Judicial Systems Across the Globe: A View from Kenya
In this series, we explore other countries’ legal systems to become more acquainted with their procedures.
In this episode, Host Cecilia Lahaye (Bird & Bird LLP) is joined by Aisha Abdallah (Anjarwalla & Khanna) to uncover the unique aspects of Kenya’s legal system. As a common law jurisdiction, Kenya draws from UK case law – but it also uniquely incorporates African customary law, provided it aligns with fundamental rights and freedoms. Aisha sheds light on the ambitious 2010 Constitution, inspired by South Africa’s model, which introduced progressive provisions on labor rights, environmental protection, and more. The conversation explores how Kenya’s legal framework is transforming, the growing influence of youth activism, and the potential ongoing challenges around access to justice and the rule of law. Join us as we dive into these key differences and explore how Kenya’s legal system shapes justice.
