Justice Ishaq Bello, the acting Chief Judge of the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, has
advocated for continuous education for lawyers,
particularly in the use of English language.
Bello stated this on Wednesday in Abuja at the
launch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA)
stamp and affinity products.
The Acting Chief Judge said that it was becoming
rather irritating for lawyers to appear before a
judge and continuously mix up their tenses in
trying to present their cases.
He observed that the declining standard of
lawyers could be noticed in the quality of legal
practice, where a lawyer stands from the bar
saying “I didn’t did it” or “I saw them passes”.
He urged the leadership of the NBA to do more to
further encourage the continued education of
lawyers, saying the trend was becoming quite
irritating.
“All lawyers must go through what is called
Language Usage Course (LUC); all lawyers must be
exposed to the dynamics of global evolving legal
landscape,” he said.
