January Will Hit Us with a Bang and This is Why #RiaraUniversity

“Amicus Curiae” these are the words Githu Muigai used during Kenya’s electoral proceedings last year and which set social media abuzz.

As we came to find out, these words simply met a friend of the court; someone who is not party to a case and who offers information that bears on the case but who has not been solicited by any of the parties to assist a court.

This words however left a mark in many of us and revolutionized how we looked at law in Kenya. I specifically wanted to be a lawyer and I bet you wanted too. It definitely feels good to be referred to as a learned friend and have blogs and media outlets talk about all day.

I soon came to find out it’s possible to possess such skills and be an epitome of success like those lawyers in that court and it’s all courtesy of Riara University which basically has the best law program this country has to offer.

Apart from learning from a world class faculty who have been trained at the Ivy league and other prestigious institutions around the world, Riara’s curriculum has been expertly crafted to nurture a problem solving lawyer who is aware of the social, economic and political context within which the law exists and one who understands and crafts solutions for Africa and beyond.

They mould you into a professional who can easily serve in public and private agencies, international organizations like the ICC while heavily equipped with highly marketable and transferable skills like legal writing, research, critical thinking and many more.

And not only that, they are the only institution in Kenya accredited to offer remedial (pre-ksl) in law and trust me, no council will recognize remedial courses offered by institutions not accredited for that purpose.

Now tell me, what more would you want from an institution of higher learning? Log into their website and enroll for the January intake. And don’t you worry about the fee structure, it’s quite affordable.
