Finally, Kenya Law Reports has made it.It has achieved its goalof ushring the Kenyan law into the electronic age. What with the Kenyan law reports now accessible free of charge?
We laud the those behind eKLR(official citation of the electronic Kenya Law reports) and the Kenyan judiciary on achievement of this pace-setting feat in law reporting. Undoubtedly,this will a long way in making our judiciary, the learned High Court judges and Appeal Judges, more responsible as their decisions are being read far and wide.The venture is also a step in the right direction in building what will rightly merit the labelo: 'Kenyan Jurisprudence'.
We can only but hope that the free online law reports will in its wake bring renewed interest in the legal profession for citing precedents in litigation.We have endured enough the castigation of the bench of the intrasigency of our lawyers in citing authorities to bulwark their client cases and their unmatched temerity to ask for immorally high fees. Its time for lawyers to show worthy for the fees and silence the critics.
The public shoud also take advantage of the new development and ensure that they a never again caught ignorant of the law.Contrary to the popular belief, law is not a complicated affair only amenable to the special minds of 'the learned'. If that were the case, then it would not be the case that the greatest of lawyers prove to be those who simply the law to the ordinary joe's understanding without diluting it.
Free Kenyan cases,hot from the bench are now accessible via:
