This book analyzes the liberalization of legal education and training in Uganda with a view to exploring avenues for the development of a legal education policy that addresses various problems with regard to the quality of law graduates and of legal services in the market place currently available given the large number of law graduates entering the professional field each year. It, therefore, provides comparative lessons for the systems of legal education in the other East African countries. This is especially important as the three countries (together with Burundi and Rwanda which share a civil law background) move closer together with the ultimate goal of political federation.

This book is a study of the law and practice relating to the private legal profession in Tanzania. It shows that the profession has played and continues to play an important and indispensable role in the operation of the common law system and its adversarial procedure that forms the backbone of the country’s legal order.
However, certain shortcomings exist in some areas of the professional regime that call for serious reflection on the part of the profession and authorities involved in its practical application. Among topics that receive particular attention here are legal education and the process of qualification for advocacy, legal ethics, the provision of legal services, legal aid, and some basic principles of the professional system.
The book thus proposes changes with a view to addressing the deficiencies that presently exist by suggesting positive reforms on the existing framework. Their adoption would ensure a remarkably improved professional structure.
The author comprehensively attempts to discuss the jurisprudence touching a general understanding of law basically needed in the East African legal community. He aptly covers those areas of law that have been considered basic yet demanding, as observed in various chapters. Reflecting on these substantive and structural features, a theoretically inclined observer might find the book of vital importance.
