Description

In the 1990s, financial markets in the United States boomed. The Dow Jones Industrial Index—a widely quoted index of the values of 30 large corporations (see Chapter 8 )—rose from a level of 2,800 in January 1990 to more than 11,000 by the end of the decade; this compares to a move from 100 at its inception in 1906 to 2,800 eighty-four years later. In the early 2000s, as a result of an economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere, this index fell back below 10,000. The index rose to over 14,000 in July 2007, but (because of an increasing mortgage market credit crunch, particularly the subprime mortgage market) fell back to below 13,000 within a month of hitting the all-time high. By 2008, problems in the subprime mortgage market escalated to a full blown financial crisis and the worst recession in the United States since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones Industrial Arerage (DJIA) fell to 6,547 in March 2009 before recovering, along with the economy, to over 11,000 in April 2010.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF KENYA'S LEGAL SYSTEM Trending!
The history of Kenya’s Judiciary can be traced to the East African Order in Council of 1897 and the Crown regulations made there under which marked the beginning of a legal system in Kenya. It was based on a tripartite division of subordinate courts; that is, Native courts, Muslim courts and those staffed by Administrative officers and Magistrates. A dual system of superior courts was also established, one court for Europeans and the other for Africans. This system only lasted for 5 years. Upon the realization by the colonial authorities of the need to have dispute resolution organs, village elders, headmen and chiefs were empowered to settle disputes as they had done in the pre-colonial period.
