Iran Judgeship Exam (Ghazavvat) study guide

The Iranian judgeship examination (آزمون قضاوت) is the selection process through which law graduates in Iran seek appointment to the judiciary. It is administered under the authority of the judiciary, and candidates should treat the official announcements of the judiciary and the relevant selection body as the only authoritative source for dates, eligibility, quotas, and results. The credential it leads to is judicial office itself: successful candidates proceed to training and appointment rather than receiving a purely academic certificate. The exam is aimed at candidates with a solid grounding in Iranian statutory law and in the Ja'fari legal tradition that underpins it, and it rewards those who can reason from statute and jurisprudence rather than merely recall definitions. Topics on this exam: Civil Law (حقوق مدنی), Civil Procedure (آیین دادرسی مدنی), Criminal Law (حقوق جزای عمومی و اختصاصی), Criminal Procedure (آیین دادرسی کیفری), Commercial Law (حقوق تجارت), Evidence Law (ادله اثبات دعوی), Family Law (حقوق خانواده), Islamic Jurisprudence - Civil and Criminal (فقه مدنی و جزایی), Constitutional and Administrative Law (حقوق اساسی و اداری), and Legal Ethics and Judicial Conduct (اخلاق حرفه‌ای قضایی). The Iran Judgeship Exam (Ghazavvat) study guide has 10 sections and about 2,919 words.
