Simultaneous approval
In German law, simultaneous admission denotes the admission of a lawyer to two different courts, namely a regional court and the higher regional court . In contrast, singular admission was understood as the admission of a lawyer only to one court.
With the law to strengthen the self-administration of the legal profession, the localization requirement for lawyers was abolished on June 1, 2007. The only exception was the continued singular approval by the Federal Court of Justice in civil matters ( Section 78 (1) sentence 3 ZPO and Sections 162 et seq. BRAO ). Due to the cancellation of the admission at the individual courts in all other cases, the five-year waiting period before admission to a higher regional court has since become irrelevant. Where there is no longer any need for approval, there is no longer any simultaneous approval.
As a result, every lawyer is able to postulate before every court nationwide from the first day of admission. A lawyer who has already been active in the lower instances can then act as a traffic lawyer in the appeal proceedings.
