History


The Kenya School of Law was established as a law vocational training school for the training of barristers in 1963. It was created by Gerald Davis, a barrister under the auspices of Lord Justice Denning. Many of the lecturers appointed by Gerald Davis went on to become judges in the UK. The standard of teaching was very high. However, the establishment of Faculties of Law in East African universities led to a need to change the training offered at the Kenya School of Law.


Programs


The Kenya School of Law was re-established as in 1995 to provide the Advocates Training Program which focused on the preparation of young lawyers for entry into the legal profession. In 2005, a ministerial task force on the Development of a Policy and Legal Framework for Legal Education in Kenya expanded the mandate of the Kenya School of Law to include the following: Advocates Training, Continuing Professional Legal Development, Paralegal Training, the provision of Specialized Professional Legal Training in Public Service, Conducting of Projects and Consultancies and Research. The Council of Legal Education Act is the basis of legal training in Kenya.[1]


Advocates Training Program


This is an eighteen-month course, with twelve months of classes and six months of pupilage. The courses cover civil litigation, criminal litigation, probate and administration, legal writing and drafting, trial advocacy, professional ethics and practice, legal practice management, conveyancing, and commercial transactions.[2] The course is taught through a clinical approach, where problem questions are discussed in simulations, role plays, seminars and moot courts.[3]


KSL Thola Glass F.C.


The Kenya School of Law sponsors Kenya School of Law Thola Glass Football Club, commonly known as KSL Thola Glass or simply Thola Glass or Thola, which competes in FKF Division One, the second tier in the Kenyan football league system.[4][5]
