Implementation of Cross Border Legal Practice

Professionals from EAC partner States fail to express a common viewpoint on the utility of immediate cross-border legal practice. Efforts should expedite the process of concluding the agreements that would allow members of the various Bar Associations to practice in any of the five countries. This situation proves how difficult is to increase the efficiency of free movement of people and services in East African Community. As the EAC envisions its future on promoting a development-based good people¿s skill, a weak fulfillment of CBLP objectives constitutes a major hindrance. There is then wondered what weakens the implementation of Cross-Border Legal Practice perspectives, more specifically in the case of Rwanda situation and the kind of strategies may be applied to achieve Cross-Border Legal Practice in the integrated East African Community. Problems such as having different rolls of advocates in each partner state, weak regulatory framework at the national levels there by making it difficult to develop one at the regional level, different political systems, language problems etc.
