A Nairobi court will today rule on whether LSK will be allowed to participate in the case where Brian Mwenda is accused of impersonating a High Court lawyer.
Milimani chief magistrate Lukas Onyina said he will rule today (Thursday) at 2 pm.
The parties will also argue bail terms for Mwenda.
Lawyers led by John Khaminwa and Danstan Omari representing Mwenda opposed the Law Society of Kenya president's participation in the proceedings.
Khaminwa argued that LSK should not be victims (complainants) in the case as they would ask the President of LSK Eric Theuri and even the prosecution counsel to be either state witnesses or defence witnesses.
In response, Theuri said the LSK is directly affected as the umbrella of all lawyers.
