Our Projects

Public Interest Litigation

The Trust intends to initiate a series of annual colloquiums on the promotion of Legal Ethics and Access to Justice. This project will be focused on opening up discussions between practitioners in order for them to appreciate the importance of adhering to the standards of professional ethics in a bid to enhance the ethical standards of the legal profession. This project is also aimed as setting in motion the practice of the canons of professional ethics that have been taught to lawyers in order to achieve standards that are true to the legal profession. 

The Project aims to analyze the state of the Rule of Law in Kenya and ensure that there is an engagement of key institutions in the legal and justice sector for the advancement of the rule of law in Kenya.  

Aims to address the concerns of the declining judicial accountability and independence in Kenya. The Project will involve various stakeholders including Judges and Magistrates, Court Staff and Advocates.
