Kenyan legal system is drawn from the English legal system and heritage, and so is the position of Senior Counsels (SC ) borrowed from the English, Queen’s Counsel (QC). Senior counsels in Kenya are privileged with an allocation of special court seats, are allowed to wear special robes, and are given preference in dealing with the judiciary, among other privileges.
Section 20 of the Advocates Act in Kenya also provides the senior counsel precedence in addressing the court before any advocate, only the Attorney General and the Director of Public Prosecutions precede them.
