Lawyer is the most useless profession.

My father once told me,become a lawyer and I will disown you.

Lawyers are liars.

Lawyers are too proud and arrogant.

If a Lawyer marries another Lawyer their children are often criminals or police

Lawyers are too poor compared to people in other profession.

Lawyers won't make heaven grin

Says who huh

My dear Law is one of those professions that get you respect in this country

You have a right of say, anywhere without being bullied

Unlike we wey be business managers...na slap them go first give us undecided
for the respect part, yes it gives that.


But once you do not have anyone to push you forward and higher in the profession, you're gonna be a poor man!!

The average lawyer in the society makes his/her living from residential buildings and signing of witnesses to Land sales deals, most of them don't even go to courts.

Plagiarism! It is actionable if the original author is not acknowledged as in this case here. I too read it first in the NBA FB page.

5. INTERIOR DECORATORS
Now you are thinking what interior
decoration has to do with law practice. Just
wait till you meet these set of lawyers who
always seek for an adjournment in other
“to put our house in order”. I use to imagine
what house they are even putting in order,
and why they will have to wait till they get
to court before they realise they have to put
their house in order. It’s okay if once in a
while you ask for an adjournment to
regularize your processes and all of that;
but when it becomes a routine and the line
of “to put our house in order” is always
used, maybe lawyers like that need to quit
law practice and consider venturing into the
business of interior decoration. Then, they
will not only be free to put their houses in
order, but would also help others to put their
houses in order and get paid for doing that.
If you are among this category, you will
have to buy me dinner for this sound career
advice.
I know this my list is not exhaustive, so let’s
hear your own categories.
This one made me laugh! Some lawyers are clowns and will excel in comedy more than Basketmouth and Ay!!
Re: Weird Types Of Lawyers You Meet In The Courtroom by BlackDBagba: 8:21am On Oct 06, 2017
The ' holding brief' lawyers.

They won't let the matter go on. They'll delay it by telling the judge ' My Lord, I'm just holdin brief and I don't have the file with me.

Kinda' like the ' As the court pleases' grin
Re: Weird Types Of Lawyers You Meet In The Courtroom by chccho(m): 8:22am On Oct 06, 2017
Law is a very interesting profession.

Re: Weird Types Of Lawyers You Meet In The Courtroom by Emilord(m): 9:29am On Oct 06, 2017
I can relate.

I AM STILL STANDING ON MY FEET: These ones will be addressing the court making irrelevant applications,and when you want to react,you will hear,please,I am still on my feet. And funny enough, the application they are seeking for maybe irrelevant and frivolous.

1. THE GOWN PULLERS
They seem to have this parasitic attachment
to our gowns. These are lawyers who are
always very quick to pull your gown when you
are on your feet conducting your matter;
probably when you seem to be encountering a
hitch in prosecuting your case. They are
pulling your gown to draw your attention, or
to whisper a supposedly solution to help you
out of a situation. They seem to always have
an answer to pull you through, especially
when you are on your feet and in a problem.
As a young lawyer, these folks were very
handy when they were around, but as time
went on, they became irritating. It now
seems like they are just waiting or even
praying for you to get into some sort of
trouble for them to begin to pull your gown.
Truth is, there are times this gown pulling
thing ends up confusing you the more and
breaking your concentration. Imagine sitting
between two gown pullers, one pulling you
from the right, the other from the left?
Surprisingly, I have also observed that
sometimes when it finally gets to the turn of
our gown pullers to conduct their cases, they
seem to get more stuck than us.Anyway,
they are a nice set of people with good
intentions, but they need to be moderate
and wise on how they go about their gown
pulling business.
Mr op.
i am just curious what are the requirements to becoming a SAN?
and also how does one become a judge, os there a special school or something?

I am no lawyer i am just curious is all.

If I were the defendant counsel in such matter. I will apply to strike out the matter after putting the court on notice of want of diligent prosecution on the last adjourned date
