see below Explanation: A "Referendar" is the American equivalent of a law clerk. The "Referendar" passed his/her "Erstes Staatsexamen" and has now to work for an additional two years for a law firm or sim. institution in order to take his "Zweites Staatsexamen" (equ. to Bar Exam). Only after that can he be in practice for himself etc. A "Referendar" is therefore NOT a law school graduate as yet. |

articling Explanation: This is the most common term in the US. A typical thing to hear about someone is "He finished in law at University of _ and is now articling with a law firm in Boston." Now law terms are very different in the UK and this is probably not what they say there. |
