Follow these steps to successfully join a virtual court hearing of the Supreme Court of Kenya.
Review the daily cause list published on this website to confirm your matter is scheduled and the platform to be used.
Download and install the relevant platform app (Zoom, Teams) on your device, or use a supported web browser.
Ensure your display name matches your full name and role (e.g., "Jane Doe – Advocate for Petitioner").
Only join via the link provided in the cause list or through the official Registry communication. Do not share links.
Keep your microphone muted and video off until you are addressed by the Court. Background noise disrupts proceedings.
Treat the virtual sitting with the same formality as an in-person hearing. Do not record proceedings. Rise when addressed.

Contact the Registry immediately at registry@supremecourt.go.ke or the phone number listed on the cause list. Do not attempt to use an alternative link not provided by the Registry.
Recording of court proceedings in any form — audio, video, screenshot — is strictly prohibited unless express permission is granted by the Court. Violation may constitute contempt of court.
Inform the Registry as soon as possible. The Court may, at its discretion, adjourn the matter or proceed if you are the observer rather than a party. Parties should always have a backup connection.
Yes. Orders made in virtual sittings have the same legal force and effect as those made in physical hearings. Service by electronic means is also valid under the Supreme Court Rules.
