The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has directed all advocates across the country to skip court hearings with immediate effect, citing a protest against judicial disciplinary actions.

The directive includes a one-day nationwide boycott and an indefinite targeted boycott of specific courts, including the Supreme Court, focusing on judges involved in restraining orders against the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) investigations.Advocates are instructed to avoid participating in all court hearings during the boycott period, except for interim orders.The LSK emphasized that the action is a lawful exercise of collective rights, similar to public holidays.Affected judges may only deliver pending rulings and must not preside over new cases.The targeted boycott extends to the Supreme Court, where all hearings are suspended except for Registry services.

The LSK warned that non-compliance would result in reports to the JSC, with feedback collected from advocates to assess the impact of the boycott on judicial processes.
