To become a sworn advocate, a person, who has an appropriate education and work experience, passes the advocate’s exam. After the passing of the exam, if the Council of Sworn Advocates hasn’t received information that there are obstacles stated in the Law on Advocacy for admission of the new candidate, it admits a candidate to the community of sworn advocates. In accordance with Section 46 of the Law on Advocacy the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court accepts the oath of newly admitted sworn advocates.
