The Federal Administrative Court admitted the plaintiff's revision and granted legal aid, ruling that the issue possesses fundamental significance under § 132(2)(1) VwGO. The dispute concerned the passing requirements for university core area examinations (Schwerpunktbereichsprüfungen) in the context of the First State Judicial Examination, specifically challenging the conformity of these examination rules with constitutional standards.
