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.
