Every once in a while, you come across a person of such exceptional qualities that you wish you could share them with the rest of humanity, at least those you can interact with. This past week I was lucky to meet and interact with such a man: Senior Counsel Pheroze Nowrojee, 83.
This is a Kenyan lawyer who has lived a full life of legal soldiering for causes he believes in and whose life, work and thought should inspire many for his tenacity, clarity and energy. In an engagement with young lawyers in the region Pheroze cut the very figure of the kind of legal pugilist you want in your corner when the bell goes and the fight is signalled. Nimble, supple and light on his feet, he is also a poet, a water colour painter and an avid reader of literary works in his spare time.
