On 25 April 2016, Nasser MERABET passed a formal examination to become certified as a specialist lawyer in Trade Law, Business Law & Competition Law.
In France, lawyers are allowed to take this specialty examination only if they meet objective criteria related to the duration (at least 4 years of experience) and focus (experience gained must be in the subject field covered by the exam taken) of their professional practice.
The specialty exam consists in a 1-hour interview where the examination board, which includes four law practitioners in activity, assesses the applicant’s skills and experience, then awards a grade out of twenty to the applicant.
Examination Board members are appointed by the President of the French National Bar Council (CNB) and must in any case include: two lawyers who hold the specialty certificate sought by the examinee; one law professor active in the subject field covered by said certificate; and one judge to an ordinary court or one member of an administrative court or an administrative court of appeal.
