German Courts Advance Judicial Training and Municipal Collaboration

The President of the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Zweibrücken, Bernhard Thurn, presented certificates to four candidates who completed a 20‑month bailiff training programme. The graduates, aged 27‑36, will now serve independently in the bailiff offices of the Ludwigshafen, Speyer and Germersheim courts.

In a separate event, twelve law referendars from the Landgericht Rottweil visited the Rottweil town hall, meeting President Florian Diekmann, training director Judge Hakenbeck‑Rottner and Mayor Dr. Christian Ruf. The visit highlighted how municipal decisions on infrastructure, urban development and public services intersect with legal practice, emphasizing the importance of practical training for future jurists.
