4,412 New Lawyers Get Inaugurated In Abuja

Four thousand, four hundred and twelve new legal practitioners were on Monday, inaugurated at the Body of Benchers Headquarters in Abuja.

Chairman, of the body, Justice Mary Ukaego Peter Odili, a retired Supreme Court Justice expressed at the inauguration that the Nigerian judiciary now has a committee that will address the problem of conflicting judgments being churned out by some judges at the state level.

Justice Odili added that the committee was put in place amidst heightened criticism and dwindling public trust in the country’s courts.

Odili explained that the committee, comprising high-ranking members of the Nigerian judiciary, is working assiduously to address incidents of conflicting judgments as the courts work hard to regain public trust.

She, however, urged the new lawyers who were called to the Nigerian Bar to avoid the temptation of being caught up in media trial.
