The Attorney General (AG) Dorcas Oduor has committed to implementing extensive reforms in Kenya's legal education sector to shape the future of the legal profession and ensure the justice system is served by ethical and competent professionals.
The reforms follow the release of the Report by the Committee on Legal Education Sector Reforms.
Speaking during the report's presentation at her office in Nairobi, the AG acknowledged the longstanding concerns regarding the structure and effectiveness of legal education, which prompted the urgent formation of the committee shortly after she assumed office. "These recommendations aim to strengthen legal education, promote inclusivity, and create a transparent and efficient training system for legal professionals in Kenya," said the AG.
She revealed that the report provides a clear roadmap for addressing the challenges faced by Kenya's Legal Education Sector through policy and legislative reforms that meet both national and international standards.
