Kenya School of Law

Kenya School of Law

The Kenya School Of Law (KSL) is currently the only law school in Kenya. After their completion of an Undergraduate Degrees in Law from a recognized university, students attend the Kenya School of law to be prepared for admission to the Kenyan Bar.

The Kenya School of Law was initially established as a law vocational training school in 1963. 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. 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, Consultancies and Research

The Council of Legal Education Act is the basis of legal training in Kenya.
