Judicial Review of Bar Exam Grading Discretion

An appellant challenged the repeated failure of the written bar examination in administrative and public law, seeking re-evaluation or a new assessment. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, asserting that it lacks the authority for a substantive review (Ermessenskontrolle) of examination grades, as its jurisdiction is limited to verifying adherence to formal examination procedures and ensuring the grading was not arbitrary or based on improper considerations. The court reasoned that the examination commission performs a comprehensive assessment where individual performance metrics do not dictate a mathematical outcome, and the appellant merely substituted his opinion for that of the expert commission, failing to demonstrate any qualified abuse of discretion.
