KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an LL.B student and legal researcher with hands-on experience drafting affidavits, plaints, judgments, and policy documents during internships and a judicial attachment. I have applied Kenya’s judiciary e-filing system, managed case files, and handled filings and submissions for court and clients. These experiences sharpened my legal research, drafting, and client-facing skills.
I produce legal opinions, case digests, and hold briefs under senior counsel while working well under pressure and seeking a role that offers mentorship, integrity, and growth.
