SweetBoyFriend:Dunno why you are pained doh... 'Lawyers' is the word used and not Nigerian Lawyers. Dollar used was to elaborate and not to restrict the viewership of the post to Nigerians alone. Post was not written for Nigerians alone but for the the Web. Fortunately, the post is written by a Nigerian lawyer and I can challenge anyone who disagrees with the post because it was written with every knowledge and background of the law in mind. |

dokyOloye: Dont worry, it gets easier with time. Just learn to adapt and try to read around the subject too. That is if you have the time. In the past, my husband had this knack of telling me that my explanations to events lacked simple logical flow and he should know cos the subject Logic was taught in their curriculum. Well, I didn't argue but went online and did a short course on logic.... quite interesting I must say... Now, even I can point out illogical statements and that my dear was how Mr Logic died in my household never to be used again in any counter statement. You too shall make it. Amen 2 Likes |

/ Every profession in the world has its share of experts and quacks. It gets worse with non-scientific professions in which sales pitch matters more than the profession itself and the results cannot be quantified. There are many intelligent and successful lawyers. Conversely, there are many lawyers still under the mango trees. Quacks dread going to court. Do they still run those evening, weekend or satelite campus law schools in Nigeria? / |

Kay17: from the way you are sounding, I now understand u are not a lawyer nor anything related to being a law student i will be overspending my time if I continue this legal intercourse with you. my final advice is, "don't ever think that lawyers spent 6 yrs in Sch and read for the rest of his life for nothing or for something a layman can do". Go back and read the case I referred u to pls |

ekene247: I never claimed to be a lawyer or law student and it would be preposterous for me to claim the wealth of knowledge a trained lawyer toiled to accumulate. Nonetheless the courts and lawyers play the role of applying the laws made by the legislature who are representatives of the general public. These representatives have the duty to create and fashion laws to suit the needs and ends of the public that elected them. Legal training is neither a prerequisite for law making but common sense and a sense of responsibility. That is why when I argued with you about wills, the legislature had in mind the effect of satisfying the wishes of a dying man and not create a legal web of forms and hurdles which could truncate the purpose the legislature had having regards to wills. |

Kay17: Lawyers draft the statutes/laws that a passed at national Assembly, in short, it is not ordinary lawyers, lawyers that have done masters and PhD in legal drafting... those law makers just debate it and pass it. again, most Wills are not that of a "dying man" as u keep on saying. Will is made mostly when one is healthy and given to the lawyer to keep. if one makes a will while dying, it may not be invalid but most likely to be invalid due to state of his health and the likelihood that he is vulnerable to deception and pressure at that point in time. Bro, don't be Penny wise and pounds foolish. Give that dime to a lawyer and it will save you a lot. go and read the case I referred u to bro. 1 Like |

Kay17:I am afraid to let you know that Lawyers are trained in the art of legislative drafting in the same bargain. Consequently, the broad hint is that the legislature has next to nothing to do with your making a will. It's a civil law affairs. |

legalpanic: I guess it was also written after interacting with ALL lawyers in the country present and future. Let me again use a live example to discredit that spurious claim. If i am briefed, my training already gives me clarity of the nature of action, whether in tort , trusts, crime, family law, etc. I carry out a synopsis of the matter with a review on case law, and i provide an opinion, unsolicited to advise whether to proceed or not. I will never go to court with clear knowledge that i have an incurable bad case, however where a client insists because he needs time to perform or perfect some acts, we can use the technicalities of the law to buy time. Recently we needed to sue a law firm that brought a garnishee Proceedings against a company. We briefed one of the most brilliant and prolific law firm around. Their representatives walked of the meeting with assurance that they will prosecute the action. A few days later they came back to share negative thoughts about the possible success of the action. They cited a case law as their authority. I conceded to their thoughts but reviewed that authority some more and came out still with the belief that i can get justice in that matter. Not all lawyers will lie to you about you having a good case even though the relevant law allows me to take up your matter without first adjuging you guilty. It is so tiring trying to to teach a non lawyer and worse, a brain dead inconsequential bent on defending points that only exist in his head. I can pick on most of the points there to discredit them and disabuse the minds of right thinking men, sadly many people here fall below that test. 1 Like |

pesinfada: I laugh. I was one of the best science students in my secondary school. When I write JAMB, it was in the era when any combination of courses could be used and guess what, i combined only sciences in JAMB entrance examinations and scored 360 out of a total of 400. While in year one studying GSS as it's called in my uni, the second semester when we were taken through science courses to enable all students get a full rounded knowledge, i scored top of the first year students. My point, i studied law because I loved it and still do, i knew the potentials and i wasn't wrong. If i had to live my life again, i will still be a lawyer. We know who the real dummies are. I can conveniently discuss your field even if at the peripheral level, but you cannot scratch the surface on my field. Mental midgets and academic lilliputs should actually be restricted to reading without commenting 1 Like |

kolado: Even if lawyers are drafting it in reality, theoretically the law makers decide what goes into the law. The substance of the law is actually decided by the lay man lawmaker. And the courts will interpret the law in accordance to the intents of the Law maker. I learnt courts in England go as far as relying on Hansard along with the letters of the law. In respect to the will, a legislation governs it and consequently the lawmakers with the aid of some unknown lawyers have decided on the substance of a typical will. Right? |

Genea: Not all of them are like that. Someone like to talk above others, have an air of superiority Others are down to earth and act like normal people, their education notwithstanding. Maybe you interacted with just the former, but I have interacted with both sets. The later set can be very pleasant company |

hardbody:Why do you always sound bitter? I have read your comment over and over again without seeing the direction. Be more specific with your arguement, eg. Point 1 or 2 or 13 is not true, then state your reasons. That way you give everybody a fair chance of learning something from your ALL-KNOWING unguided comments. |

I hope you can read and understand. If after having read the above you asked me to go and study law, then you have a warped understanding of the language known as english. Truth is, it is becoming tiring to engage with you. You are dull in understanding, honestly. |
