Hello bankers, stop freezing accounts without court orders. If directed by EFCC, demand a court order from them. Save yourself from the hassles and losses you will ultimately incur after a successful suit against you. Be guided by s.34 EFCC ACT. See: GTB PLC V ADEDAMOLA (2019)

Today, yours truly locked horns with a distinguished Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The court commended my advocacy and considered my arguments, fine. In a nutshell, my arguments persuaded the judge and my objectives were achieved. Stashing this here for my docuseries.

After law school, legal drafting did not end. If you did not hack it then, don’t wing it under the umbrella of “available templates”. Know where things should go. If the template puts date clause above where deponent should sign, you should smell error. Saturday for practice.

Let me say this because it been recurring in law reports. Do not challenge a CTC of a court judgment on grounds that the judge did not sign it. To successfully challenge the non-signature of a judge, one must exhibit the ORIGINAL copy of the judgment. Adeleke v Oyetola (2020)

Dear Bar aspirants, Relax. Result will come. It is well! Right now, focus on your CV and cover letters. No rush am! Calmly write a good CV (and cover letter per recruiter firm). Send the draft CV and cover letter to a peer or an experienced eye (advised), before you send out.

If he relies on a case law that some court held X, the attitude should not (at first instinct) be to bring down the library to find another case the court held Y. Right thing is to check the case he relied on. Investigate if the court held X and on what circumstance.

Affidavit in support of a competent motion does not stand alone as a process (Sunnet Systems v Datacom). It is pedantic to argue that the affidavit be treated as a separate process requiring an additional NBA stamp/seal having affixed same on the motion paper (Eco Bank v Monye).

Got counterclaim twisted last year. The law is that when a court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the main claim, a counterclaim cannot stand on its own. Yes, independent actions. But a counterclaim must flow from a valid originating process. Aberuagba v Oyekan (2020)

Post law school, no one is asking you to define cause of action. The question becomes “do we have a cause of action? What are our options?” Create scenarios or work with current legal issues. Ask self, “what are the causes of action here?” Ask further, “is it reasonable?”
