The Nigerian system is such that certain practices are just there because thats the way they have been.
I have researched and asked questions about the justifications for spending 5 years in the university and another one year at the law school just to qualify as a practicing Lawyer. More over if you are delving into thee academia, you are expected to bag a masters degree just to start. Haha, ladies nko.
I don't think it's like this in other parts of the world. Talk of the UK and USA. I know that in the US system, the Juris Doctor is even way beyond a masters degree.
If you study Law for 3 years in the UK, you can come and spend just one year at the law school in Nigeria and you are qualified as the man that spent 6 years.
It also beats my imagination why the law school cannot be regarded as a degree awarding institution in a way that all those reading with tears (as I did during our days) will be on Masters degree . This way, you don't need a separate masters after Law school. I think the system here is wack.

I'm sure foreign graduates of law are allowed to spend a year in law school? Studying law in U.K for example would really drill you well in the Nigerian law. I stand to be corrected though...But I definitely know most countries in Europe spend 3 years for law
