I made a post yesterday concerning my missing brother and how I was told on phone that they will burn him

https://www.nairaland.com/6974692/vigilante-held-brother-enugu-threatened

Well to the glory of God he was found in police station this morning with wounds all over him. The police said that he walked into the station by himself and has not alter a word since then. I told my parent to take him to hospital and he's receiving treatment.
By the grace of almighty God, I believe he will regain his senses and talk

I want to use this medium to thank everyone that said a word of prayer to my brother, lot of nairalander even called to check on him. Nairaland is a great family. I pray Almighty God will bless you all

Thank God he's been found. He'd be fine, just give him time.

Meanwhile, please remove your brother's picture and phone number from the previous thread for security reasons.

I will be eating while viewing couples status on WhatsApp.
Infact, let me go and tell them not to make waistbead status, they should make it short cos there are plenty couples own I'd still view, I nor like holdup abeg.

Learn your sample drafts, don’t rush a question
The answers are hidden there. As you are reading slowly start writing on the back of answer booklets the topics, you have to know the topic the question is coming from.
For example Charles instructed his lawyer in the airport to evict his tenant.
Question 1. Comment on the propriety or otherwise of the lawyer receiving instructions at the airport.
Question 2? What is the first step to take in achieving his instruction?
3. Draft the first step.
Question 4what other documents should accompany the first step,
5. If the tenant is owing 11 million for the year which court should you approach?
6. Draft the heading of the court you mentioned in no 5?

From the above question the topic are recovery of premises, rules of professional conduct.
If you know this topic well you can answer the questions correctly.

I bought a Sample Draftbook for all courses, I'd definitely follow your tips.

Lol we haven't reached this topic yet oh@ recovery of premises.
But yes, I know that rule of professional conduct.

Thank you nevertheless.

Goodluck with the externship

I can't think of any compulsory questions for Corporate Law Practice, just study past questions and know what to expect. Also learn how to fill the CAC forms appropriately

Thank you a million times.

You know good music...Oxlade is a genius. Get frenemies too, you will enjoy it

Yes sure thing. You know that song is from Basketmouth's latest album yeah? Try listening to others and let me get your feedback.

Thank you, I'd definitely check "Frenemies".

KingLennon:
PR stunt or a mistake.. . All it's a cash-out



I love the guy sha, listening to Basketmouth ft Oxlade and Efya--Money

That song has been on repeat for two days now. I absolutely love it.

The three tips i posted above were the only things i did to pass, though i used summary handouts i.e 'my notes' for support. I honestly didn't use a textbook, though they contain broader info.

Citing of cases and sections aren't as vital in Law school as in Uni, but knowledge and application of them help as well. You should definitely know the Principles and exceptions

If you study the past questions, you'd observe that Law School questions are applied questions and knowledge of Legal principles is a must

I advice you focus on 2016/2017-2021 past questions

I forgot to add, learn ALL drafts in Civil Litigation because you'll be required to draft virtually all. In my time, we drafted nothing less than 20 processes in the exam

Also learn CHARGES in Criminal Litigation, it's definitely coming out

In Professional skills and ethics, learn how to calculate legal fees, among other things.

Oh I see. I'd start forming my notes this week sef. Our externship is in March.

Alright, I'd focus on the principles and its exceptions then. Thank you for this timely tip.

@past questions. I'd do focus on 2015-2021 then.

Jeeez! I'd have to learn all Civil Litigation drafts? Those things are bulky oh.

Yes, I know that Charges is a compulsory question in Criminal Litigation. The Lecturers said it also.
Do you know about any compulsory question in Corporate Law Practice?

Thank you so much.

Hello

I'm a lawyer and i studied in Lagos campus

I'd like to give you some crucial pieces of advice:

1.Study past questions, preferably, all of the preceding three to four years i.e 2017 - 2021. Study each of the years distinctly and for all courses, do so religiously. Doing so would actually help serve as a guide to preparing for your Bar finals

2. When answering MCQ questions, make sure you split the time evenly for all courses, because just an hour is given to answer 20questions each in all five courses. I strongly advice that you start by answering 10 each from all courses and thereafter attempt the remaining. Succeeding in MCQ is pivotal in passing the exams

3. When writing Corporate Law Practice, you'll be asked to fill a form on registering a company etc. Ensure you fill ALL slots, leave none empty

I honestly believe this is expo for you, i'm actually sure about it

I wish you the best in your quest to become a new wig

Thank youuuuuuuuuu so much.

You've been most helpful. I'm grateful for this advice.

Please I want to ask a question. Reading textbooks isn't necessary right? Because to me, it's bulky and time consuming.
Then again, we were told to just focus more on the principles of law, that cases and sections aren't that important. Under exam condition, how can one cite the case(s).
Is it like in Uni days where we'd write the facts and what the court held?
OR
See Mojeku v. Mojeku for rights of females to inherit properties

Please I need to clarify this.

About the MCQ, I'd focus on it and time myself when practicing it. This means I shouldn't focus on year 2009- 2015 right? Cos it's Hella bulky too!

Thank you for the tip on the CAC form too.

Thank you so much Sir.

Skyclub14:

Cheers.

Skyclub14:
If it is possible to represent myself ..I can do it and win the case even though I’m not a lawyer ..

Yes, it's also possible to represent yourself actually.
But it's going to be a lot better if you have legal representation.

Skyclub14:
I can afford a lawyer but not a very expensive one..20-50k just to make me to court and represent me
