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.
