AI, Free Speech & Adultery in Court: Rwanda’s Top Lawyer Richard Mugisha Speaks Out

In this explosive episode of The Long Form, I sit down with Richard Mugisha, one of Rwanda’s most prominent lawyers and Senior Partner at Trust Law Chambers. Mugisha opens up about his 20+ year legal career, the future of law in the age of AI, and his landmark 2018 petition at the Supreme Court challenging the criminalization of adultery. We also dive into the evolution of free speech in Rwanda, legal integration in East Africa, and the challenges of practicing law across borders. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in Rwandan and African politics, law, free speech, AI, and the future of justice.
