AI has had several contacts with lawyers and judges in Malawi. In 2006, AI liaison visited the country to speak to several key people including the solicitor- general, judges, the director of the human rights commission and several other state counsels and prosecutors.
Despite the desire by Christian lawyers in Malawi to organize themselves as a group, most of their members are mostly outside the country on assignments or on study programs.
Christian Lawyers are very active in the private and public sectors, promoting human rights, assisting the church and missionaries with their various legal needs. Current advocate in Malawi is Pacharo Kayila.
