Magyar Jogász Egylet

What Magyar Jogász Egylet does

Magyar Jogász Egylet (MJE; Hungarian Lawyers' Association) is one of Hungary's oldest professional legal associations, founded in 1879 and headquartered at Szemere utca 8, Budapest. The organization serves Hungarian legal professionals — primarily practicing lawyers (ügyvédek), with secondary segments including judges, prosecutors, notaries, legal advisors, and legal academics — through a territorial network spanning all 19 Hungarian counties plus Budapest. Its mission centers on continuing legal education, professional networking, and contribution to Hungarian legal scholarship and practice.

MJE's product portfolio comprises the A-category Magyar Jog professional journal (published in cooperation with Orac Kiadó), the Képzések training platform at kepzes.jogaszegylet.hu delivering credit-point bearing programs, the Jogélet multimedia and news portal, the Tudástár digital knowledge repository, and the annual Jogászgyűlés national conference series. The association also runs county-level legal days, specialized sections across every major legal discipline (labor law, family law, commercial law, agricultural law, insurance law, public law, etc.), and award programs including the Deák Ferenc-díj and Szalay László Emlékérem. Events are delivered both in-person at courthouses, university campuses, and bar association halls, and online via Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

The organization operates as a Hungarian nonprofit civil society organization (közhasznú civil szervezet) with a lean staff of approximately 5 employees and member-elected governance currently led by President Dr. Trócsányi László, Vice President Dr. Bánáti János, and General Secretary Dr. Réti László. Revenue derives from three streams: annual membership fees from individual legal professionals, training and conference fees (typically 2,000-67,000 HUF per event), and Magyar Jog journal subscriptions distributed via Orac Kiadó. MJE co-organizes programming with institutional partners including the Ministry of Justice, the Hungarian and Budapest Bar Associations, the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce, six Hungarian university law faculties, and specialized associations such as AIDA Hungary.
