Moot Court

We have the winners!

On Friday 17 April 2026, the final of the Insolvency Law Moot Court took place at the Faculty of Law of Charles University in Prague. Three pairs of competitors took part in the simulated court hearing one after another.

The oral final round was won by third-year Prague law students Veronika Havlová and Ondřej Čermák.

According to all teams, the final was demanding. Taking on the role of attorneys in a real insolvency case in front of experienced legal professionals was a real challenge for the students.

The competitors demonstrated their argumentation and analytical skills before an expert jury chaired by JUDr. Hana Homolová, judge of the Municipal Court in Prague.

Attorneys of Felix a spol., Mgr. Jaroslav Tajbr and Mgr. Michaela Prodělalová, took part in preparing the Moot Court and assessing the performances, and acted as counsel for the opposing party in the final.

The three best teams with very balanced performances advanced to the final. The jury praised their thorough preparation and their ability to respond to procedural situations during the hearing. The teams received valuable prizes, which were also presented by David Gala, chairman of the Všehrd association.

The Insolvency Law Moot Court was once again organised by Felix a spol. in cooperation with the Všehrd student association.

What is a Moot Court

A moot court is a special type of competition held in individual areas of law. Students have a unique opportunity to test their knowledge and improve their skills in legal argumentation.

After completing a written assignment, the best student teams advance to the final oral round, where they compete in a simulated court hearing.

Written submissions are assessed and the oral round is always chaired by attorneys of Felix a spol., representatives of the Faculty of Law of Charles University and, where applicable, judges of the Czech Republic.

Felix a spol. always prepares valuable prizes for the winners, including an offer of an internship or a position as a legal assistant or trainee attorney.

All written assignments must be submitted as part of the predefined document, which you can download here: Download the predefined document

The header of every page of the answer must contain (in the fields provided) the team number and the names of its members. Your team number will be sent to you by a Všehrd representative from mootcourt@vsehrd.cz. Page numbers belong in the footer.

The exact dates and times for submitting the written part will be announced by e-mail, which each team receives together with the materials for the assignment.

All procedural submissions and acts must have the form and particulars required by law.

Please observe fair play. We always prepare the moot court on the basis of a real case so that it is as interesting as possible for students and beneficial in terms of practice. If you are selected for the oral round and its date clashes with other commitments so that you cannot attend, please let us know well in advance so that we can call in substitutes for your team and keep the conditions of the competition equal for all other participants.

We would also like to ask you to keep confidential any information you learn from the case. As mentioned above, the case file is real. Please treat the data in the file with respect and legal professionalism. Thank you.

The written part is duly submitted if it is sent by e-mail to mootcourt@vsehrd.cz in .pdf format within the set deadlines, or via the response form by the set date.

Together with the Všehrd Association of Czech Lawyers, we organise Moot Courts in insolvency, criminal and labour law at the Faculty of Law of Charles University in Prague.
