Nigerian Law School Releases Aug 2018 Results, Sets Dates For Call To Bar, As 161 Candidates Bag First Class

The Nigerian Law School has recorded for the first time in history, the highest number of candidates graded in the first class honour, and of course, the highest number of success rate.

TheNigerialawyer (TNL), gathered from the Result Sheet dated the 17th day of October 2018, and signed by the Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof. Isa Hayatu Chiroma, SAN, that a total number of 161 candidates bagged the first class honour.

In an exam participated by 5,846 candidates, 4,633 emerged victorious as successful candidates indicating that 79.25% passed which is approximately 80% of the pass rate.

The result shows that 218 (3.73%) had conditional pass, with 965 (16.15%) candidates failing the bar finals, while a total of 30 candidates which is just 0.51%, being absent.

In other categories, 695 candidates (11.88%) were graded in the Second Class Upper Division, while 1,276 (21.83%) were graded in the Second Class Lower Division. A total number of 2, 501 (42.78%) were also graded with Pass as released.

The result, without doubt, shows that the 2018 Bar Finals Results is the best ever in the History of the Nigerian Law School. Recall that this is the first bar finals examination for a session ever conducted by the current Director General of the Nigerian Law School, Prof. Isa Hayatu Chiroma, SAN.

The call to bar ceremony has been therefore fixed for the 27th, 28th and 29th day of November 2018, following the change of date for the ceremony as announced by the Distinguished Body of Benchers in a notice released earlier this month.

TheNigerialawyer (TNL) therefore congratulates the soon-to-be-called wigs, as they warm themselves up as prospective gentlemen of the bar.

Awnn.. This post ushered a very sad memory to my brain. A brother of mine, Quadri Olaniran , a first class student of Ife university , also a former president of IfeLaw, died last year, just three weeks to his call to bar.

9 years of higher institutional study vanished just like that.

To all the lucky ones graduating this year, Congrats to you guys. May Jah continue to keep you safe.

iamdrfresh:

I do however think that the number of law graduates should be regulated

too many jobless lawyers nowadays
