NG Bar Final Professional Ethics study guide

Professional Ethics is one of the courses taught in the Bar Part II programme of the Nigerian Law School, listed on the School's own site alongside Criminal Law, Property Law and Corporate Law. Bar Part II is the vocational stage of Nigerian legal education: it follows the academic law degree and Bar Part I, and it is completed before a candidate is presented for Call to the Bar as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. The course is aimed at aspirants to the Bar who already hold the academic qualification and are now being trained for practice, and it is examined as part of the Bar Final Examination. The subject matter is the conduct expected of a Nigerian lawyer in practice - the duties owed to clients, to the court, to opposing counsel and to the profession, and the rules and institutions that regulate and discipline practitioners. The School states that its aim is to adopt 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, so expect the ethics paper to be taught and examined with practice rather than pure theory in mind. Preparation therefore means working through the rules and the disciplinary framework, then applying them to concrete situations, and keeping an eye on the School's portal and academic calendar for the current session's arrangements. Topics on this exam: Professional Ethics. The NG Bar Final Professional Ethics study guide has 1 section and about 414 words.
