Book Description
This compendium intends to plug a gap in the information on the rules and regulations governing the practice of law in East Africa and to provide an up-to-date regulatory framework. It aims to encourage comparative analyses and adoption of best practicesfrom across the region and promote a discourse that encourages the harmonisation of legal practice, working towards a ?model code of legal practice, conduct, ethics and etiquette? which enjoys legitimacy, ownership and support throughout the region. It also aspires to compare the region's regulatory framework with international best practices; and to this end includes the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and the International Bar Associations? International Code of Ethics. It also includes some information on the nascent East African Court of Justice, the court's practice, and arbitration rules.
