Council of Legal Education CEO Addressing ATP 2026 - 2027 Cohort at Kenya School of Law
CLE CEO Engages ATP 2026–2027 Cohort at Kenya School of Law
In a proactive move to foster transparency and excellence in legal training, the Council of Legal Education (CLE) CEO, Prof. Jack Mwimali, led a senior team from the Examination Directorate to engage with the Advocates Training Programme (ATP) 2026–2027 Cohort.
The engagement, held at the Kenya School of Law (KSL), marks the beginning of the cohort's journey into professional legal practice.
This engagement is a key component of CLE’s quarterly candidate engagement strategy. By meeting students at the onset of their training, the Council aims to strengthen collaboration between the regulator and the candi trainees, align expectations with the CLE Strategic Plan and enhance partnerships within the legal education ecosystem.
During his address, Prof. Mwimali emphasized the Council’s statutory mandate under the Legal Education Act (CAP 16B). He reaffirmed that the Council remains steadfast in its mission:
"To ensure quality legal education through responsive regulation and administration of Bar Examination."
The CEO assured the students that the CLE is committed to providing a fair, credible, and responsive environment throughout their period of study and eventual examination.
The session featured a robust Question and Answer (Q&A) segment where Prof. Mwimali addressed concerns directly from the candidates. He highlighted that these interactions are not isolated events, citing a high-level engagement held just yesterday with the Kenya School of Law administration aimed at refining training standards.
The CEO underscored that continuous dialogue with candidates and stakeholders is vital for the evolution of legal training in Kenya.
The Council of Legal Education extends its sincere appreciation to all ATP candidates who participated in the session both physically and virtually.
CLE wishes the 2026–2027 Cohort the very best as they embark on this rigorous and rewarding program.
