Overview

Constitutional and Human Rights Foundations of Kenyan Evidence Law” explores the transformative shifts in evidence law brought about by the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Once characterized by rigid formalism and a reluctance to embrace rights-based approaches or international influences, Kenyan evidence law has undergone significant evolution.

The Constitution now weaves human rights into the legal fabric, demanding that adjudication not only seek truth but also uphold justice within its pursuit, there by creating a dynamic and just legal framework.

This text meticulously examines how these profound changes affect the interpretation and application of evidence law, fostering a justice system that respects and enforces human rights and fundamentally altering the landscape of legal evidence in Kenya.
