Court substitution in Poznań
Poznań is the seat of a Court of Appeal whose jurisdiction covers three regional courts — Poznań, Konin and Zielona Góra — making the city the main judicial centre of the whole of Wielkopolska and the Lubusz Land. The Regional Court in Poznań itself has an exceptionally large jurisdiction: it covers as many as 21 district courts, including three operating within the city. For law firms in Poznań this means a large, varied volume of cases — from commercial to civil and criminal — and a regular need for court substitution when dates clash or a case is heard in one of the circuit's many district courts. Wokanda lets you find a court substitute in Poznań without trawling Facebook groups and sending dozens of private messages — you publish a job, verified substitutes come forward themselves, and you pick one.
Court substitution vs advocate and attorney-at-law substitution — Poznań
Court substitution, advocate substitution and attorney-at-law substitution are, in practice, three names for the same phenomenon: a representative who cannot attend a proceeding grants a further power of attorney to another advocate, attorney-at-law or authorised trainee, who takes over the case for the duration of a single hearing or interrogation. In Poznań, where the city is divided between three district courts and the circuit covers a further eighteen, the need for a court substitute arises often both in local cases and in those heard in Gniezno, Leszno or Piła. Wokanda lets you find a court substitute matched by location both to a specific district of Poznań and to any of the district courts across the whole circuit.
Competent courts in Poznań for court substitution

Court substitution before the prosecutor's office in Poznań
Procedural substitution also covers actions before the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Poznań and the district prosecutor's offices across the city — taking part in an interrogation, reviewing the case file of a pre-trial investigation, being present at evidentiary actions. The dates of such actions are often set at short notice, and the absence of defence counsel or a representative can have a real impact on how the client's case unfolds. Substitution for prosecutorial actions in Poznań is an area where what matters most is how quickly you can find a verified substitute.
Court substitution at a police station in Poznań
The presence of defence counsel during actions at police stations across Poznań — the interrogation of a detainee or a suspect — is a situation that demands a response measured in hours, not days. Substitution for an interrogation in Poznań is handled by Wokanda on the same terms as court and prosecutorial substitutions: a job with the location and date goes out to verified substitutes in the area, and the client chooses from among the offers.
How court substitution through Wokanda works in Poznań
The client publishes a substitution job: they specify the court, prosecutor's office or police station, the date and time of the action, the required status of the substitute and the net rate. Verified substitute counsel in Poznań — whose status is checked against the public KRAIA and IRP registers — signal their availability, accepting the proposed rate or making a counter-offer. The client selects one substitute, and a chat opens to settle the details. Payment is handled via Stripe: the client adds VAT and the service fee on top, and the provider receives the full net rate plus VAT, with no deductions.
Posting a substitution job in Poznań — for clients
If you run a law firm in Poznań and need an urgent court substitute for a hearing, a prosecutor's interrogation or a police-station action, Wokanda lets you post a job in a few minutes. Jobs are sorted by distance from the specified institution, making it easier to find a substitute not only in Poznań itself but also in Gniezno, Leszno, Piła and the other towns of the circuit.
Taking on court substitutions in Poznań — for providers
