she should go to New York and be called to bar there.
Religious fanatics

Many Nigerian Christians are hypocrites!

American Law and British Common Law and system are not the same nah, nah wah ooo

You dey see any lawyer for US wear gown? People this issue is DOA; we should not let it be used in stoking religious sentiments it is just a waste of national anger.

The difference is as clear as a particular FMCG beverage.

For that academically challenged defender of the faith...the first picture is from a British courtroom, the second is from an American courtroom.

The NBA chairman is very stupid!!

Nigerian law is so confusing....

One.minute you see a 'senior' lawyer arguing for something using the constitution next minute another senior lawyer argues against it using the same constitution...perhaps another subsection paragraph abc..

You rarely see a british lawyer quoting constitution up and down

Anyone care to quote the law and interprete it here or its the usual

But I can’t believe this is actually coming from President of NBA. Very unfortunate.

She was able to be sworn-in while wearing a hijab, because obviously, the New York Bar cannot legally prevent her from attending the ceremony in a hijab.
The entity would face a religious discrimination lawsuit, and most likely lose such a lawsuit.

Some people are brainless. What is wrong with the Hijab?

Nothing is wrong with the hijab. But if the instruction says do not wear hijab then you either comply or forfeit.

If your religious beliefs forbid you from dressing in a particular way that members of a professional group dress, then it is first of all sinful for you to decide to belong to that profession in disregard to your religion and hope that they will change their standard of dressing to accommodate you. This is what we should be talking about, not about whether or not decision of Body of Benchers was right or wrong.

See your President's daughter last year when she was called to bar.

I have been to Turkey, a country that is 90% Muslim and and they hadly wear hijab. Are they going to hell by Naija Muslims standard.

You justification is baseless

I now see the reason why most of you guys follow your GOs fo0ishly and 5enselessly

The standard doesn't change whether human beings follow it or not

The marking scheme for an exam doesn't change even if almost all the class use a wrong method.

beautiful lawyer

This article is about
Judicial dress. For dress for
noble courts, see Court uniform and dress. Court dress comprises the style of clothes prescribed for courts of law, and for royal courts. Commonwealth
countries Short wigs as worn in court
by advocates (left) and
judges (right) in several
Commonwealth countries. United Kingdom The Supreme Court Main article: Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United Kingdom § Dress Members of the old Judicial Committee of the House of
Lords (or "Law Lords" and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council never wore court dress (although
advocates appearing before
them did). Instead they
were dressed in ordinary
business clothing. Since the
creation of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in 2009, the Justices of that
court have retained the Law
Lords' tradition of sitting
unrobed. On ceremonial
occasions they wear a robe of black damask embellished with gold with
the logotype of the Supreme Court embroidered at the yoke. England and Wales Where court dress is
worn Court dress is worn at
hearings in open court in all Senior Courts of England and
Wales and in county courts. However, court dress may
be dispensed with at the
option of the judge, e.g. in very hot weather, and
invariably where it may
intimidate children, e.g., in
the Family Division and at the trials of minors. Court dress is not worn at hearings in chambers or in magistrates' courts.

I bet you did no hear "In character and in learning"...if you were a graduate or you don't know what it entails.

Honestly your comment is the worst I read in this thread. Please Nigeria is secular state.

The foool making reference to Buharis daughter is nothing but a mor0n.

So Buharis and his family members have now become standard for Islamic religious practice?

The way people draw up useless justifications a times makes me wonder if they have brains at all¿

Rubbish
U spend 6yrs studying Nigeria law only to decide to disobey the law at the end. If the Nigerian law profession is not good for their kind of Islam, why study it?
Islam permits beating of someone's wife, so assuming this girl becomes a judge and the issue of assault is brought to her by a hajiya, she will place the tenets of Quran above the law.

She is better off studying Islamic studies. Secular law is a haram, as long as the quran is not the Constitution, rather the Constitution was coined by unbelievers, then she has no business with it. She should have concentrated on becoming a sharia lawyer.

HYPOCRITES

Why don't you ashame of yourself to be proud of Nigeria law above Law of God?

you are a fool
should Law go against human right

This is very simple, allow her to be called to bar with the hijab and that automatically allows everyone to come to the bar in their religious outfits. I dont think they want that chaos.

she's not the standard
say something else

It is shameful to know the bias mindset of people is adversely affecting their sense of judgement.

I'm no law student but I do know that rules can be amended,just like constitutions to stand the dynamics of we humans over the sands of time.

what we should be rather discussing is, 'DID THE LAW CONSIDER THE BELIEFS OF ALL CITIZENS' before making its provisions? Your guess is as good as mine.

For those saying was she the only Muslim called to bar? yes she isn't the only Muslim but the only one courageous enough to vehemently stand for her fundamental right irrespective of what literates yet uneducated would say.

lawyers in the USA doesn't wear the wig and gown,they don't even have a specific dress code because I have seen American lawyers appear in court dressed in blue suits.I want to see lawyers in Britain and other secular Commonwealth countries with a similar dress code with Nigeria admit a female lawyer wearing a hijab then I would take this serious.

This is what i have been saying this particular dresscode should be banned.That way everyone can dress the way they like by putting on anything e.g. Hijab,burqa,niqab and others.The council of legal education should learn from this.

When men are stronger than institutions then u will see people that are religiously over the Law.

Imagine this low life idiot is the president of NBA in Nigeria?




Do lawyers in the USA wear wigs? Do they have the mode of dressing that we have?



A lawyer in the USA only need to wear his/her suit. But in Nigeria here lawyers have their uniform which is a gown and wig
