Kenya Law once again partnered with Kenyatta University to realize the 4^th All Kenyan Moot Court Competition (AKMCC) held at the Kenyatta University new moot court facility on 26^th and 27^th February 2016.

Kenya Law appointed three legal experts to be the lead judges for the oral presentations and to assist in the review and marking of the research papers. The organization also offered complimentary copies of the pocket size constitution and other legal publications to aid the students in their research.

 

Sponsoring AKMCC is one of the ways in which Kenya Law fulfills its obligation to care for the wellbeing of others and also aligns its processes, services and products with the attainment of positive social outcomes.
