Support
Peer solidarity for people navigating delay, cost, and complexity in the courts, so no litigant faces the system alone.
Litigant Association of Kenya A society of litigants, for litigants
Standing with those facing Kenya’s courts.
We support litigants through peer advisory, referrals to reputable advocates, and collective advocacy, defending the rights of ordinary people in the justice system.
What we do
Advise
Practical guidance from those who have been there: what to expect, how to prepare, and how to protect your rights as a party.
Connect
Referral guidance to reputable advocates, helping members engage suitable counsel, without the Litigant Association of Kenya acting as a law firm.
Defend rights
Collective advocacy for faster, fairer, more affordable justice: a public voice for litigants across Kenya.
