Validated electronic signature (idCAT or equivalent) is needed to enrol the subject.

The cancellation of the registration of the subject Practices in Judicial Offices will only be allowed in the period enabled for the modification of registration of the first semester, since already during the month of October or November the students enrolled will be summoned to a meeting with the academic tutor. In this meeting groups of four students will be formed. Each group will carry out the 50 hours of practices with the same judicial mentor. The formation of the groups of students can be done motu proprio by four students enrolled who choose to carry out the 50 hours of practices together. However, it is recommended to handle, where appropriate, other criteria that will be raised at the meeting, such as: the jurisdiction of preference (civil, criminal, contentious-administrative or labour), the judicial destination (in a specific court, with a public prosecutor...) or the town in which they wish to realise the practices (usually, Sabadell, Terrassa or Cerdanyola del Vallès). Should such an agreement not be reached, the formation of the groups will be based on the average grade of the students' file.

The preferences shown by each group in terms of judicial destination and location are transferred to the Center for Legal Studies and Specialised Training of the Generalitat. This Center will finally -taking into account the Judges, Public Prosecutors and others who have enrolled themselves in the programme opened by the Generalitat- assign the destination and the judicial mentor to each group before Christmas holidays.

The practices in Judicial Offices usually will be in the morning. The concrete calendar and schedule of the 50 hours of practices in Judicial Office will normally be agreed at the initial meeting of each group with its judicial mentor. In the last courses these practices have taken place within the first four months of the year (January-April). However, the deadline of the completion of the 50 hours of practices is set by the Center for Legal Studies and Specialised Training of the Generalitat (and not by the Faculty of Law) each academic year.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The grade obtained by the student in the subject is the result of weighing the assessment made by the judicial mentor (70%) and the final report (30%) that must be handed in to the academic tutor of the practices and made an oral defense, both necessary to be able to pass the subject. The date and place of handing in and exposing the final report will be announced during the course.

In the final report, the student will have to include: a) a detailed description of the tasks and work carried out; b) an assessment of the tasks carried out with the skills acquired in relation to the Degree in Law; c) a list of the problems raised and the procedure followed to resolve them; d) the main contributions that, in terms of learning, these hours of practices have entailed; e) the final assessment of the practices.

Failure to submit and defend the final report within the specified period will result in the grade "Not Presented".

This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.

IMPORTANT: If a student copies, plagiarises or is caught with a prohibited device during an assessment activity, this assessment activity will receive a grade of 0, and the Dean's Office will be notified by submitting a report detailing the circumstances and evidence of the incident. This report will be used to request the initiation of possible disciplinary proceedings against the student. This assessment activity will not be eligible for retake. If further irregularities occur during assessment activities for the same course, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

In the final report the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks (such as information research, language tools or translations). The student must clearly identify the parts that have been generated with such technology, specify the tools used and include a critical thinking about how these tools have influenced the process and the result of the final report. Non-transparency in the use of AI in the assessable activities of the subject will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or to more serious penalties in certain cases.
