Kenya’s Most Poetic Court Verdicts (2024) by O. Mogere

They listen, and they judge.
While writing their decisions, most judges prefer sticking to the matters brought before them and analysing the law as the writs say.
Then there are those who do so but let their creative juices flow.
From citing literary works to reproducing lyrics of popular songs, some judges have a way with words.
This book samples 20 of the best in Kenya in the year 2024, with links provided to the full verdicts on Kenya Law Reports.
O. Mogere, who gathered these verdicts, is a literature graduate and a fan of the creative mind. He believes court processes are beautiful—and that judges and magistrates are up there with the gods.
