As part of the Europe-wide tendering procedure for the implementation of an electronic examination for the second state examination in law (second state examination in law) in Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe-based computermiete.de GmbH & Co. KG from Karlsruhe was awarded the contract for the provision of the necessary hardware and the installation of the technical infrastructure at the individual examination locations. UNIwise ApS from Aarhus in Denmark was awarded the contract to provide the examination software.
Every year, around 1,200 trainee lawyers in Baden-Württemberg take the Second State Examination in Law, which consists of a total of eight five-hour written exams in the areas of civil law, public law and criminal law. The exams are currently still written by hand, but from December 2024, trainee lawyers in Baden-Württemberg will be able to take the exams using the WISEflow examination platform from UNIwise on laptops and with technical infrastructure from computermiete.de.
Jens Rippberger, Managing Director of computermiete.de GmbH & Co. KG, said: "We are delighted to be able to support Baden-Württemberg in this important step in its digitalization strategy. In providing around 600 laptops for each examination campaign and operating the technical infrastructure at the examination locations, we are building on our many years of experience in providing IT equipment and technical support for major events. The future clearly belongs to digital examination concepts."
Marion Gentges, Minister of Justice and Migration, said: "We will have a future-proof, electronic exam format so that the legal degree also corresponds to the digital reality of the lives and careers of future fully qualified lawyers. Pages of handwritten explanations are no longer up to date as an examination format. The way is now clear for the electronic examination in the second state examination in law."
computermiete.de GmbH & Co. KG has developed into a leading supplier of IT equipment and technical support for major events since it was founded in 1985. Every year, several hundred events throughout Europe are equipped with laptops, PCs, large-format displays up to 98 inches, LED screens, printers, beamers and screens by corporate customers and public authorities.
