you truly believe that? how many law schools are in Nigeria and what is the capacity of each one? if everyone passed the exam do you really think all the law schools would have the capacity to accommodate them?
the law board passes a certain percentage of applicant for each exam irrespective of the number that applied for it. check last year's pass rate.

Edit: I don't believe that the educational system in law schools are deteriorating. a graph is drawn of the total exam score and a certain percentage is taken as the cut off Mark. you might have passed the exam but if your score is below that Mark, you don't pass.
however, considering the cost of the exam, setting such high standards could be harmful.

kkkk

Why would someone pay N300,000 and refuse to take his book seriously. No body failed them, they refuse to read while their mate were burning the mid-night canddle and got paid back with a first class and 2nd class upper.

BREAKING NEWS : Oscar pistoria sentence to 5 year in prisonment.. For commiting homicide and posection of fire arm.

You think an adult can cough out 300k tuition fee and still refuse to read?

They didn't fail, someone failed them in the name of raising standard. 400,000 failure out of 600,000 is ridiculous.

This is certainly what you get when the candidates spend more time on social media.

I am not surprised! it is not the lawyer that passed through Law school asked a man in the pension fraud to pay a sum of 750k as fine for stealing Billions. Abi it is not another Lawyer that passed through the Law school stole the people's mandate and gave it to APC in the South West. I hope you guys haven't forgotten Ibori case as well. They should better fail them all.

my dad, who is s federal high court judge told me that the judges are complaining over increasing number of unemployed barristers on the street, that it is making the noble profession looks ordinary and with time, people will start disrespecting the profession by the time barristers start settling for meager jobs to make ends meet. they blamed the universities and particularly the law school for graduating barristers higher than the law stipulated for them. may be this mass failure is connected to this. ..just saying sha

This is selfishness on the side of the judges. Does that mean others should not study law Just because There are plenty lawyers around?

why wont they fail with this type of grammar

QMark:
What do you expect in a failed Nigeria education system?

When they fail, the story becomes "THEY FAILED US"

THAT IS A NIGERIAN GRADUATE FACEBOOK POST

I think they just want to maintain the relevance of the profession. I don't really know sha...but I believe even you will admit that the profession is becoming something else. They just want to tell us that for you to be called to bar, you have to be tighten your belt and be serious. I've seen barristers that cannot even make good statements, they dress like touts and know next to nothing about the law. The elders in the profession are not happy about this. Now, this news headline will force the upcoming law students to be serious. truth be told, those that passed get two heads ni?

Is there not break-down in the Judiciary system in Nigeria........




.........so what's the resentment all about

I think the problem can traced back to NUC and university VCs for not regulating the numbers of students they admit into law faculties

naija for you

Even charge and Bail is not as simple as it sounds. If in doubt, commit a simple offence and get detained. You will appreciate the benefit of having someone standing around as a lawyer to get you bail

GOOD DAY MR. LAW

Presently, the best place to study Law is not Nigeria.
When things fall apart
We are no longer at ease
Nigeria has been struck by the Arrow of God
And our president is no longer the Man of the People
Beware Soul Brother
When we see Girls At War
Searching for their missing Chibok girls in the Anthills of the Savannah
Let us pray that one day Nigeria will not become There Was A Country.

I am not surprised...when they drink Postinor2 from year1 to final yr...a whole 5yrs, they will still come to law school to continue drinking Postinor2 and looking for how to sort. U cant sort law school my friend!!!

And most of them are nairalanders. They were dragging issues with me instead of being studious. The last time i checked i haven't seen a situation where someone will study hard and still fail. Am a living witness. Ask my GP!

STUDYING LAW HAS NEVER BEEN EASY
PPLE SHLD BE PREPARED VERY HARD

THOUGH THEY FAILED
YET THEY ARE NOT FAILURE

Generally law school Bar finals is known to be one of the hardest professional exams in the whole world. That being said, a situation where 4000 students fail out of 6000 is simply unacceptable. infact it is an indictment of the lecturers who taught the students and the law school system as a whole. It begs the questions whether the lecturers really impacted anything in a majority of the students if 70% of those who took the exams can fail.
The DG has to take a good look at himself. When he was taking over from Tahir Mamman last year, I told my friends just going into law school that they were lucky because he would want the first set under him to do well and the result would consequently generally be very good. Subsequent events however proved me wrong.
The DG reduced the time of MCQ from 60 minutes to 50 minutes without properly informing all the campuses and the students. MCQ that when I was doing mine few years ago, I was hardly able to finish within 60 mins, not to talk of now removing ten minutes from the time. God also knows where and how the DG set the questions. I have a friend who graduated from the university with a 2.1 and who I know to be very intelligent, but he told me that during civil litigation exam, he was basically lost and was counting the ceiling.
The problem is that the new DG is trying at all cost to prove that he is different from the old one and he did this at the expense of the students. To all those who failed, next year will be your year IJN. To those who passed and scaled the tsunami, congrats and welcome to the bar. God bless!

thank u bro. As a lawyer who has passed this very exams at the first attempt i know better than to judge anyone who fails. U have forgotten to mention how a student is being graded with the least score. It is better to have all Ds in the law school and graduate with a pass than to have all As and one F. That's an automatic failure. Also failing the LIP exams amounts to an automatic failure.

as a lawyer, i totally understand those students. Only people with little or no connection with the legal profession will criticize them. This is one exams where i maintain that it is not a true test of knowledge. That i passed at the first attempt three years ago did not make me smarter or more hardworking than those who failed.

I think there is a set standard for being called to bar which every lawyer passed through. I am totally in support of maintaining that standard to the last bit, but raising the standard Just to deter upcoming capable lawyers is what I do not support. It is selfish and frustrating.

There is a différence between raising and maintaining a standard.

Your final grade is based on your lowest score? That's unfair. It should be based on your best score, or your average score, as it would be a more accurate reflection of your one year program.

Anyway, I pray I'll pass the California bar exam in 3 years time.

This is worrisome!

The most painful thing is the grading of students by your lowest score. What kind of grading is that? Those criticizing those that failed, you won't understand. How can someone with a 4.3 GPA from university who borrowed the money for his school fees get to law school and play? He finished with a pass! It is totally unacceptable.

Something has to be done.

Even after 5 good years dummies! it takes me 3 months for one module! Iti boribos
