After finishing high school in 1946, Vladislav David entered the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University in Brno. At that time, Masaryk University Faculty of Law hosted a number of leading Czech law scholars, such as František Weyer or Hynek Bulín. David decided for academic career as assistant of the latter, however the communist persecution, which came after 1948 coup d'état, led to closure of the faculty in 1950.

Apart from his duties in Brno, he held lectures also at the law faculties of University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik, Charles University, University of Leipzig, University of Copenhagen, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and University of Wrocław.
