Free legal advice for students from the student union (AStA).

The AStA (student union) offers legal advice for students, for example about rent, work or exams. Check the current opening hours before you go.

Please verify. This guide is based on the experiences of students in our community, not on official or legal advice. Rules, prices and addresses change, so always check the linked official pages before you act.
Help us improve it: every section has a "Suggest a change" link. Your suggestion goes straight to the PSA team, and we update the guide. Suggest a change
