Free legal assistance provided by the state

What

In the Czech Republic, the state provides pro bono legal aid for adults only in criminal proceedings. However, unified legislation, unlike other EU countries, is lacking in civil and administrative procedures. Some lawyers provide these services, but an overview of these lawyers is not available, and it is best to contact the law firm directly.

In the case of prosecutions allocates pro bono legal aid (lawyer ex officio) the court. For civilian and administrative management, this assistance from the state in the Czech Republic does not exist, but you can apply for advice from The Czech Bar Association (Česká advokátní komora). State pro bono legal aid in the area of child protection is provided by the local authorities (Městské úřady a Úřady městských částí).

Where

Each court, The Czech Bar Association (Česká advokátní komora) and the authorities of child protection (orgány sociálně právní ochrany – OSPOD) at municipalities. In the case of criminal proceedings, it depends on the court. They are in the Czech Republic in each district city.
