LAW SCHOOL VS OPEN UNIVERSITY. It should be recalled that graduates of law, from the National Open University of Nigeria had dragged Council of Legal Education to court for refusing to admit Noun law graduates into law school, while every other regulatory body had given them the nod to do so. The CLE had no defence to their unjust action. All they did was file a preliminary objection to frustrate the case. But in the latest ruling, their preliminary objection was over ruled. The trial judge, Hon. Justice B.O. Quardri, after taking submissions from all parties rejected all the preliminary objections of the CLE and dismissed them out rightly. On the contentions of the NUC and AGF, Justice Quadri equally rejected the defenses stating that albeit they both showed they are not at loggerheads with NOUN, they cannot proficiently be removed as parties in the matter since the certificates issued to the plaintiffs by NOUN, a university approved by FGN and accredited by NUC is the subject of the dispute, both are desirable and necessary parties in the suit, and therefore struck out their applications to be removed as defendants. In addition, the judge reminded the AGF that since all his three co-defendants are agents of the Federal government coupled with the CLE Act which gives him unfettered powers to give directives to CLE, he is a competent party in the suit.
Amuda-Kannike (SAN) in a meeting in his office at Port Harcourt on Tuesday with the plaintiffs and Coordinator of Law Graduates Forum (LGF), Hon. Carl Umegboro, maintained his position that action of the CLE against NOUN graduates over admission to the Nigerian Law School is ultra vires and cannot stand without legal backing stating that students that sacrificed both time and resources to obtain a degree from an accredited university cannot reasonably be frustrated knowing that advocate and solicitor are fused in Nigeria, and therefore without enrolment to the bar, the law degree may amount to nothing to the possessor who intends to practice law.
He added that if the CLE has any objections on the law programme of the University, the conventional and reasonable thing should be to treat the matter as it did earlier over the Evening Law programmes offered by some universities by liaising with the NUC for review of the accreditation and not to refuse admission to students already in the system talk less of graduates, which could be considered as tantamount to malice to the students without putting their fate into consideration.
The learned Professor vowed that in line with justice, equity and good conscience, he is determined to pursue the matter to a logical conclusion to ensure that innocent Nigerians who spent their resources to add values to their lives are not frustrated by those in authority. Recalling that these innocent victims-graduates all come from families like members of the Council, and certainly aimed at earning a living from the profession, the learned silk passionately appealed to the young lawyers to maintain decorum and remain strong as the court remains the last hope of the common man.
Hearing on the substantive matter which was earlier scheduled for 5th July, 2016 but couldn’t hold due to the public holiday to mark the Eid-Fitri, a Muslim festival is rescheduled on 23rd September , 2016.
