Law student and legal intern focused on children’s rights, research, and mediation.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a law student with legal internship experience at the Ruaraka Sub-County Children’s Office, where I handled case management and documentation for children’s rights violations. I received and recorded complaints, prepared documents, and uploaded them to the Child Protection Information System (CPIMS), and I organized home visits for children at risk while participating in awareness and advocacy programs such as the Day of the African Child (DAC). I also attended court proceedings as a Children’s Officer.
Through my judicial attachment at the Mombasa Law Courts, I rotated across the Registry, Civil Court, and Criminal Court, drafting legal documents and assisting with organizing court files. Observing High Court proceedings strengthened my understanding of court procedures and Kenya’s justice system, while shaping my approach to legal research, accurate document drafting, and clear communication under pressure.
