Senior Joseph Kyazze of @magna_advocates once told us in class that “there’s no monopoly of knowledge. Once you get a pc, you’re responsible for your decisions in court—you can’t always claim you were taught by him. He can’t guarantee understanding or excellence” 😂😂😂
I will say it and you will abuse me. The quality of your lecturers determines your graduates. Just look at your law lecturer experience page, scholarly prints, precedent record, training facilitation before you argue. Some of you are taught by people who hold no precedent in a 200m Chief Magistrates Court.

After seeing this lineup, I genuinely can't see Nottingham Forest getting a single shot on target today.

For those fans whose optic nerves have been damaged by Arsenal football, I urge you to tune in to Man City for some beautiful football. Pure art, pure aesthetics. You’ll thank me later.

AI won’t go to gym with a CEO of a bank. AI won’t play golf with an investor AI won’t meet the President. AI won’t be in sauna with company secretary AI won’t be in a pool with the Tax Manager. Don’t despise the power of relationships

Replying to @Simpolo_10
My problem is the sense of satisfaction with knowledge among young lawyers; guys don’t want to disturb themselves with emerging trends, even if they are free of charge. Uni of Oxford in partnership with UNESCO offer free AI courses for free but you will be surprised!

You can do your research, review, drafts etcetera and land on stupid judges like Ssekaana, Baguma, Kinobe, Singiza, etc—and you’ll swallow your great research skills sir @Simpolo_10. As @IsaacSsemakadde said, you can’t be a great lawyer in a country that doesn’t respect rule of law. You can’t only be a fraud like Null and Void and others of the same feathers. Ugandan lawyers should actually be ashamed of calling ourselves lawyers in such an environment that we can’t collectively shun. It’s embarrassing.
AI already beats most junior lawyers at research, review, and first drafts. It will swallow the bulk of that work in 3-5 years. A junior lawyer whose ai knowledge is > 8/10 will only stay relevant. Dear employers, ask about ai knowledge during hiring processes.

#MeetTheTeam Meet Aloysius Onyait, Partner at HAB Advocates and Head of our Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution practice. Aloysius appears before the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Uganda, handling corporate disputes, shareholder disagreements, employment and electoral matters, and regulatory enforcement. He pairs sharp litigation with arbitration and mediation where a faster, quieter resolution serves the client better. His path is unusual. He served 18 years with the Uganda Police, then worked as a legal officer at Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) and led security and investigations at Umeme, Stanbic Bank Uganda and Uganda Breweries Limited before going into private practice. He was also central to the 2017 pilot Plea Bargain project across the Magistrates' Courts of Mukono, Lugazi and Kayunga. He holds an LLB from @MakerereLaw and a Diploma in Legal Practice from @LDC_Uganda Learn more about Aloysius here lnkd.in/dQiY-8XJ #HABAdvocates #Litigation #ArbitrationUganda #DisputeResolution #Uganda

That’s true—being introduced to the practice by @kiizaeron , Mr. John Fischer Kanyemibwa, Mr. Joseph Kyazze , @DeusEsq and @JoelBasoga did an excellent work in shaping who I am today. 😁 Forever indebted.
The best thing that can happen to anyone as a young professional is a good mentor. Can't imagine the number of mistakes and errors I would have made if I didn't have anyone to hold my hand and show me the way.

Meet Lillian Olupot Tukamureba, Senior Associate at HAB Advocates and Head of our Corporate and Commercial practice. Lillian advises multinationals, regional businesses and fast-moving tech companies on contract drafting and negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, and private equity. Her time in telecoms at Sure Telecom Uganda (SMART Telecom) gave her hands-on experience with software licences, vendor contracts and UCC compliance, while her work in the Directorate of Legal Affairs at @Makerere University sharpened her skills in governance and public sector compliance. She began her career at the Chief Magistrate's Court in Tororo, which informs the way she drafts: every contract is written with the possible dispute in mind. Lillian holds an LLB (Hons) from @UCUniversity , A Centre of Excellence in the Heart of Africa and a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice from @LDC_Uganda Learn more about Lillian Olupot Tukamureba here lnkd.in/dbisXaQU #HABAdvocates #CorporateLaw #MergersAndAcquisitions #CommercialContracts #Uganda

What’s your point—briefly.
What is "AI knowledge"? I think some people see posts of guys in tech talking about setting up multiple agents doing complex coding tasks and they assume that's how other sectors use AI. But also AI will give you bullshit if used by someone without knowledge of the fundamentals of the topic. You'll always need junior lawyers to sense check the AI's output, they'll just have a heavier workload.
