Which universities educate lawyers best? The Ministry of Justice published new data
The Polish Ministry of Justice released new data analyzing the performance of law faculties in the entrance exams for legal applications.
The Polish Ministry of Justice has published an analysis of the results from the entrance exams for legal training that took place on September 27, 2025, during the sixteenth edition of the conference with Deans of both public and private law faculties. This annual report, prepared by the Department of Legal Professions, has been in circulation since 2008 and provides a detailed analysis of exam results for various legal applications including advocacy, legal advisory, notary, and enforcement. The study serves as a valuable resource to statistically assess the quality of preparation provided by universities for these entrance exams.
Among the findings, graduates from Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Gdańsk University, and the University of Warsaw performed the best on these legal entrance exams. The Ministry of Justice highlights the importance of this analysis, emphasizing its role in evaluating the educational standards of law faculties. With law being a crucial profession in Poland's legal system, the performance of upcoming lawyers in these exams is a matter of significant import for the future of the legal profession in the country.
As each year brings fresh data, legal education institutions are compelled to reflect on their curricula and training methods to ensure they adequately equip students for these challenging exams. As such, this analysis not only reveals the effectiveness of various educational programs but also sets standards for future legal education in Poland, potentially influencing students' choices on which law school to attend based on measurable success rates in the bar exams.
