The fellowship provides an opportunity to up to 30 outstanding young advocates from East Africa to learn from public interest litigation scholars and researchers, judges of the various courts, and advocacy practitioners, both in class and in court for six (6) months. Since the inauguration of the first training programme in November 2019, CSL has since hosted three cohorts. Altogether out of 562 applicants, 61 fellows have been accepted to the programme thus far.
