Attorney at the Reichsgericht
The legal profession at the Reichsgericht were lawyers who were only admitted to the Reichsgericht from 1879–1945 .
1879-1945
In principle, only specially licensed lawyers could appear before the Reichsgericht in civil matters . According to § 99 RAO 1878 lawyers were admitted by the presidium of the Reichsgericht at their discretion. For this purpose, an opinion was obtained from the President of the Higher Regional Court and the relevant Board of Directors of the Bar Association and the Bar Association of the Reich Court heard. The lawyers had their own bar association in the Supreme Court. They occupied the legal positions of the Court of Honor at the Reich Court.
In the draft of the GVG , Title XIa still provided that a legal profession had previously been practiced for at least 5 years and that there was a right to admission by the President of the Reich Court. In the subsequent draft of the RAO, the regulations on the Reich court lawyer found their place. Here the draft provided for approval by the Reich Chancellor. Windthorst (center) was against approval by the Reich Chancellor. The plenum of the ROHG has meanwhile provided an expert opinion in which the singular approval was requested. Finally the 5 years of work were canceled and the approval by the Presidium was seen as the “lesser evil”, since Bismarck sought rapprochement with the center after the end of the Kulturkampf in 1878.
The number of lawyers was not limited by a numerus clausus. There were between 20 and 28 licensed attorneys at the same time. In 1914, on average, each of the 22 lawyers had to deal with 290 cases a year. A written reply to the revision was not customary.
