Jura Intensive

What Jura Intensive does

Jura Intensiv is a German private legal examination preparation (Repetitorium) company, founded in 1989 and operating through a franchise network of 20+ locations across Germany plus live online delivery via Zoom. It targets two specific student cohorts: university law students preparing for the First State Examination (1. Staatsexamen / Erste Prüfung) and law graduates in their Referendariat preparing for the Second State Examination (2. Staatsexamen / Assessorkurs). The company claims to have trained more than 35,000 jurists since inception and reports documented above-average exam outcomes, including occasional state-best results.

Its core product is the annual Examenskurs — a year-long intensive course covering civil law, criminal law, and public law, bundled with 28 proprietary scripts (exceeding 4,000 pages), an integrated exam-paper track (Klausurenkurs) with personal corrections, and a monthly Rechtsprechungsauswertung (RA) journal whose exam-relevant court-decision hit rate is described as consistently double-digit. Supporting technology includes the JI Lernwelt learning portal (PDFs, interactive exercises, audio, video), the searchable RA-Archiv case-law database, state-specific (Landesspezifische) public-law materials for each federal state, and mobile digital products. Live instruction (in-person or webinar) is emphasized over pre-recorded video.

The business model combines monthly subscription pricing for the core courses (€135-€185/month for the Examenskurs; €120-€165/month for Assessorkurs), one-time fees for Crashkurse (€89-€459), hourly Individualunterricht, and direct-to-consumer publishing revenue through the Jura Intensiv Verlags UG & Co. KG subsidiary, which sells scripts, flashcards, RA journal subscriptions, and digital products via verlag.jura-intensiv.de. Go-to-market is franchise-driven (with a centralized franchisor entity, Jura Intensiv Repetitorium UG haftungsbeschränkt & Co. KG, headquartered in Frankfurt) combined with info events, trial-listening sessions, university flyers, and word-of-mouth. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with 11-50 HQ employees alongside the franchise network.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Karriereführer / JurCareer: German legal career platform already partnering with Jura Intensiv since 1999 for the nationwide 'Jura-Hausarbeiten und Klausurensammlung' (5,000+ papers). While more career-oriented, it touches the same student audience and adjacent content categories.

Direct peers

• Juracademy: Online-first German legal exam preparation platform offering courses for the 1. Staatsexamen. Competes with Jura Intensiv's online (Zoom) channel for digital-native law students who prefer flexible remote learning over in-person attendance.
• IURIS Repetitorium: German legal exam preparation provider covering civil, criminal, and public law for the Staatsexamen. Comparable in product scope and target market to Jura Intensiv.
• Alpmann Schmidt: One of the largest and oldest German Repetitorien offering both in-person and online exam preparation courses for the 1. and 2. Staatsexamen, with a similar franchise/decentralized structure and comparable product mix of courses, scripts, and digital materials. Directly competes for the same German law student cohort.
• Exaprotect: German legal exam prep provider focused on Repetitorium courses and crash courses for the Staatsexamen. Operates in the same niche market with comparable course structures and pricing.
• Hemmer Repetitorium: Established German legal exam preparation provider offering Repetitor courses, scripts, and online tools for the Erste and Zweite Staatsexamen. Targets the same customer base as Jura Intensiv with comparable course structures and pricing.

Broad incumbents

• Nomos Verlag: German academic and legal publisher producing textbooks and study materials used by law students. Overlaps with Jura Intensiv's study materials business (scripts, KOMPAKT, CRASHKURS materials) at the publishing/content layer.
• beck-online / C.H. Beck: Germany's largest legal publisher offering comprehensive legal commentary, handbooks, and digital research tools used by law students alongside Repetitorien materials. While not a direct Repetitorium, the company sells textbooks and reference works that Jura Intensiv explicitly competes with by offering 'all-inclusive' scripts that replace external bookshop purchases.
• Otto Schmidt Verlag: Major German legal publisher producing professional literature and exam preparation content. Represents a broader incumbent in the legal publishing space that Jura Intensiv's in-house publishing arm (Jura Intensiv Verlag) competes against for script and study material sales.

Emerging players

• StudyDrive / StudySmarter: Digital learning platform offering student-created flashcards, summaries, and AI-driven study tools across German university subjects including law. Represents the emerging digital-native category that could substitute or complement traditional Repetitorien offerings like Jura Intensiv's JI Lernwelt and Karteikarten.
