Letter of Recommendation
"Herr ZZZ ist als junger deutscher Jurist bestens ausgewiesen."
This is the very first sentence in an "Empfehlungsschreiben" written by a Professor at a German Law School (faculty of a university).
For some reason, this sentence just seems weird to me. But it may just be me getting back into it after a long weekend (not one of my usual problems). I'd also take suggestions for the entire sentence. ;-)
Thank you for your help! :-)

with the best qualifications?
Yes, I find it a bit weird too. I think I take it to mean "he's very good and he's got the paperwork to prove it", which is why I tentatively suggest "a young German law student with the best qualifications" (or maybe "a very ably qualified young German law student"). However, it may be that we are supposed to see it in more general terms than specific exam results, so it might be safer to say something like "... who has proved himself to be among the best".

acquitted
"Mr. ZZZ has acquitted himself most ably as a young German lawyer." This seems a good direct translation. You might also try
"As a young German lawyer, Mr. ZZZ comes most highly recommended." or some variation of the two.

Another translation of *ausgewiesen* is account. So, you could also try "Mr. ZZZ has given an excellent account of himself as a young German lawyer." It seems the permutations are endless!

perfectly qualified
That's what it means. "ausgewiesen" is pretty old-fashioned.

has proven himself
has proven/shown himself to be a very promising young lawyer.
Could this be it? He displays all the qualities necessary for him to go on to have a great career in law? I agree it is worded a bit strangely, but I think this would make sense in the context.

s.u.
Mr. X has shown exceptional ability and competence in the field of law.
I find it best to take a bit of liberty when translating references and the like. I don't see any need to translate the 'German' part. Those he's applying to know he's German.

This person is not a German lawyer (yet). ;-)
