The Mission of the CEELI Institute

The CEELI Institute is an independent, not-for-profit, international provider of post-graduate, professional legal education headquartered in Prague.

Its mission is to develop an international, professional community of reformers committed to the rule of law. Through innovative training programs and other activities, the Institute works with judges and legal reformers in countries in transition to support the continuing development of market economies and democratic institutions in addition to building a respect for human rights.

The visiting instructors at Institute events are international experts who volunteer their time and talent as a pro bono public service.

Since its founding in 1999 as a Czech public benefit corporation, the Institute has welcomed to Prague over 1,500 participants from 35 countries.
