Eastern Kenya) is a Kenyan lawyer, intellectual, reform activist, and,
since June 2011, the Chief Justice of Kenya and President of the Supreme
Court of Kenya.

Nairobi in the 1970s and a Master of Laws from the University of Dar es

Mutunga joined the law faculty at the University of

received his Doctorate of Laws from the Osgoode Hall Law School at York
University in Toronto.
