Summary for: Czech law students to offer free legal advice in Prague: How to bookA free legal counseling service has returned to central Prague this month, offering residents basic guidance on issues ranging from rental agreements and workplace disputes to debt proceedings and wills.
The student-run clinic, organized by Prague City Hall in cooperation with Charles University’s Faculty of Law, will operate twice weekly at Škoda Palace during the university’s winter and spring semesters.
Appointments are required and can be booked through Prague’s public information line. The city has not specified which languages will be available, so non-Czech speakers should ask about language options when making a reservation.
When and where consultations are available
The clinic will operate at Škoda Palace, Jungmannova 35/29, Prague 1, at counter No. 7 on the ground floor.
Winter-semester consultations will run from Oct. 5 through Dec. 16, 2026, before resuming for the spring semester from Feb. 15 through May 19, 2027.
Key details include:
- Days: Mondays and Wednesdays
- Hours: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Cost: Free
- Booking: Advance reservation required
- Telephone: 800 100 000
The booking line operates Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Visitors should bring all contracts, correspondence, court documents and other materials connected to the issue they wish to discuss.
What the clinic can—and cannot—do
The clinic can help people understand their legal position and identify possible next steps in common situations, including:
- Employment disputes
- Residential leases and rental agreements
- Neighbor disputes
- Drafting or arranging a will
- Debt enforcement proceedings
- Insolvency cases
Advice is provided by advanced law students completing professional practice under the supervision of an experienced lawyer.
The service is intended to offer basic legal orientation rather than full representation. Students will not prepare written court submissions or contracts, and the clinic does not replace the services of an attorney or notary.
Visitors whose cases require formal representation or specialist work may therefore be advised to contact a qualified legal professional.
Prague’s student legal clinic has operated since late 2014 under an agreement between City Hall and Charles University. Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda said the arrangement helps residents navigate difficult legal questions while giving future lawyers practical experience.
