Abstract
This research concerns the observation of the professional activities that aspiring magistrates undertake during their traineeship in the Court of Lecce. The main part of the research involved the assistance of two informants: an expert magistrate responsible for the initial training, and a novice. This double vision of the professional culture of Italian magistrates demonstrates, on the one hand, the perspective of the competent person teaching the novices salient aspects of the job, thereby creating a synthesis between common-sense knowledge and professional knowledge, and, on the other hand, the perspective of the novice who learns the rudiments of law, namely the methods by which experts organize knowledge and judge the social world within these legal categories. Many aspiring magistrates subsequently construct and experiment with their own professional identities during the traineeship, thereby forming concepts and notions about the world of justice and particular legal activities.
