German term or phrase: anwaltliche und parteiliche Bearbeitung von Sachverhalten
This is a website of a law faculty at a German uni.

Moot Courts sind Gerichtsspielwettbewerbe, in denen Studierende in Teams als "Anwälte" in einem simulierten Gerichtsverfahren fungieren. Wie im „wahren Leben“ tauschen sie ihre Auffassungen zunächst in Form von Schriftsätzen, später dann auch in mündlichen Verhandlungen aus. Anders als im juristischen Studium müssen die Studierenden aber zunächst den Sachverhalt ermitteln. Lediglich der bisher geführte Schriftverkehr der Parteien steht ihnen zur Verfügung. Insofern muss sondiert, verglichen und geschlussfolgert werden. Die Teams üben damit erstmals die *anwaltliche und parteiliche* Bearbeitung von Sachverhalten - eine Schlüsselqualifikation, die die meisten Juristen erst im Referendariat erwerben.

I am pretty stumped here. I can't find any useful sources in German let alone translations in dictionaries that would tie both adjectives together convincingly.

I imagine "anwaltliche" relates to legal practice / acting as a lawyer, but the definitions of "parteilich" state "partisan" which doesn't fit.

handling legal issues as a lawyer for the client's benefit
Explanation:
As far as I know (and I used to work in a German semi-legal environment for 6 years), anwaltlich means in the lawyer's role, i.e. using the knowledge of the law and legal procedures and parteilich means for the benefit of oneparty, i.e. the client.

neutral  philgoddard: I assume parteilich means "concerning the parties".

  -> Perhaps it does. But I would find that very confusing..

lawyer-like and client-focus(s)ed attention to the facts of the case


Explanation:
A slightly revised version changing 'engagement with' to 'attention to' in case there are well-considered stylistic objections.

I think partisan does make sense in the context, namely tilting the case in the client's favour.

BTW, the legal educational template looks lifted. This model used - at University undergrad level, it seems - rang loud British legal practice bells in general and Oz ones in particular.

The only difference is that Aussie judges are in 'on the pracice case' to review the pleadings and legal or counsel's opinions and correspondence drafted. Even then, there may be an overlap. There are indeed retired German judges teaching at German University law faculties.
