Step 1
To obtain the status of a lawyer, take a qualification examination, which is organized by the council of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers.

Successful passing of the qualification exam is followed by an oath. In case of failure, the examination procedure can be repeated only after a year.
Step 2
After assigning you the status of a lawyer, receive a certificate. The qualification commission will notify the territorial body of justice of the examination result within seven days. The latter will enter information about you as a lawyer in the regional register and issue a certificate confirming your status and containing the last name, first name, patronymic, registration number in the register.
Step 3
Having received the certificate, within 6 months notify the council of the bar association about the establishment of the cabinet.
