"Judiciary of the Neue Deutsche Reich"@en . "90"^^ . "The judiciary of Germany is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law in the New German Reich. The German legal system is a civil law based on a comprehensive compendium of statutes, as compared to the common law systems. Germany uses an inquisitorial system where the judges are actively involved in investigating the facts of the case, as compared to an adversarial system where the role of the judge is primarily that of an impartial referee between the prosecutor and the defendant. The independence of the judiciary of Germany is historically older than democracy. The organisation of courts is traditionally strong, and almost all state actions are subject to judicial review. Judges follow a distinct career path. At the end of their legal education at university, all law students must pass a state examination before they can continue on to an apprenticeship that provides them with broad training in the legal profession over two years. They then must pass a second state examination that qualifies them to practice law. At that point, the individual can choose either to be a lawyer or to enter the judiciary. Judicial candidates start working at courts immediately, however they are subjected to a probationary period of up to five years before being appointed as judges for lifetime. The judicial system is established and governed by Article 8 of the Constitution. Article 8 states that \"judicial power shall be exercised by independent courts, subject only to law; Judgments shall be rendered and executed in the name of the people.\""@en .
