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]
