About CeskeZakony.cz
CeskeZakony.cz is a free portal whose goal is to make Czech legislation accessible to all citizens. We believe that access to laws should be simple, clear, and available to everyone free of charge.
The portal collects laws, decrees, regulations and international treaties from the official electronic Collection of Laws (e-Sbírka) of the Czech Ministry of the Interior. Court decisions are sourced from the Ministry of Justice database. We monitor the legislative process through data from the Chamber of Deputies. All data is regularly updated to ensure you always have access to current texts.
