Nigerian Law School Call To Bar Requirements

Posted on May 21, 2025 By CampusTimesNG 1 Comment on Nigerian Law School Call To Bar Requirements

We wish to inform the general public and students alike, that the Nigerian Law School call to bar Requirements for 2025 have been released.

Lawyers play a vital role in upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice.

By committing to this demanding process, you can make a meaningful impact on society.

With dedication and diligence, you can succeed in this noble career, contributing to a fair and just legal system

What Are Benefits of Specialization in Specific Areas of Law?

Pursuing further specialization or advanced degrees in specific areas of law can open up new opportunities and enhance the career prospects of a lawyer in Nigeria.

  • Specializing in a specific area of law offers  lawyers the advantage of building expertise and credibility in that particular field.
  • It enables lawyers to attract clients who require specialized legal services, thereby expanding their client base.
  • Specialization offers a higher earning potential as lawyers with specialized skills are often in high demand.
  • It provides opportunities for networking and collaboration with other professionals in the same niche area of law.

What Are Benefits of Becoming A Lawyer in Nigeria

Becoming a lawyer in Nigeria comes with loads of important procedures.

  1. You must first earn a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) degree from an accredited university.
  2. This foundational step provides the necessary academic background in legal principles.
  3. The next is attending the Nigerian Law School to gain practical training and pass the Bar Part II examinations.

The Law School experience is crucial for understanding the practical aspects of law.

  • After law school, you must complete a mandatory one-year internship, known as an externship, in an accredited legal setting. This hands-on experience is essential for developing practical skills and professional ethics.
  • Following completion of the internship, you must pass the final Bar examination. Success in this exam qualifies you for the Call to the Bar ceremony, a formal event that marks your entry into the legal profession.

This path is quite challenging, but the rewards are significant.

With dedication and diligence, you can succeed in this noble career, contributing to a fair and just legal system.

What To Know About The Nigerian Law School

The Nigerian Law School is an educational institution set up by the Government of Nigeria in 1962 to provide a Nigerian legal education to foreign-trained lawyers, and to provide practical training for aspiring Legal Practitioners in Nigeria. Until the school was established, legal practitioners in Nigeria had received the requisite training in England and had been called to the English Bar

The Law School offers course in criminal and civil litigation, property and corporate law, as well as a course in ethics. Over 70,000 students have graduated from the Nigerian Law School.

Anyone who has obtained a University degree in law and wants to practice as lawyers in Nigeria must attend the Nigerian Law School. The Council of Legal Education gives certificates to students who pass the Bar Part II examinations, and these students are then called to the Bar.

There are about Six Nigerian Law School  campuses spread across the country at Lagos, Yola, Enugu, Kano, Abuja, and Yenegoa. The Lagos Campus was set up in 1962, moving to its current location in 1969. The law school headquarters was relocated to the town of Bwari near Abuja in 1997.

At the time of the move, hostels and the main auditorium were still under construction. The town had no hospital, no telephone and banking services, and the school was constructing its own borehole to provide potable water. The Augustine Nnamani Campus is located in Agbani, Enugu State.

A fourth campus is located in Bagauda, Kano State. There are two additional campuses now which brings it to a total of 6 campuses. One in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State and the sixth in Yola, Adamawa State.
