State Lawyers Corps

The State Lawyers Corps (Spanish: Cuerpo de Abogados del Estado)[1] is a body of top civil servants in Spain, dependent on the Solicitor General of the State, itself organically integrated (currently) within the Ministry of Justice.

Emblem

It was created in 1881.[2] It is formed by licentiate graduates (later graduates) in Law, who join the body after passing a competitive public examination, considered among the hardest to pass in Spain.[3] Experts in the ins and outs of the Public Administration,[2] and with a valued social network, the State Lawyers are also highly sought in the private sector.[3][2]
