The Law Society of Kenya, which is celebrating 75 years of its existence, is a professional association established by the Law Society of Kenya Act.

Section 3 of the Law Society of Kenya Ordinance, 1949, repealed by the current Act in 1992, establishes it with the mandate of advising and assisting members of the legal profession, the government and the larger public in all matters relating to administration of justice. It seeks to promote quality and robust legal practice and the rule of law and it is living up to its vision. It has over 20,000 practising advocates.
