Counting Down to the #CEHURDMoot2026 |
𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬

Every year, CEHURD brings together law students from universities across Uganda to test their legal knowledge, sharpen their courtroom advocacy skills and engage critically with health, human rights and justice.

As we count down the days to this year’s 𝟏𝟑𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, we are also hearing from the Moot Coordinators who have been part of this journey for close to 13 years.

Through their reflections, they share what the CEHURD Moot means to their students, the skills it builds and how the experience contributes to shaping courageous advocates for justice and human dignity.

We begin with Mr Habu Eric, Moot Coordinator at @UPU_Uganda , Fort Portal Campus, who reminds us that for students, the CEHURD Moot is about more than stepping into a courtroom and competing for a trophy. It is a journey of learning, challenge and growth, where students develop the confidence and courage to use the law to make a difference in society.

Lecturing at university demands the highest academic credentials of all jobs in Uganda. The nature of the work is also such that there are hardly any real breaks. But when it comes to payment, even those who only need S.6 are paid more than five times higher.

What logic informs remuneration in Uganda? Influence? Amount of work? Academic qualifications? Politics? Lobbying?

“Emotional intelligence is the ability to control your emotions and the emotions of those around you, especially when things have blown out of proportion. Your ability to be employable is no longer determined by your IQ alone, but by your EQ as well.”

“I am excited to serve as Attorney General. I have reached the peak of my legal career and cannot go any further—I am now Head of the Bar. I give it my all. I thank the President for the confidence he has placed in me. I am truly humbled, and I will do my best to ensure that my President does not regret appointing me to this position.”

Dr. Sam Mayanja, Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda, speaking at @JSConversations

"Only six categories of people should handle land transactions in the registries: advocates with valid practicing certificates, architects, surveyors, valuers, and bank officers at officer level. No other person should be seen in the premises of a land office. I enforced it for a time. But the bar didn't come to support me and slowly, slowly, the brokers began coming back."

"A shabby lawyer is not one of us. A poor lawyer is not one of us. Every lawyer is intelligent. Every lawyer is smart. We must maintain those standards. When you address the court, even if you have lost, you say, with due respect, I differ. That is part of the profession. The ethos of professionalism must always be encouraged."

"You have 24 judges at the Supreme Court. Each judge has a house of a certain category. Each judge has a car costing 600 million shillings. That car must be maintained not only during the ten years of that judge's service, but even after he retires, up to his date of departure from this world. This is not sustainable."
Dr. Sam Mayanja, Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda speaking @JSConversations @elisonk

[JSC Conversations @JSConversations]

"A judge who is annoyed gives a fine of 200 million shillings and puts a lawyer in prison for several years for contempt of court. What are you trying to demonstrate? When you are dispensing justice, you are not looking at the lawyer in front of you. You are looking at the person he represents. You are looking at justice itself."

High Court Holds That Counsel’s Error in Using the Wrong Procedure (Notice of Appeal Instead of a Memorandum of Appeal) May Constitute Sufficient Cause for Enlargement of Time, Provided It Amounts to an Error of Judgment Rather Than Inordinate Delay or Negligence

The Court found that prior counsel attempted to commence the appeal using the wrong procedure by filing a Notice of Appeal on March 28, 2023, instead of a Memorandum of Appeal as required by Order XL Rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

The Court held this mistake of counsel constituted sufficient cause, citing Florence Nabatanzi v Naome Binsobedde (Supreme Court Civil Application No. 6 of 1987).

MEMBERS NOTICE: BRIDGING THE GAP & FUTURE-PROOFING OUR LEGAL AID CLINICS

On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, our Governing Council continued its nationwide “LEVEL UP” assessment by visiting the Kabale LAP Clinic, as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration between @ug_lawsociety members and @lap_uls clinics.

Advocates at the clinic expressed gratitude to the #RadicalNewBar for recognizing and engaging with upcountry legal affairs. In turn, the Council emphasized the importance of accurate and consistent record-keeping across all districts under their jurisdiction.

Later, the Council proceeded to Kabale High Court to assess how conducive and convenient the environment is for litigants. During the visit, no complaints were raised by any of the litigants present.
