Supreme Court of Uganda.
The apex court of the country, hearing final appeals from the Court of Appeal. Its decisions bind every other Ugandan court and settle the most consequential questions of law.
Case law · Uganda
Ask about Ugandan law in plain language. LexChat draws on reported Ugandan cases and legislation, and pins every proposition to a citation you can open in one click.
Why it holds up
Ugandan authority is harder to track down than it should be. Printed law reports have appeared in fits and starts since the East African Law Reports era, so much of the case law lives in individually circulated judgments and scattered online collections, and confirming that a decision is still good law can mean chasing several sources at once.
LexChat searches Ugandan sources first — reported decisions of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court alongside the statute book — and reasons only over what it actually retrieved. Every proposition in an answer is pinned to a citation you can open, so checking the court's own words takes one click rather than an afternoon.
The court system
The apex court of the country, hearing final appeals from the Court of Appeal. Its decisions bind every other Ugandan court and settle the most consequential questions of law.
The intermediate appellate court, which also sits as the Constitutional Court when a case raises questions of constitutional interpretation — a distinctive feature of Uganda's judicial structure.
A superior court of unlimited original jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters, organised into specialised divisions and circuits across the country. Most reported first-instance authority begins here.
