Episode 5: Inside Kenya’s Evidence Law

In this episode of LegalEase to the Bar, we shine a light on Evidence Law—a subject that may not stand alone in the ATP syllabus, but is deeply woven into every core unit, from criminal and civil procedure to professional ethics and trial advocacy.

We explore key principles like the burden and standard of proof, admissibility, relevance, hearsay, privilege, and the use of documentary and digital evidence. With references to the Evidence Act (Cap 80) and common law doctrines, we show how mastery of evidence is essential not just for exams, but for courtroom competence and confident oral submissions.

Whether you’re revising for orals, reviewing case files during pupillage, or aiming to understand the logic behind legal arguments, this episode gives you the tools to think like an advocate—with clarity and precision.
