If you love advocacy (going to court) then go for Barrister. if you prefer office lawyering (go Solicitor).
Over here in Naija, there is no division. We do both.
For me, I would wish you go for Barrister. It will help you if you come back home later.

Good day, Learning and Learned Colleague. I have a question for the house. Pls can someone tell me the legality of recording s class lecture?

Cases alongside that matter would be appreciated and any law backing it up!

There is no law prohibiting recording of lectures. You can record any lecture you wish to.
Some lectures may not want to be recorded for fear of being quoted.

Good day house...
Please am in dileama and i need some advise and suggestion.
Am an ND3 accounting student with upper class am hoping to cross to univ but i av a passion for law so much that i always score high in law..like biz law,company law..am thinking of using my nd to work n den start afresh wit law...wat did u think guys..am thinking of enrolling to Noun..

Law is an interesting profession. However I will advise you on the following.
1. NOUN is not accredited to run law degree program. the implication is that you cannot only be a law graduate with an LLB degree but you can't be a lawyer as you can't be admitted to the law school. Note that it is until after law school that you can become a lawyer. You can Google "Accredited Faculties of Law of Nigeria Universities"
2. Most universities in Nigeria accept Direct Entry after your ND/HND. You must however have a good o'level with compulsory credits in (English. Lang & Literature in English ).
3. Law is not a lucrative profession. You ll be better off with your masters and professional programmes than spending 5/6yrs for Law degree (it won't matter if you re below 18yrs)
Let me stop here for now.

It doesnt matter the amount you'r paid. We dont work for money, we work to learn - read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosali and u'll understand what I mean.

Like seriously? you must be joking! Do you learn with an empty stomach? Is transportation free for 'learners '?
@OP, the pay is damn poor. Most of the firms pays between 20-50k. if you get anything more (with your level of experience), then you need to celebrate it.

Do you mean apprenticeship system? cos certainty there is no such education system in the east.

Thanks for the info. but does it mean that they have no website cos I can't read the files. kindly provide us with details.
tnks in advance.

Google that address. you will see things for your self.

I got a call from the bank this morning for interview on Thursday.

@Taiwo, my brother a friend of mine working there forwarded my cv to them. I guess it was not advertised.

For those of us that did the zenith Bank test at their head office, please have any one been contacted?

you haven't said anything to warrant calling you.

rather than opening the thread, you could have as well google relevant information about company.

30-50k

if you stay in Lagos, just find your way to the High Court -Igbosere and Ikeja- you will see adverts in various corners of the court. I assure you, you ll have options to choose from though the pay isn't that much for a new wig. cheeeersss!

[quote author=donLEXY]Visited the link sent but can't navigate my way around, but all in all, it's like a medical doctor taking the job of a Nurse just because the title nurse has evolved..... Some people studies secretariat study by the way, and worse come to push, those in the business environment can take that job, why should someone with a professional certification take such (just wondering and still wasted years). ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES is involve [/qu

Lawyers are usually company secretary-particularly those with ICSA. Being a Secretary doesn't mean a waste of legal Knowledge rather a demonstration of Legal Knowledge particularly for lawyers in Commercial/ Secretarial Practice. It is a Lawyer (Company Secretary) that files annual returns and other processes on behalf of a company among other things and perform some other administrative roles. If you must know, most lawyer today are chattered secretaries including my humble self.
Lets I forget, while some company prefer to have a Legal officer, others term it Company Secretary while some big company may have the both.

Legal jobs are rarely posted on Nairaland. A lot of nairalanders work in law firms and establishments who often recruit legal minds. Advertisement calling for a legal practitioner is often seen everywhere in our courts.

I am therefore compelled to use this medium to bring these adverts to our ever increasing nairaland family (of which I have benefited a lot from).

So if you have or see any job vacancy for the post of a Legal Practitioner of whatever experience or any job requiring a graduate of Law, kindly post it here for the betterment of the learned mind of this honourable assembly.

Thank you.
