Adventist Lawyers Kenya

I greet you in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Perhaps those of you who studied land law still remember the following famous quotation in Denman D R and Prodano S “Land Use: an Introduction to Proprietary Land Use Analysis” Allen & Unwin, London 1971 Rev 1991:

“Oaks scorn to grow where there is no freehold ….”

The oak is mighty and towering tree. It is revered and mythical in the English culture. Its gestation is long, taking perhaps a hundred years or more to reach maturity. For that reason, tenants of feudal English Landlords, who held leaseholds at the pleasure of their lords, refrained from investing in the oak tree for reasons that the lease could be terminated before the oak tree matured. Therefore, oaks largely stood on freeholds and scorned leaseholds.

- 7 years is spent in the bathroom
- 6 years spent while eating
- 5 years waiting in line
- 4 years cleaning house
- 3 years in meetings
- 1 year searching for things
- 8 months opening junk mail
- 6 months sitting/waiting at the traffic red lights

LOST AND FOUND

One 24 hour
24 Carat golden day
Each hour
studded with 60 diamond minutes
Each minute,
studded with 60 ruby seconds,
but
Don’t bother to look for it.
It has gone forever
That wonderful golden day that I lost today.

Welcome to ALA-K

Greetings from the office of Adventist Lawyers Association.

One of the objectives of ALA is to set up a forum wherein the members can interact and exchange ideas on matters that are of concern to them.

We continue to have monthly Vespers and are grateful to the Union for facilitating the same and allowing us to meet at the LMS every last Friday of the month.

On the other hand it is noted that in our meetings, we are always hard pressed of time and we are not able to fully compare notes and exchange/develop ideas on matters that are of interest to us.

This is just the beginning but, we also hope to have a page that has updates on various legal cases that are of special interest to the Seventh Day Adventist.

It is possible that in the future, the site can also provide a forum for those seeking job placement in the legal field.

In essence, it is for us to determine what we want and for now it suffices to say that it would be beneficial if we are all part of this initiative.

We would be pleased to get feedback from you.
