Amicus Curiae Participation Guidelines

Summary

An amicus curiae, or friend of the court, can participate in legal matters with court permission, especially if they have a strong interest or expertise. Their involvement is beneficial when it provides additional insights. At the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) and Kenyan High Courts, late applications are those missing deadlines, filed after significant case progress, or not adhering to procedural timelines. Courts may restrict participation if the amicus does not add value or if the application is improperly submitted. Understanding these guidelines can help ensure timely and relevant participation.
