You get a good lawyer(criminal).
He handles your first instructions well.
He gets you out on bond.
He goes back and reviews the term.
He then demands for his fee(deposit)
You then use local county advs and other lawyers(civil).
You refuse to pay the first lawyer.
NOW YOU KNOW.

Solo practice is wild because you’re the lawyer, the assistant, the marketer, the accountant, and the person who has to unjam the printer.

Having to explain to Clients difference between a Retainer agreement, and being engaged on a single brief are two different things<<<<<.
Yes I represent you in this matter, but no you can't call me anytime you feel like talking to your lawyer. 🤣

Starting a law firm is brave. I like brave people. Every time I meet a lawyer who did it, I walk away inspired.

[Peter Wanyama @pwanyama]

I like litigation ( appellate disputes at the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court) . Without it-I will just go to Bungoma and take care of the cows while watching the birds chirping. Litigation is a game of chess. The intrigues and controversies surrounding court cases especially the high stakes suits and court case with aporetic and confusing legal outcomes - are especially interesting. In litigation, you can trap your opponent in an inescapable position and where they have no juridical escape. But pleas note that the one who drafts well, makes complete submissions [ on the point ] and evinces a smarter character of intellect -always wins. However, you can rejoice of a win, clap your way around only to lose at the appellate level [ where it matters. To me this cycle is utterly redemptive and deeply satisfying.

Have a good litigation day ! To the unqualified mediators-I am still not talking to you !

[Ahmednasir Abdullahi SC @ahmednasirlaw]

I have read the ruling by Justice Chigiti in which he struck off a pleading because a lay person used AI and certain research tools to help him draft pleadings. I have never seen a silly judgment of a court like Justice Chigiti's...what an absurd and clueless judgment. @omwanza @NelsonHavi

The worst case scenario of starting your own firm isn't failure. It's staying at a firm that makes you miserable for 30 years and calling it a career.

Is it (il)legal to draft pleadings using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools?

Kenya's High Court has set aside a judgment delivered in December 23rd 2025 after it emerged that pleadings in the case had been generated using AI tools.

· The High Court holds that this raises serious concerns about fairness & the integrity of court processes

· "The drafting of Pleadings in Kenya is regulated by Order 2 of the civil Procedure rules"

· "The generation of pleadings through unknown tools or artificial intelligence gives an unfair advantage to the person drafting using such tools. This amounts to an affront to access to justice as guaranteed under Article 48 of the Constitution"

· "Drafting pleadings, using artificial tools unknown to the Civil Procedure Rules and artificial intelligence which are not provided for in our Laws, gives such a user or litigant an unfair advantage over their rival in an adversarial system"

· "Kenya is currently working towards legally embracing artificial intelligence. Once the legislators come up with an appropriate legislative framework of at all, then artificial intelligence will then form part of our Laws"

[Legal Officer ☀️ @CounselAllanVic]

There are Lawyers who do not make any notes in a case file.
They keep all details in their heads.
Once a client changes legal representation,the new lawyer will all be lost right from the beginning.
They can't even just handover everything to you 🤣🤣

Irredeemable insanity. Ati do sale agreement for 5k. The purchase price is 2.4 Million. Peleka hizo nonsense kwa Chief. Who said I'm desperate? Interestingly, the subject land was granted to the vendor as a result of lease by County Government. Kitamramba viproper huku mbele.

Lawyers you are masters of your own career. Don’t wait for someone else to make it happen for you. Play offense.

[The Judiciary Kenya @Kenyajudiciary]
