They both recognized that arbitration and mediation formed part of a growing market which currently has untapped potential and was in no way encroaching the traditional markets for legal practitioners. They noted that ADR compliments litigation and is not a competitor as has been assumed especially in the counties away from the capital city. During the meeting, LSK Council members requested the Centre to come up with a curricular for capacity building for interested parties and mentorship between new and experienced practitioners. They also noted the existence of what they considered to be unqualified ADR practitioners in the market hence the need for greater quality assurance to 1 | P a g e ensure that those practicing ADR have verifiable qualifications and competences through quality assurance and practitioner accreditation. During the meeting, the President of the Law Society of Kenya Mr. Eric Theuri identified three areas that need to be considered for collaboration with the Centre. The first one he observed was collaboration on ADR Training Curriculum. The President stated that in addition to regular CPD trainings, master seminars for specialized and expanding fields such as international investment should be developed. He stressed the need for having training that is sensitive to market demands and capable of generating revenue for practitioners. The second area was the development and maintenance of quality standards in mediation and arbitration. The President noted the need to have a common framework and ethos that govern activities in certain areas of ADR such as arbitration. The President's third area of focus was panel listing and was keen to know more about the criteria used in interviewing, choosing, and appointing members to the Centre’s panel. In response to the his observations and requests, the NCIA Board Chairperson Ms. Jackline Oyuyo noted that ADR training had been given four slots on the LSK CPD Calendar and NCIA would supply technical assistance in this respect noting that these sessions are insufficient because they often consist of one-day lectures that provide little time for members to learn useful ADR skills. Moving forward, she noted that the Centre will provide subject-specific trainings on topics that may be the subject of disputes, such as ADR and corporate governance, further noting that ADR as a stand-alone topic for training was not appealing.
