From July 1933, Schuster worked in the secondary office and then in the main office in the State Legal Examination Office and was transferred to the Reich Justice Examination Office when it was dissolved in 1935. During the period of the regime he claimed, by making “ a disapproving statement about encroachments on the independence of the judges and having been reported for it ”, he was “ for this reason several years later promoted as my fellow officials who were equally well judged ”. He alluded to the supposed influence of the republican minority in the higher court around Hermann Großmann , Arnold Freymuth and Alfred Orgler . In November 1937 he came to the Reichsgericht as an unskilled worker and was appointed Reichsgerichtsrat on April 1, 1938. He was active in the 2nd Civil Senate .
