Hello you guys, nice to see some learned friend in the house. I have been reading all your treads with interest.

The practice of the proffession is like a football game, there will be those playing defense, midfield and attack for the team to work effectively. For instance i used to be in practice before i joined the NGO community. The point is that no matter what sector we are in we are all important and need each other to function properly.

The truth is that the senior Lawyers have made the proffession unattractive especially for new wigs who they pay what can best be described as stipends. Even the pay of the best paying law firms cannot be compared to what your mate who is at the entry level in the financial industry takes home. This is unlike what the practice is like in places like the UK or the states that have well developed legal services markets.

My advice is that every body should have a foot hold in legal practice one way or the other, because like kamikaze said the apple should not fall too far from the tree.

There are insinuations that foreigners who own businesses in Nigeria do not treat their employees so well,any body who has any experience with foreign bosses should please comment on the truthfullness or otherwise of this statement.

Please i was just called to bar last month & am currently looking for a chamber in lagos to attach myself to.I must also add that i don't know a lot of people in lagos so it has not been easy.How do i get employed in any of this chambers mentoned? Please save a fellow lawyer from being redundant.

Thank you guys for the wonderful job you are dong on this forum.I recently qualified as a lawyer,but i am not really cut out for practicing the proffesion.Does anybody know of any vacancies i can apply for? waiting for your usually helpful replies.
