Criminal Law by William Musyoka
Brief Summary
This text is designed to expose the Kenyan law on criminal responsibility and to define the common and key offences created by Kenyan statutes.
An attempt has been made to rely mainly on Kenyan case law, but there is reference to cases from the other East African countries and the rest of the Commonwealth.
The book is meant for law students undertaking the LL.B. programme. Legal practitioners, judicial officers, law enforcement agents and other persons with an interest in criminal law and justice will also find it useful.
Beacons of Judiciary Transformation by Dr Willy Mutunga
This remarkable book contains over 60 speeches, seven judicial opinions, and three academic articles of Chief Justice Willy Mutunga written during his tenure as Chief Justice and President of the Supreme Court of Kenya from 2011 to 2016. Edited by Prof. Sylvia Kangara, Duncan Okello and Kwamchetsi Makokha, the book is a tour de force of Chief Justice Willy Mutunga’s remarkable career as the first Chief Justice under the 2010 Constitution and his efforts to transform the Judiciary, but also his role as an unrivalled leader of civil society movements in Kenya, thinker, academic, reformist and much more.
The speeches, judicial opinions and academic articles are divided along the themes that resonate across Chief Justice Mutunga’s career: People, Participation and the Law; Gender Justice; the Legal Profession; Dialogue with Judges, Magistrates, Kadhis and Staff; Judicial Accountability; Jurisprudence; Elections; Expanding the Footprint of Justice; Inter-Governmental Relations; the Elite and the Academy; Nationhood; Youth Culture and the Arts; International Judicial Diplomacy; and of course Beacons for the Future. It is those Beacons for the future from which the title of this book is derived.
This book therefore reflects Chief Justice Willy Mutunga’s commitment to what he calls the beacons of the 2010 Constitution. His own tenure as Chief Justice exemplified those beacons of alternative political leadership including incorruptibility, integrity, equitable distribution of resources among all people in the county, particularly minorities, and promotion of the sovereignty of the people through deep and committed public participation.
Anyone who wants to understand why Kenya’s 2010 Constitution was so overwhelmingly ratified by the people of Kenya, how to interpret and understand it as well as what it means across a whole range of domains will find this book absolutely indispensable.
A Court of Specialists: Judicial Behavior on the UK Supreme Court
Brief Summary
This book offers the first quantitative study of decision-making on the UK Supreme Court. Covering the court's first ten years, it examines all stages of the court's decision-making process -- from the permission to appeal stage to the decision on the final outcome. The analysis of these distinct stages shows that legal factors matter. The most important predictor of whether an appellant will succeed in the Supreme Court is whether they've been able to convince judges in lower courts. The most important predictor of whether a case will be heard *at all* is whether it has been written up in multiple weekly law reports. But ""legal factors mattering"" doesn't mean that judges on the court are simply identical expressions of the law. The nature of the UK's court system means that judges arrive on the court as specialists in one or more areas of law (such as commercial law, or family law), or even systems of law (the court's Scottish and Northern Irish judges). These specialisms markedly affect behaviour on the court. Specialists in an area of law are more likely to hear cases in that area, and are more likely to write the lead opinion in that area.
Non-specialists are less likely to disagree with specialists, and so disagreement is more likely to emerge when multiple specialists end up on the panel. Although political divisions between the justices do exist, these differences are much less marked than the divisions between experts in different areas of the law.
The best way of understanding the UK Supreme Court is therefore to see it as a court of specialists. ""--

The Black Bar By Paul Mwangi
THE RULE OF LAW WITHERS IN AN UNHEALTHY LEGAL PROFESSION Lawyers have always been recognized as the protectors of the Rule of Law.
Indeed, when Shakespeare wrote in Henry V1 “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”, it was a testimony to the fact that where lawyers honestly discharge their duty to society, they guard against lawlessness and become the single most principal assurance of the “Rule of Law”.
Safeguarding the Rule of Law is one of the areas where Kenya has performed badly, giving way to impunity and utter chaos and left the weak and the poor absolutely at the mercy of the rich and the powerful. “The Black Bar” looks at this history and exposes how lawyers in Kenya have in history been accessories to the derogation of the rule of law.
