General Information

The Studierendenwerk offers students free legal counselling within the scope of its tasks and responsibilities. Depending on the area of law and the issue at hand, the counselling can serve as orientation on legal options or as assistance in finding a suitable point of contact. The advice does not include representation or the drafting of written pleadings.

If you require legal representation or would like to instruct a lawyer to draft a letter, you have the option of applying for counselling assistance (Beratungshilfe) in order to exercise your rights. The local court of your place of residence is usually responsible for applying for counselling assistance. Application forms and further information on counselling assistance can be found on the websites of the local courts.
