The traineeship starts with comprehensive orientation to legal research, which gives you the confidence to take on all kinds of tasks and provides you with essential guidance for your future career as a lawyer. In the Knowledge Management team, we work with concrete, challenging, and genuinely interesting research tasks that develop both legal knowledge and general working skills, from time management to teamwork. Working as a KM-Trainee is flexible, as shown by the fact that we plan and agree on our work shifts with each other. This makes planning of both studies and spare time easier. The most rewarding part of the traineeship is to see your own development as well as the development of your team, and to apply the skills you have acquired during your studies to solving legal problems. At the library, we genuinely work together as a team, which means that our team spirit is one of a kind and it’s always pleasant to come to work! Dittmar’s working atmosphere is warm and encouraging – new colleagues are welcomed with open arms to our community!”

Success in the KM Trainee position requires energetic and diligent approach to work, good learning abilities and basic knowledge of different areas of law and the sources of law (2-3 years of law studies).
