Description

The history of Kenya’s Judiciary can be traced to the East African Order in Council of 1897 and the Crown regulations made there under which marked the beginning of a legal system in Kenya. It was based on a tripartite division of subordinate courts; that is, Native courts, Muslim courts and those staffed by Administrative officers and Magistrates. A dual system of superior courts was also established, one court for Europeans and the other for Africans. This system only lasted for 5 years. Upon the realization by the colonial authorities of the need to have dispute resolution organs, village elders, headmen and chiefs were empowered to settle disputes as they had done in the pre-colonial period.

BAM 2313/CAM 213;International relations Trending!
The fact that the entire population of the world is divided into separate territorial political communities, or independent states, which affect the way people live, is a good reason to study International Relations. Together those states form an international system that is global in scope. Everybody on earth with very few exceptions, not only lives in one of those countries but is also a citizen of one of them and in some cases, of more than one. So every man, woman, and child on earth is connected to a particular state, and through that state to the state system which affects their lives in important ways that they may not be aware of.
