Criminal Litigation is one of the four subject areas listed on the Nigerian Law School website, alongside Criminal Law, Property Law, Corporate Law and Professional Ethics. It sits within the Bar Part II programme, the vocational stage that follows a law degree and Bar Part I, and it prepares graduates to appear in Nigerian courts as barristers and solicitors. The Law School describes its mission as adopting skill-based, interactive and clinical methods of learning that prepare graduates to function as advocates, solicitors, advisers and leaders in private enterprise and public service. Candidates should therefore expect a practice-facing paper built on procedure and courtroom application rather than pure doctrine. The NG Bar Crim Lit case studies are 5 cases and about 2,982 words.
