Varatuomari (lit. "vice-judge", Swedish: vicehäradshövding) or Master in Law with court training[1] or trained on the bench is a Finnish legal title. The degree consists of a master's degree in law and one year of court training as a Trainee District Judge in a district court, usually done very soon after graduation. The title is granted by the local appeals court, on a recommendation of the chief judge (laamanni). Thus, it can be considered a specially regulated legal externship. Officially, the degree is no longer a formal requirement to any state office, but it remains a de facto requirement for applying into the positions of a judge or a prosecutor, and is usually held also by defense attorneys. It is recognized as a relevant master's degree for purposes of police officer promotions.
