The Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo has urged lawyers and stakeholders in the justice sector to be prepared for the times ahead by finding alternative and better ways of delivering legal and associated services.

In his keynote address at the Virtual Law Pavilion Technology Conference which had the theme “A New Paradigm in Justice Delivery”.

“There are already apps updated to the latest positions in legislation and case law. The lawyer must become a multi-disciplinary, multi-tasking tech savvy person of affairs,” recalling a description he gave to students of law at a recent function.

Osinbajo maintained that technology and the innovations it entail has defined a new way of life, taking technology away from the realms of luxury into the arena of everyday endeavours whether in the professions or in matters of lifestyle generally.

According to the Vice President, “No one believed the day would come when the Supreme Court would, as it has now done, endorse Virtual Court Proceedings. Or that the day will come when e-filing of court processes will be considered medically safer than physical filing of court processes.
Today, even judges, especially older ones, will of course prefer virtual processes to in-person proceedings. Technology and the fourth industrial revolution, are no longer luxuries but they are the inevitable substructure of our new way of life.

“For the administration of justice system, change has surely come and I am personally excited to see how easily our entire judicial system is willingly adapting to innovation.”

While admonishing the lawyers and other stakeholders in the justice sector to brace up for the times ahead.

He said “the next few years will see even more changes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a bigger role in our court systems, I am told that Law Pavilion is already pioneering an AI-Powered-Speech-to-Text- Transcription System to replace writing in long hand and even the traditional slow stenographic recording.

“There is also the AI-Powered Document Review System that helps judges quickly extract authorities and laws cited in any legal documents, outlines and analyses the principles relied upon automatically, in seconds. This is aside from the comprehensive court proceedings software that they have now perfected.”

Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo said “…nothing can ever be the same again. Legal practice is also in a flux. Artificial Intelligence will make research a million times faster, the lawyer may no longer be required for several categories of legal advice.


Also at the event, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed; the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Paul Usoro, SAN, and others addressed the theme of the 2020 Legal Tech Conference

Our judicial system must be upgraded if we are to enjoy a better Nigeria because the way the level of corruption is increasing is putting our democracy in danger. Nice one Mr VP

Quite right. For the lovers of series movies, there's an America series, "All rise'" where the last episode was aired virtually; the judge had a successful court session virtually via zoom. This, if inculcated in our judicial system (court proceedings), will help to fast track trials.

They must not become scammers like you

This is the good avice from VP Yemi Osinbajo,all the lawyers and the incoming ones should adopt a new technology to help delivering a good justice

��

Otnly to come and be a puppet to a certificateless man wherewith all his qualifications he can't even make a meaningful impact.

Osibanjo swerve abeg.

The future of a younger lawyer is brighter, the judge had a successful court session virtually meeting. This is inculcated in our judicial system (court proceedings), we will surely Bouncing Back the track
