Free advice

Do you have problems with your landlord? Or have you been waiting for your wages from a part-time job for a long time? We are happy to help you with legal issues within our area of responsibility and terms of reference.

The legal advice is provided free of charge. However, we do not offer any legal action to benefit people – i.e. we do not take on any cases or write letters for you.

You may only obtain advice if you present a valid student pass.

Please arrange an appointment on the phone by ringing or per mail:

Legal advice is provided on Tuesdays and Fridays between 9 a.m. and midday.

FAQs

Where is the legal advice available?

Legal advice is available in Fichtenweg 5 (entrance TSW) Tübingen after you have made an appointment.

Is legal advice possible on the phone too?

Generally, legal advice should be provided at a personal appointment. However, students at universities that are farther away can initially clarify matters on the phone. Please arrange a telephone appointment on 07071 / 969716.

Can legal advice be provided by mail?

In our experience, circumstances are best clarified in personal discussions. We therefore do not offer any legal advice by mail.

What do I need to bring to the legal advice appointment?

Your student pass and any necessary documents (e.g. contracts, examinations order etc.). It also makes sense to bring with you any letters that you have already sent in connection with the matter in question.
