The Faculty of Law of Comenius University Bratislava (PraF UK) organized the third annual full-day event entitled “Day of Opportunities 2026” on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. The aim of the event, which can be described as a job and internship fair, was to strengthen the faculty’s cooperation with partners from the public sector, including partners with whom the faculty has concluded memoranda of cooperation, while also providing students with opportunities to gain practical experience, internships, and future employment.
The opening ceremony was attended by Eduard Burda, Dean of the Faculty of Law of Comenius University Bratislava, and Laura Fotopulosová, Vice Dean for Collaboration with the Professional Community and Continuing Education. Among the distinguished guests were Milan Hodas, First State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic, and Martin Rímeš, Director General of the Personnel and Social Affairs Section of the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic. Dean Burda welcomed the fact that the event has become firmly established among the faculty’s traditional activities, emphasizing the importance of linking academia and legal practice.
The event programme also included four expert lectures providing students with practical information on a range of interesting topics. Anna Peťovská, Director of the Legal Aid Centre, accepted the invitation and, together with her team, delivered an engaging lecture on the Centre’s activities entitled “The Right Choice for a Student Internship.” The Centre currently operates 15 regional offices and 43 consultation centres throughout Slovakia. This was followed by the lecture “From Judicial Assistant to the Bench: Navigating the Career Path”, in which representatives of the Office of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic explained how to prepare for a job interview and pursue a career in the judiciary. Representatives of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic then presented career opportunities within the armed forces. The programme concluded with a lecture entitled “Influencers – Regulatory Basics”, during which representatives of the Council for Media Services explained what every future lawyer should know about influencers and outlined the Council’s powers in the regulation of online content.
