Egzamin Notarialny case studies

Egzamin notarialny is the professional examination that candidates in Poland must pass to be entered on the list of notaries and to practise as a notary. It is aimed at graduates of law who have completed the required notarial apprenticeship (aplikacja notarialna) or otherwise meet the statutory eligibility conditions, and it is graded by an examination committee appointed under the Law on Notaries. The examination tests the full range of a notary's work: substantive civil law, civil and land-register procedure, family, guardianship and inheritance law, commercial and company law, real property and mortgage regulation, the law governing notarial acts and the notarial profession, administrative and tax aspects of notarial practice, professional ethics and liability, and above all the practical drafting of deeds, contracts, corporate documents, protests and certificates. The written format is open-book, so success depends less on memorising statutes than on locating provisions quickly, applying them accurately and producing a correct, well-reasoned document. The Egzamin Notarialny case studies are 5 cases and about 4,344 words.
