Authorities of Nigeria Law School have described the claims that about 4,000 students of the institution failed its August 2014 Bar Final Examinations as untrue.

Some students of the school have in the past few days embarked on protests over what they described as mass failure in the final examination at the Nigerian Law School which is the main prerequisite for young lawyer graduates to be called to the Bar.


Nigerian Law School headquarters in Abuja
The Students had alleged that over 70 per cent of students who wrote exams in August failed the exams when the results were recently released by the School.

The Students blamed the situation of the Professor Olanrewaju Onadeko, the Director General of the School who they claimed gave instructions that a lot of scripts should be marked down for reasons they however failed to explain.

The students had consequently taken to the social media to protest what they described as the poor handling and marking of the Bar 2 final exam while calling for a review of the exercise.

But while speaking on Monday, Mrs. E.O Max-Uba, Secretary to the Council of Legal Education and Director of Administration of Nigeria Law School said contrary to the claims of the students, 57.01 per cent of those who took the exam out rightly passed.

She added that the Bar Examination is just like any other professional examination which the failure or pass rate varies from year to year.

A document made available to PM NEWS indicated that a total of 5841 regular candidates registered for the examination in the 2013/2014 academic year across the six campuses of the Law School. A further breakdown of the performance revealed that four students made 1st Class Honours while 96 students passed in the Second Class (Upper Division).

On the other hand, 620 students passed in the Second Class (Lower Division) while 2610 or 44.68 per cent of the students recorded ordinary pass. Also, 501 students recorded conditional pass because they have reference in one subject while 1932 students failed the examination. However, the failure rate was high among the Re-Sit candidates with about 1168 out of 1335 students who registered failing the examinations while 88 students recorded ordinary pass. Also, 26 of the re-sit students recorded conditional pass.

Mrs. Max Uba said that the failure rate is high among the re-sit students because some of them are either working or based outside the country.

The Secretary to the Council of Legal Education who said the ongoing protest is being led by some of the re-sit students noted that some of them have sat for the examinations four times without success because they refused to participate in revision classes always organized for them prior to the examinations.

She dismissed claims of victimization by the DG of Law School who she said does not even participate in marking of examination papers. In the same vein, Mrs Max-Uba dismissed the claims of victimization of the students by lecturers as she argued that the examination papers are not usually marked by those who set the examinations.

On whether the results will be reviewed, she said any candidate may apply for review in accordance with extant rules of the Council for Legal Education.

She however said candidates who failed the examination will only have the opportunity of a re-sit next year.

Mrs. Max-Uba also informed PM NEWS that in view of poor performance of the re-sit candidates at the August 2014 examinations, the Board of Studies of the Council of Legal Education has directed that henceforth, re-sit candidates are to attend at least, eight weeks compulsory revision classes at the Law School to the be allowed to sit for the examinations.

According to her, details of the re-sit will be announced soon.

Hmmm all these comments, just hope the next set won't be like this.
In my view, I know so many students from my faculty who were extraordinarily brilliant, who I so much believe in, but still dey made just PASS unbelievable. It got me thinking, that smth must be definitely wrong somewhere, except of course the questions itself was misleading and as such had a different interpretation in the marking scheme other than what it should've been. It will be very nice if they made the marking scheme available for general assessment, (that's if possible ooo) at least all these shouts, ranting, confusion, and panic this result is causing will be highly reduced.
Abi wetin in una think?

Just the way i got it:
The Nigerian Law School Released the 2013/2014 August Result. It was a Tsunami! Out of #6000 candidates who registered, about #2172 passed. We are talking of about #4000 mass failures.

Do we say 4000 students payed #300,000 not counting expenses for a year, feeding,books, then prepared to FAIL?

Such MASS BURIAL has NEVER been recorded in the history of Nigerian Law School. So how do we help this students?

Now the questions are:
Is our educational standards dropping or what?

How good is the result of the Bar I (foreign students result)?

Are they trying to reduce the number of lawyers?

Are they trying to tell us that the principles of law has changed?

Or please what do u think, lend ur voice please your view really counts.

BBFM:
A RETURN TO THE FOREST


I'll go again to this forest,
Fight this war though bloodless,
And I know I'll return not only alive,
But also with my boots full of pride.

Decision though disparaged,
This calling is fateful.
I'd rather sacrifice all,
Than ignore a divine clarion call.

The sun at me though frowns,
And threatens to set,
It only invites the new dawn,
I'll yet return to the forest,
Hunting for my precious pride,
The fulfillment the forest in it can't hide.




(in commemoration of my return to d University for an LLB degree)

Hmm mm welcome bro.

1boylikevhis:
Yea,Bro,i have

Wish you all the very best faculty of law's a great place. U'll cope, but don't try to be stingy with knowledge it could cost u a great deal. What u think u know might just be very wrong. 100 level is where u set the pace, 1nce u set it right, the sky might just be ur starting point. Don't let any1 discourage you. If u wanna make first class, then start now, u can make it, some1 almost did in ma set. I believe u can, only if u try, but don't try too hard, cos it might just be frustrating if at the End some devil shows up and they decide to moderate the results.

Idboyostic:

This is for every one to rub minds.

Why is our fees on the high side yet we get stipend as our monthly pay?

What can we do to make law a noble profession again?

Is law a course meant for only the rich?

How much is law school fees at the moment?

How much do you think we should be paying?

When we want to talk about how good windows 8 is, we have to first consider windows 8.1, windows 8.1 to me is a function complaints launched by various user about windows 8. I think u can make windows 9 better by heading to the Microsoft site to comment about the functionality of of windows 8.1 and what u expect from windows 9. I believe one major thing that windows lack is the position of an administration being a super user (without tweaks or extra techy efforts). If u haven't used your windows 8 on a touch screen laptop, then u haven't used windows 8. But if you are a developer, windows is not for you, try Linux, if you are a Graphics designer please run to Mac OS X.

Thanks got ma package again today, but u need to review ur rates. Thanks.

I prefer the Toshiba cos am pretty sure it'll turbo boost to like 2.4Ghz. Then if u can supply their models I think u'll get a more precise reply. They must have caped the processor to reduce battery consumption.

mjay: Mikky is one hell of a guy, sooner or later you will know that without customers there cannot be sellers, no matter how cheap their wares and there is no one without an alternative, you only need to move on to discover there is a better alternative. You are not doing your customers a favor we are all in it together. Watch your attitude, I am sure DHL started from somewhere, you can be anything if your attitude will allow you. The Ibos that I know don't dobbusiness like that. You are may be the best today, but watch your back, others are coming. Chiao

Just try to multitask and then u'll understand what he is facing. Shits happen once in a while, nd u knw pple are of different temperament. U need to exercise some patience or else u might just end up regretting. For the first time it took more than two weeks to get ma stuffs couldn't complain cos I van remember those times this same guy got ma stuffs for me within days stand 5 days sef max. So if he's not replying u, why nt buzz him to shw hw urgent u need him to reply.
