The Council of Legal Education conducted an audit at the Faculty of law on 23rd March 2026; following the expiry of the institution’s Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) training licence, as part of its statutory mandate to regulate legal education and ensure compliance with national standards.

The exercise, led by Chief Executive Officer Prof. Jack Mwimali and Director of Standards, Licensing, Supervision and Compliance Ms. Annah Konuche, brought together a team from the Directorate of Standards, Licensing, Supervision and Compliance to undertake a comprehensive review of the Faculty’s academic and institutional capacity.

The Faculty of Law delegation was led by the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof. Winifred Kamau, alongside Dr. Bett  and other members of the Faculty’s leadership and academic staff. During the engagement at Parklands Campus, Prof. Kamau presented the Faculty’s ongoing efforts in curriculum reform, alignment with competency-based education and training (CBET) requirements, and the strengthening of practical legal training through clinical programmes and skills-based learning. She further highlighted improvements in staffing, infrastructure, and library resources aimed at enhancing the quality and relevance of legal education offered by the University.

The audit focused on key areas central to the delivery of legal education, including admission requirements, competency-based education and training (CBET) preparedness, curriculum implementation, staffing levels, infrastructure, library resources, and overall compliance with regulatory standards set by the Council.

Speaking during the exercise, Prof. Mwimali reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to safeguarding the quality of legal education and training in Kenya, noting that regular audits play a critical role in ensuring institutions consistently meet the standards required to train competent and ethical legal professionals.
