The Strathmore Law Clinic is a student-run, faculty-supervised institution established in 2016 with the singular mandate being to enhance access to justice to all with a special focus on the indigent in the society. The Clinic comprises three units: criminal justice, human rights and entrepreneurship. Each unit focuses on a special area of law; and employs multiple avenues – including outreach and legal aid programs, advocacy, research, conferences and webinars – all aimed at attaining the Clinic’s mandate while enriching the Clinicians’ experiences and interaction with law in motion. In 2020, the Clinic set up a research wing that undertakes cutting-edge legal research and analysis in response to topical societal challenges.

The Strathmore Law Review (SLR) is an annual peer-reviewed, student-edited, academic law journal published by the Strathmore University Law School in conjunction with the Strathmore University Press.
The SLR considers submissions from pre-PhD students annually. Currently, it is the only consistent and high-level student law review in Kenya. Over the years, it has continued to receive submissions by authors, both locally and internationally.
The SLR’s philosophy is to open the gates of legal scholarship for aspiring authors. It aims to do this by encouraging young legal scholars to research and write on legal matters affecting the continent, as can be evidenced from its past volumes.
The SLR has quality assurance measures. This includes a selection and grading rubric to ensure uniformity in selection, and a double-blind review editing process which works to ensure objectivity throughout the process. The editors also provide quality feedback to the authors, irrespective of the outcome of the selection process, to help them improve their legal research and writing skills. It is in this spirit that it hopes to ensure that young legal intellectuals deepen their understanding of social and legal realities and offer thoughtful and practical solutions. Visit Website.
