The CEELI Institute is an independent, non-profit organization that believes in the rule of law. We are an international provider of post-graduate, legal-education training, advocacy and programming, headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic. The Institute is located in the Villa Grebovka. The Villa is a historic landmark that dates back to 1871; our building blends the influence of Italian Renaissance design with an opulent interpretation of Czech architectural innovation. The Villa was once occupied by members of the royal Hapsburg family, Princess Elizabeth - daughter of crown prince Rudolf and granddaughter of Emperor Franz Josef I, and her husband Karel Otto Windischgratz lived in our villa. Here at the CEELI Institute, our mission is to strengthen the international community of legal and judicial experts, advocates, journalists and law students, activists and professionals who are committed to the rule of law, liberty and accountable governments. Through innovative training programs, webinars and other activities, the Institute works with judges and legal reformers both in transitioning countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, in the United States, Asia, and the Middle East. We work to support the development of democratic institutions, anti-corruption advocacy, free-market economies, transparency in journalism, freedom of the press and respect for human rights. Whatever your level of expertise, we encourage you to get involved! We welcome current law students, new and veteran legal professionals, members of the judiciary and of analogous branches of the government, or private sector professionals, to contact us and join us for future programs, trainings or events.
