CLE and Kenya School of Law Strengthen Ties to Enhance Legal Education Standards 

The Council of Legal Education (CLE) and the Kenya School of Law (KSL) have held a high-level stakeholder engagement meeting aimed at fostering deeper collaboration and excellence in legal training. 

The meeting, held in alignment with the CLE Strategic Plan 2023–2027, focused on synchronizing the efforts of both institutions to ensure a seamless experience for law graduates entering the profession. 

The engagement was strategically timed ahead of the new academic year for the Advocates Training Programme (ATP). Dr. Henry Mutai, Director and CEO of the Kenya School of Law, noted that this coordination is vital for student success. 

"This engagement ensures that there is total alignment between what is taught at KSL and what is expected during the national assessment process. We want to reassure our students that their coursework is directly geared toward professional competence," said Dr. Mutai. 

Professor Jack Mwimali, CLE Secretary and CEO, reaffirmed that the Council’s primary mandate under the Legal Education Act (CAP 16B) is to safeguard the quality of legal education through responsive regulation. 

Prof. Mwimali led a team from the Examination Directorate to engage with the ATP 2026–2027 Cohort, emphasizing that continuous engagement with candidates, training institutions and exam moderators is a cornerstone of the Council’s mission. 

The Council of Legal Education and the Kenya School of Law remain committed to advancing the standards of legal education in Kenya, ensuring that the legal fraternity continues to be defined by high-caliber professionals.
