Legal Counselling Service

To the extent permitted by the German Legal Services Act (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz) the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau offers a Legal Counselling Service for students. In case of legal questions, regarding the interaction with public authorities or other problems, the Legal Counselling Service provides information and advice in terms of legal proceedings and possible legal steps.

Counselling sessions can be held in German or English. All counselling session underlie professional discretion and will be treated as strictly confidential. Here you can find our Data Protection Notice of Legal Counselling Service (pdf, 42 kB).

From 07.07. up to and including 21.07.2025 no office hours!

Unfortunately, legal advice cannot be offered in the period from 07.07.2025 up to and including 21.07.2025.

If urgent advice is required during the legal advisor's vacation, the student legal advice service of the Studentenwerk Dresden can also be used. Please contact them independently as follows: www.studentenwerk-dresden.de/soziales/rechtsberatung.html.

You can also contact any freely practicing lawyer after making an appointment and (assuming social need, which will be checked) with a counseling aid certificate, which you can obtain from the district court of your place of residence.
