A.Capacity to bind oneself, a valid declaration of will, a certain object, and a lawful cause

B.A notarized instrument, two witnesses, delivery, and court approval

C.Moroccan nationality, majority, registration, and publication

D.A written offer, a cash deposit, tax clearance, and administrative authorization

Explanation: Article 2 DOC identifies four essential elements: capacity to bind oneself, a valid declaration of will concerning the essential elements of the obligation, a certain object, and a lawful cause.

2What is fraud (dol) under Article 52 of the Moroccan DOC?

A.Any mistake in calculation, even when immediately corrected

B.Devices or concealment by one party, its representative, or an accomplice that induced the other party to contract when that party otherwise would not have contracted

C.Any later failure to perform a valid contract

D.A difference between the market value and the agreed price, without more

Explanation: Article 52 treats fraudulent devices or concealment as a ground for annulment when they were such that the other party would not have contracted without them.

3Under Article 55 of the Moroccan DOC, what is the general effect of lesion (lésion) on a contract?

A.It automatically nullifies every contract in which the values exchanged differ

B.It always converts the contract into a gift

C.It is not, by itself, a ground for rescission unless accompanied by the other party's fraud, subject to the DOC rules protecting incapable persons

D.It makes the contract criminally punishable whenever the difference exceeds ten percent

Explanation: Article 55 states that lesion alone does not justify rescission; fraud by the other party is generally also required. The article preserves the special rules applicable to incapable persons.

A.A null obligation remains fully enforceable until ten years have elapsed

B.Only obligations involving real property can be null

D.A null obligation produces no effect except restitution of what was unduly received; nullity exists when an essential element is missing or the law expressly provides it

7Which description best matches force majeure under Article 269 of the Moroccan DOC?

A.Any event that makes performance more expensive than expected

B.Any event the debtor knew about before undertaking the obligation

C.An event that could not be foreseen and makes performance impossible, could not be prevented, and is not attributable to the debtor's prior fault

D.A voluntary business decision to redirect resources to a more profitable contract

Explanation: Article 269 centers on an unforeseeable and unavoidable event that makes performance impossible and is not preceded by fault attributable to the debtor.

8Taken together, Articles 357, 361, and 362 of the Moroccan DOC require which conditions for legal set-off (compensation)?

About the Morocco CAPA Avocat Exam

Morocco's Ministry of Justice administers the special examination that grants the Certificat d'aptitude à l'exercice de la profession d'avocat. Law No. 28.08 maintains this route pending implementation of the contemplated training institution. The certificate is one statutory condition for applying to a regional bar's trainee list; bar admission also requires the other conditions in Law No. 28.08.

Exam sponsor: Ministère de la Justice (Morocco). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Article 6 of Law No. 28.08 continues the Ministry of Justice's special certificate examination until the regulatory text for the contemplated training institution enters into force. Under the standing Decree No. 2.81.276, candidates complete three written compositions: general culture/current issues or comparative legislation; a civil or commercial memorandum with civil procedure; and a criminal memorandum with criminal procedure. Candidates who reach the written threshold take two oral exercises: a pleading on personal-status, inheritance, or social matters, and a question on judicial organization, bar organization, advocates' rights and duties, or conditions of practice. A current ministerial decision must be checked for the actual sitting.

Time Limit

Standing decree: 2 hours general culture, 3 hours civil/commercial memorandum, and 2 hours criminal memorandum. Oral preparation is 30 minutes for the pleading and 15 minutes for the professional question; the oral examination is capped at 20 minutes.

Passing Score

Each test is marked 0–20; at least 10/20 written average is required for the oral stage and at least 10/20 overall is required for the certificate

Exam / Certification Fees

Not published in the standing decree; verify the current Ministry sitting notice

Morocco CAPA Avocat: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the current ministerial sitting decision first; do not assume that a prior session's procedures, dates, or registration terms remain in force.

2Practice timed document-based memoranda, not only rule-recall questions: two hours for criminal work and three hours for civil or commercial work under the standing decree.

3Use the current Law No. 58.25 for civil procedure and the current criminal-procedure text as amended by Law No. 03.23; older consolidated codes may now be stale.

4If writing in French, continue building Arabic oral vocabulary because the standing decree requires Arabic for the oral stage.

5Prepare short Arabic pleadings on personal-status, inheritance, and social-law problems and rehearse professional-duty questions under Law No. 28.08.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Morocco advocate aptitude examination currently a real statutory assessment?

Yes. Article 6 of current Law No. 28.08 directs the Ministry of Justice to continue organizing the special certificate examination until the regulatory text for the contemplated training institution takes effect. The Ministry ran written and oral stages in 2022–2023. No 2026 sitting notice was located as of September 23, 2026, so candidates should use the Ministry's current notice rather than assume an annual date.

Is the official examination a 140-question multiple-choice test?

That is not the durable standing format. Decree No. 2.81.276 prescribes three written compositions and two oral exercises. A ministerial decision can set procedures for a particular sitting, so its notice controls that session.

Which languages are used in the official assessment?

Under Decree No. 2.81.276, candidates may complete the written tests in Arabic or French, while the oral tests are conducted in Arabic.

What is the official examination fee?

The standing decree does not publish a candidate fee. Check the current ministerial decision or registration notice; this page does not infer that the official assessment is free.

Does this bank simulate the official assessment?

No. It is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation for selected rules and exam logistics. It is not an official translation or a substitute for Arabic/French memorandum writing, Arabic pleading, or oral performance practice.
