Individual work with a tutor
Law students receive support from a dedicated tutor who helps them choose the right educational path, tailored to their individual interests, needs and career plans. The practical training programme, contact with the best lawyers in the country and individual work with a tutor help students significantly to prepare for their apprenticeship examinations.
Professional development with the Student Legal Services
Our students start gaining experience already during their studies, among others by working with the Students Legal Services where they provide legal advice to people whose financial situation excludes them from being able to use the help of a lawyer or legal counsel. Young law students help to interpret the client's legal situation on the basis of applicable regulations, they analyze contracts and draft procedural documents. The Student Legal Services work free of charge. The work takes place under the supervision of mentors - holders of Ph.D. degrees in law, active attorneys and legal counsel.
