About this book

Mediation in Kenya: Law, Policy, and Practice under the Court‑Annexed.

Mediation Framework is a clear and practical guide to mediation’s place in Kenya’s justice system. Authored by Vincent Okelo Adet and Lucy Mutua Mulago, legal practitioners at both the bench and the bar, and certified professional mediators, this book examines the constitutional foundations, statutory framework, and professional standards that shape Court‑Annexed Mediation, with particular focus on the Civil Procedure (Court‑Annexed Mediation) Rules, 2022 and the role of the Mediation Accreditation Committee (MAC).

Based on the Judiciary’s Social Transformation through Access to Justice (STAJ) Vision, the book underscores mediation’s contribution to improving case management efficiency, encouraging reconciliation, and supporting solutions that reflect the needs of the parties involved. Written in an accessible and grounded style, it serves as a valuable resource for judges, magistrates,  advocates, mediators, scholars, and policymakers seeking to understand and advance mediation as a practical tool for justice and social harmony.
