The first students from three Slovak universities are already interning at the Chancellery of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic

On the basis of the signed memorandums, the Chancellery provides students of the faculties concerned with the opportunity to undergo a free internship at the Analytical Department. During the internship, the interns participate in the monitoring of the adopted Slovak legislation, preparation of case-law reviews of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, translations of court decisions or other documents, as well as perform partial tasks in the preparation of international questionnaires and research and legal analyses.

“It is a pleasure for us that less than three months ago, memorandums were signed with the deans of the three law faculties, and today we have their first students who have signed up for internships. I hope that the students who have come to us will like it and that after their internship they will be enriched with knowledge and so will be the rest of us who will work with them,” said the President of the Court Pavol Naď, who added that he was pleased with the connection between the academic environment and the local Court and its Chancellery.

“For me, it was important for the launch of the internships that we have the related material and technical equipment for the students in the first place. At the moment it is a pilot project, and in the future, we plan to sign memorandums of mutual cooperation with all law faculties operating in Slovakia,” said Zuzana Kyjac, head of the Chancellery.

“I am sincerely pleased that since October we have eight interns in the Analytical Department. We have prepared various types of tasks for them, where they will have the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and gain new practical experience. I believe that this cooperation will be enriching for both sides,” said Jarmila Jendrušáková, Head of the Analytical Department, noting that she was positively surprised by the relatively high interest in the internship on the part of the students.
