Why 10th-Lining is Crucial for Kenyan Advocates
In the Court of Appeal of Kenya, strict compliance with formatting standards is required for all Records of Appeal. Specifically, Rule 12 mandates that every tenth line in a page margin must be numbered to facilitate rapid referencing during oral arguments and submissions.
Manually adding line numbers or using complex typesetting tools is slow, error-prone, and frustrating. The WakiliGO 10th-Lining tool automates this process entirely, ensuring legal documents are formatted and numbered within seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries regarding 10th-lining, privacy, and court specifications.
?What is 10th-lining in Kenyan Courts?
10th-lining is the process of numbering every tenth line (10, 20, 30, etc.) in the margin of court documents. The Kenyan Court of Appeal rules require this specific format so that advocates and judges can easily refer to specific lines in a record during oral arguments.
?How does the WakiliGO automated indexing tool work?
Simply upload your PDF court record or bundle. Our tool automatically processes the document pages, identifies text lines, overlays compliant 10th-line markers, and generates a formatted PDF. You can then use our interactive editor to preview and adjust alignment before downloading.
?Is my legal document data secure on WakiliGO?
Absolutely. We do not store your documents permanently. Files are held in encrypted temporary storage on Supabase for processing. Once you finish or clear your session, your files are deleted. No one has access to your documents except you.
?Can I adjust the alignment of the numbers?
Yes! Our tool features an interactive ruler tool. If you notice any lines are misaligned with the text, you can drag the ruler indicator to adjust the numbers horizontally or vertically, ensuring a pixel-perfect, compliant output.
?Do I need to install any software?
