High Court judge, Justice Slyvia Chirawu-Mugomba, has been appointed chairperson of the Council for Legal Education (CLE), a statutory body that regulates legal education and training in Zimbabwe.
Justice Chirawu-Mugomba takes over from Justice Annie-Mary Gowora, now judge of the Constitutional Court, following the expiry of her term.
In a recent published extra-ordinary Gazette, Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi also named Deputy Attorney-General Mrs Fortune Chimbaru, Dr Innocent Maja, law lecturer Mr Rogers Matsikidze, Mutare-based lawyer Mrs Memory Mandingwa, Harare lawyer Mr Vulindlela Sibanda and the ministry’s strategic policy planning and legal research director Mr Tapiwa Godzi, as members of the council.
The members were appointed in terms of the Legal Practitioners Act and will serve for three years with effect from August 31, 2021.
The general activities of the council concern public interest and regulatory matters and centre on the council’s responsibilities for the quality and provision of legal training required to be undertaken by any holder of a law qualification from within or outside Zimbabwe, wishing to be admitted as a legal practitioner in the High Court of Zimbabwe.
The CLE is statutory body constituted under the Legal Practitioners Act.
It was established in 1992.
