Turkish Legal system is Continental- European Law system, so the basis of the system is Roman Law.

One thing to be clarified is that het university education differs from that of many other countries like US. People go to university after 3 (or 4) years of high education. As you may know in US people go to uni. after college.

The king of the court is the judge. He/she gives the verdict. There is no jury in our system. Attorney's may do their submissions orally but the process heavily depends on the written procedure. lawyers can not not examine the witness or the accused directly. Such an option is provided under the Penal Code, but the questions are addressed via judge ( Recent amendtments in the penal code may have brought some change on that issue).

The exam at the end of the internship period is the same of that in America. During the internship period a lawyer has to spend six months in the court (attending to the hearings, do file studies) and six months with an attorney who has five years of experience.

Hope this helps some,
