A raft of amendments to the law is in the works to curb the inadequacies that contribute to mass failure of students sitting the bar examination at the Kenya School of Law. Also likely to be slashed are the amounts charged for re-sitting and remarking the bar tests by the Council of Legal Education. CLE is the regulator that sets, administers and marks bar exams at KSL, the country’s only institution offering the ATP. According to submissions made by the deans of law schools, CLE and students’ governing council, congestion at KSL coupled with a dearth of facilities and other resources are the biggest contributors to mass failures. In their submissions two weeks ago, KSL students governing council president Timothy Thondu and Daystar University Law School dean Moni Wekesa disclosed that the lecturer to students ratio stands at 1:900.
