Hello Raetti
Why do you want to take the bar exam in Sweden? In Sweden any person may practice law, without the need for an authorisation. Besides, any person may call himself a lawyer, irrespective of any law degree. However, there is a professional Bar of lawyers in Sweden: the Swedish Bar Association (Sveriges advo-katsamfund). To become a member of the bar association you have to be domiciled in Sweden or another state within the European Union or Switzerland. You need to have passed all proficiency exams required for a judges of-fice; completed the required practical and theoretical training and have practised for at least five years after having passed the necessary academic examinations.
