Uganda Pentecostal University (UPU) this evening held its Grotius Annual Lawyers’ Dinner for fourth-year law students at Hotel Africana in Kampala, bringing together students, members of the Judiciary, the Uganda Law Society, and academia. The dinner was held under the theme, “Lawyers as Healers: The Obligation of the Profession to Serve as Healers of Human Conflicts” (CJ Warren E. Burger, 1982). Delivering the keynote address, the Acting Chief Registrar, HW Lamunu Pamella Ocaya, described the occasion as both a celebration and a moment of reflection for future lawyers. “It is an honour to be here with you today,” she said, noting that addressing a room full of aspiring legal professionals was no small task. “It is much easier to cross-examine a witness than to decide what to say to a room full of brilliant future colleagues,” she added. HW Lamunu shared her personal journey as a mother and wife who grew up in Gulu City in Northern Uganda, a region once affected by conflict, and rose from a humble background to serve as a member of Top Management in the Judiciary. She said the evening marked more than academic achievement, describing it as a transition into a higher calling. “You are stepping into a role as custodians of justice,” she said, urging the students to reflect not only on what lawyers do, but on who they ought to be. Expounding on the theme, HW Lamunu noted that while the legal profession is often seen as adversarial, true lawyering goes beyond winning and losing cases. “Beneath every case file is something deeply human, conflict, pain, fear, and sometimes injustice. That is where the deeper calling of the lawyer begins,” she said. Throughout her address, she emphasized humanity and humility as central values of the legal profession, noting that lawyers must always see the human being behind every file. Highlighting Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), she described mediation as a long-standing and important avenue for resolving disputes, allowing parties to be heard and to reach meaningful, lasting resolutions. “If you are engaged in mediation, you are playing the role of a healer,” she said. “It is not just about resolving a dispute, but about restoring relationships, dignity, and trust.” She added that as students enter the profession, they will be entrusted with people at their most vulnerable moments. “Your role will not only be to argue, but to listen; not only to advocate, but to understand; not only to win, but to do what is right,” she said. HW Lamunu also encouraged the students to reflect on their journey and celebrate their achievement, noting that their presence at the dinner was evidence of years of discipline, sacrifice, and resilience. She cautioned them against prioritizing profit over principle and urged them to uphold the moral authority of the legal profession. “Healing requires humanity, humility, courage, and hope,” she said. The Chief Guest, the Principal Judge, Lady Justice Jane Frances Abodo, commended the University for organizing an event that bridges legal education and practice, noting that the theme was timely and globally relevant. “The theme is on point. It reflects the conversation we are having today not only in Uganda, but globally,” she said. “I want to thank my sister, the Acting Chief Registrar, that was a powerful keynote address.” Lady Justice Abodo said the dinner was more than a social event, describing it as a platform for meaningful engagement. “This is not only a dinner; it is a space where you can pick each other’s minds, exchange ideas, and build professional networks,” she said. She reminded the students that the study and practice of law are demanding but rewarding, placing lawyers at the centre of justice delivery in society. “Law is a demanding profession,” she said. “It is also double-edged—it can be used to heal, or it can be used to harm.” She urged the students to remain conscious of the power they carry as legal professionals

Great spending time with New York City’s Cutest. And thanks to @NYCMayor for giving me an excuse to break out my best “Wheels on the Bus”

We are working with some truly talented Ugandan audio/visual geniuses! @LoukmanAli - big yourself up for this brilliant piece of work. Come let’s work for Uganda!

As a Student of Uganda Pentecostal University Kampala campus, l dearly miss him and continue to enjoy his dream of studying law at a cheaper cost. I saw him at MUK in 1997 while as a student at Caltech Academy whenever I visited Faculty of Law then. Continue to Rest in Peace

@NtambirwekiOrg @Kasabiiti Wow. How beautiful to see a foundation after my dear Law School teacher.

Today marks three years since the passing of Prof. John Ntambirweki. We carry forward his belief that knowledge belongs to everyone and that leadership begins with giving. His standards remain ours and we honour his memory through action. Forever in our hearts.

@kasujja @UgandaMediaCent @KagutaMuseveni Congratulations brother✨

I’d like to thank President @KagutaMuseveni for the great opportunity he’s given me to serve my beloved Uganda. It’s a tremendous honour and I consider it the biggest mission I have ever undertaken. I believe in Uganda!

BREAKING: Qatar's energy minister warns oil price could rise to $150 in 'two to three weeks' if tankers remain unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Financial Times report.

BREAKING: Iranian Revolutionary Guards claim they now 'control' the Strait of Hormuz

Dear fellow Americans—please learn geography of why the world is in trouble if Iran crisis spirals out of control. Also, Iran is 3.5x the size of Iraq. If the US couldn’t hold Iraq after 10 years, Trump is insane if he wants to ground invade Iran.

One of the memories from my time as a student at the the Faculty of Law, Makerere University was the afternoons I would spend discussing jurisprudence with the professors with whom I had a good relationship. One of them was John Ntambirweki. Our paradigms were parallel but developed an intellectual connection. Later it morphed into a family one. He is not with us anymore but he left us the story of his life in a book. It is now in Kampala. Go read about this Towering Trailblazer. @Kasabiiti @barnta

The Kiboga High Court Circuit Resident Judge, Justice Jamson Karemani was yesterday formally installed as a Lay Canon of the Diocese of North West Ankole during a service held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Ibanda. Justice Karemani was installed alongside Ms Byengoma Rosette, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs, in a ceremony presided over by the Bishop of the Diocese of North West Ankole, Amos Magezi. The installation followed their earlier designation during the First Meeting of the Third Synod of the Diocese, where Bishop Magezi pronounced them Lay Canon Designates in recognition of their exemplary Christian witness and service to both Church and society. The service drew clergy, judicial officers, government officials, lay leaders, family members, and congregants from across the Diocese, who gathered to witness the installation and celebrate the milestone. In his address, Bishop Magezi commended the newly installed Lay Canons for their integrity, commitment to faith, and leadership in public service, noting that the office of Lay Canon calls for continued service rooted in humility, faithfulness, and stewardship. The installation was preceded by a one-day retreat held on Saturday at Golden View Hotel, Ibanda, focusing on spiritual preparation and orientation on the responsibilities of Lay Canons within the Cathedral and the wider Diocese. The office of Lay Canon is an honorary yet functional position within the Anglican Church, bestowed upon distinguished lay Christians in recognition of faithful service and entrusted with supporting the ministry and mission of the Church.
