The bar qualification examination is now a national judicial examination. The national judicial examination was held in March 2002. It combines the three examinations of "lawyer qualification examination", "first-time judge qualification examination" and "first-time prosecutor qualification examination" into one, and cancels the above three independent examinations that have been popular for a long time. Bachelor degree or above can sign up for the exam. In addition, this exam does not stipulate the nature and specialty of the applicants.
