Prussia
In Prussia, the auscultator was the first stage of three-stage training in the judiciary after university. After an auscultator examination ( examen pro auscultatura ), the examined candidate was admitted as an auscultator for office work in the administration of justice. At the end of the first level of training, there was the legal trainee examination to be admitted as a court trainee .
The auscultature was founded during the administrative reforms of the 1720s in association with the war and domain chambers , abolished in 1869 with the law on legal examinations and preparation for the higher judicial service of May 6, 1869 and merged with the legal clerkship. The law changed the provisions of §§ 1ff. Title IV, Part III of the General Court Regulations for the Prussian States . The auscultator was not paid .
