Isn't It Impossible To Make A First Class In Law? by Serendipity: 6:21pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
Please I am just curious. Report has it that Francis Chukwu in 2007 was the '3rd' Nigerian to achieve the feat of making first class in the varsity and replicated same in the LAW school. So, doesn't the foregoing bear witness to the fact that the possibility of making a first class in LAW (in Nigeria) is infinitesimal? http://www.law.nyu.edu/llmjsd/llmscholars/vanderbiltscholars/index.htm |

@ poster no offence meant but who cares about a first class in Law when the freaking profession doesn't pay you well after school. Imagine working for N15,000 per month, N18,000 per month and even N25,000 per month as a Law graduate (some of my friends actually earn these amounts in law firms) after spending so much on acquiring the so called legal education. It makes me furious ![]() They all have 2:2 but from what I hear/see of this Da Doctor and iice what's up with you guys? Are you loving on each other or hating on each other? ![]() |
Re: Isn't It Impossible To Make A First Class In Law? by chibaby5(f): 5:37pm On Jul 04, 2011 |
@Poster I cud relate to what ur saying. Even here in the UK, Law is very demanding and you have to keep up to date with changes/new cases and all dat and dat makes it pretty difficult. The fact that there's no wrong or right answer also makes it difficult as itz left to the Marker's discretion and mood too ![]() ![]() U need alot of skills combined and not just being intelligent for a successful law degree. All this and loads more make it difficult, I suppose. |
Re: Isn't It Impossible To Make A First Class In Law? by Serendipity: 9:28pm On Jul 04, 2011 |
madoba:Okay, I can feel your pain. But it's somewhat fallacious to conclude that all Lawyers earn such pittance as you stated. Outstanding ones in firms like Banwo and Ighodalo, Aluko and Oyebode etc, earn 70k and above apart from other dough you will be getting depending on how smart you are. In other words, some earn comparatively 120 to 250k monthly. It varies. |
Re: Isn't It Impossible To Make A First Class In Law? by Nobody: 11:41pm On Jul 04, 2011 |
Serendipity: That is still way too low. Supply is more than the demand in Nigeria, that might be the reason for the low wage. |

Nigerian academic requirements are non academically mind boggling!! Many students here said they couldn't pass jamb yet passed SAT to study in best American universities, It doesn't mean our academic stand is better than theirs still, It is due to difficulty that students have to find another way to pass, Projects that practically test student's skills in their academic fields are not available. Even the Nigerians here, many just want to be degree engineers with practical creativity to show for it, The only field Nigerians are practically creative is medicine!!!! I think Nigerian universities have trained many of the world best medical practitioners because I have met so many Nigerian Docs and God knows I admire them!! Mom is a cardiologist and whenever I see her I'm thinking wow; and you were trained in Nigeria? Though I recently started seeing her, I think she has been addicted to her job as a cardiologist since she started!!! |

Serendipity: Serendipity Please where on earth did I draw the conclusion in my post that all lawyers earn the figures I stated? Now that's a classic case of putting words into my mouth, or should I say a case of erroneously ascribing a statement to me which I didn't make. I studied Law in Naija, and I've stayed in touch with more than half of my classmates from university and law school. Those figures I quoted is the reality of their lives and a good majority of them. I don't dispute the fact that some lawyers do earn 70k, 120k etc But on a scale of 1 to 50 how many actually earn these amounts? Getting a job with one of the prestigious firms where decent wages are paid is tough. Most times you need to come highly recommended by someone well connected or be of a wealthy and popular family background. Now how many of us are that privileged? What I know for a fact is that the ratio of Lawyers who earn a pittance, far outweighs the ratio that earn a decent wage of 70k, 120k in Naija. |

Re: Isn't It Impossible To Make A First Class In Law? by trustboy: 4:08pm On Jul 05, 2011 |
I need someone to help me here. I hold an Msc from a University in the UK. I recently applied and got admitted to study for an MA Law degree in the UK. This is a 2 year Qualifying Law degree which satisfies the requirements of the Solicitors Regulatory Authority in UK. In addition i would be studying all the core subjects required by the Nigerian Law School. I sent an email to a Director of Administration at the Nigerian Law School and was told the program would not qualify me for admission because it is an MA and not LLB. Can someone please advise me on this. The Nigerian Law school website mentions the core subjects and a Qualifying Law degree but places no emphasis on the LLB. |

I dont believe that it is difficult to make first in both Uni and Law School. also your statistics may not be correct about the total number of students that have graduated with First in both ways. I made a first in both and i know that in my set, there were about three of us that made first in our universities too. Francis was even two year after my call, It takes hard work, perseverance and hard work to see you through, ![]() |

It's a general thing then? cos in my school -university of jos- the most recent first class awarded by the faculty of law was in 1985, the faculty having been compelled by a court order to grant the honour ![]() ![]() |
