This compendium intends to plug a gap in the information on the rules and regulations governing the practice of law in East Africa and to provide an up-to-date regulatory framework. It aims to encourage comparative analyses and adoption of best practicesfrom across the region and promote a discourse that encourages the harmonisation of legal practice, working towards a ?model code of legal practice, conduct, ethics and etiquette? which enjoys legitimacy, ownership and support throughout the region. It also aspires to compare the region's regulatory framework with international best practices; and to this end includes the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and the International Bar Associations? International Code of Ethics. It also includes some information on the nascent East African Court of Justice, the court's practice, and arbitration rules.

Singing the Law is about the legal lives and afterlives of oral cultures in East Africa, particularly as they appear within the pages of written literatures during the colonial and postcolonial periods. In examining these cultures, this book begins with an analysis of the cultural narratives of time and modernity that formed the foundations of British colonial law. Recognizing the contradictory nature of these narratives (i.e., both promoting and retreating from the Euro-centric ideal of temporal progress) enables us to make sense of the many representations of and experiments with non-linear, open-ended, and otherwise experimental temporalities that we find in works of East African literature that take colonial law as a subject or point of critique. Many of these works, furthermore, consciously appropriate orature as an expressive form with legal authority. This affords them the capacity to challenge the narrative foundations of colonial law and its postcolonial residues and offer alternative models of temporality and modernity that give rise, in turn, to alternative forms of legality. East Africa’s “oral jurisprudence” ultimately has implications not only for our understanding of law and literature in colonial and postcolonial contexts, but more broadly for our understanding of how the global south has shaped modern law as we know and experience it today.
