The Council of Legal Education is a statutory body established by the Legal Education Act No. 27 of
2012. It is charged and mandated to regulate, supervise and license legal education providers in
Kenya, recognize and equate foreign qualifications in law and conduct the Bar Examination.
In fulfilling its mandate, Council receives applications for licensing or renewal of license as legal
education providers for various programmes in law including the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B), Master of
Laws (LL.M) and Diploma in Law programmes. As part of the process for reviewing and assessing the
said programmes, Council subjects the curricula for the said programmes to peer review.
The Council of Legal Education believes that peer review of law programmes is of significant benefit
to the Council of Legal Education, Legal Education Providers, and stakeholders and consumers of
legal education by and large. Peer reviewers serve an important role of reviewing and providing
valuable recommendations to improve the quality of curricula of law programmes offered or proposed
to be offered in Kenya.
