Biz Solingen.
The event will feature presentations by the advisory centre for recruitment in the justice service, showcasing various trainings and dual studies available in these service levels. Over 230 new recruits were hired last year, and a similar number is being sought this year.
For those interested in the justice service, two main levels are available: the middle level and the higher level.
Middle Level (Mittlerer Dienst)
Entry into the middle level is typically via a vocational service or apprenticeship track focused on administrative and enforcement tasks within courts and correctional facilities. The training includes introduction to the legal system and justice administration, procedures and regulations relevant to courts and correctional institutions, practical training in prison management, enforcement of sentences, and supervision of inmates, and administrative tasks related to case processing and documentation.
Applicants usually require a secondary school leaving certificate or equivalent vocational qualification, German nationality or eligibility to work in Germany, and physical and mental fitness for correctional service duties.
Higher Level (Gehobener Dienst)
Entry into the higher level usually requires university-level education, aiming at more specialized positions such as judicial administration, legal clerks, or probation officers. The training encompasses in-depth legal studies aligned with public law, criminal law, and procedural law, practical internships or apprenticeships in courts, prosecution offices, or correctional institutions, development of management, organizational, and communication skills necessary for leadership roles, and preparation for judicial or specialized administrative functions.
Applicants typically need a university degree in law (Diplom-Jurist or equivalent) or a comparable qualification recognized by the state, successful completion of a state examination or a similar qualifying law degree, and fitness to perform judicial or administrative duties with reliability and integrity.
The training is often conducted through a state-run justice academy or similar training institution, combining theoretical and practical phases. The goal is to prepare candidates for handling the complex legal and administrative tasks inherent to the justice system in North Rhine-Westphalia.
After the presentation, participants can ask questions. For more information about the event, contact the advisory service for recruiting new talent for the justice system at 0202 / 9457 - 2020 or [email protected].
Diplom-Verwaltungswirte play a crucial role in the justice system, shaping the accommodation, supply, care, and work of inmates. They are active in all areas of a prison and take care of the organization of the entire administration and the business processes in the institution.

Training to become a civil servant in the general prison service, workshop service, or nursing service is possible from a minimum age of 20 and lasts two years. Theory and practice alternate regularly during the training.
The professions to be presented include the general prison service, workshop service, nursing service, and study to become a diploma administrative officer. The university for the dual study is located in Bad Münstereifel.
