ekene247: What if the supposed client drafted a will or agreement that truly reflected his intentions in the ordinary use of language? The courts wouldn't respect that? Also why should laws particularly designate lawyers as the lawful drafters of an agreement? What is the benefit of such a weird law to the general public? 1 Like |

Rainmaker69: Does the code of conduct oblige a lawyer to reject a brief he cannot handle? And why aren't lawyers especially specialists advertising their skills to the general public? If I need a maritime lawyer would a regular Joe in the legal profession suffice? |

jidxin: The problem with most posts on NL is that they talk past the post they are replying to. You didn't address my concerns about the public good derived from having only lawyers draft deeds. In respect to a will, a holographic will doesn't have to be registered. The purpose of a will is to fulfill the wishes of a dying man to this loved ones. How personal can that be 1 Like |

Kay17: The rules require lawyers to handle their briefs professionally. This includes reaching out to specialists or doing the necessary research when the lawyer is out of his depth. A lawyer's duty is not to know every law but to know where to find the law. The same rules of conduct in Nigeria prohibit advertising. 1 Like |

Re: 13 Hidden Secrets Lawyers Won’t Tell Their Client by Kay17: 9:16am On Feb 25, 2017 |
Rainmaker69: When you said the rule requires lawyers to handle their briefs professionally which includes reaching out to specialists, is it your own personal belief that acting professionally carries the implicit meaning that specialists ought to reached when the situation arises or you are relying on an express provision from the code saying so or a case decided by an appellate court stating so. Which is it? Why should advertising be prohibited? Imagine if other professions of comparable value to the general public like medicine restricted their advertising. Or pharmaceutical companies refuse to advertise life saving medicine how devastating would that be? |

[quote author=SweetBoyFriend post=54036752][color=#770077][b] What type of drugs are you on ?? Stupidity pills ?? If you would copy an article from a crappy website written by a drunk dude at least try to edit it Copy and paste is an unintelligent act, you forgot to remove the dollar in that writeup and replace it with naira ?? Let me school you a little bit, even if the writeup is correct, the dude who wrote it might live in Florida, every state in the USA has a different law, that your crappy lawyer write up doesn't work in Wisconsin or Ohio A lawyer in the USA would never do that type of insincere business, people in the USA would sue a toothpaste company that says that their toothpaste whitens the teeth while it doesn't, just think about what would happen to a lawyer who exhibit some shady act, he will loose his please please a law student should counter this. |

law001: A lady must have written this or I bet a wig. "Out of the ignorance of many shall a lawyer profit" If you think it's easy, I have seen a friend lose 235 million naira cash he invested in the business of a,friend. Till date the money can't be recovered cos of a,badly drafted contract agreement. He had done similar thing in the past for some fee, simply copy paste with consulting a lawyer n here he is today. Not even the efcc could help him recover his money. Learn to always be guided by legal advise. You will be much safe that way. I rise. 2 Likes |

Kay17: Interesting... the provisions of the code that call for professionalism are express. The expectations of professionalism are universal, every profession has these expectations, you won't find an exhaustive list in any "express provision". They aren't informed by my 'own personal belief' or a decision of an 'appellate court' (even though there are several that talk about unprofessional conduct for lawyers). I don't have to be a lawyer to know that paying money to a judge is unprofessional. The issue of advertising is left to them determine. It is regulated by their law in the same way that advertisement of tobacco, drugs and pharma products are regulated by law. You will find out that some professions have restrictions as to the way and manner in which they advertise. I think the restriction for lawyers is quite outdated because the uk permits restricted advertising. |
