dhope: This your OP should be in the career section. I don't think you've been inside a court room before, judging by the misconception you have about lawyers. I'm sure you realize that a lawyer can resort to lying only when the facts are not in his/her favour. Therefore, you cannot lie when the facts are in your favour. It is not correct to say that lawyers always lie. You have to choose your clients carefully. A lawyer cannot bear false witness anyway, since it is the litigant who gives evidence. If you've heard of appeal, you'd know that a lawyer would have to lie his way through at least three different courts and 8 different judges in order to completely win a case. It is difficult to lie your way to total victory in court. Lawyers also depend on their reputations a lot; if you're a known liar, judges tend to be wary of you and it becomes harder to get away with stuff, meaning less success for you. There are quite a number of lawyers, SAN's even, who are good christians. You have the likes of Ozekhome or Izinyon in this category. A born again christian lawyer should not define career success in terms of money, instead it should be defined by the positive impact you have on the resolution of particular disputes and on the legal system in general. Generally, any person that sets out to make all of the money would not qualify as a born again christian. Money is said to be the root of all evil. You don't have to be a trial lawyer. There are so many other options available to you that don't involve advocacy. A lot of times, litigants think lawyers are telling lies because they fail to grasp that legal requirements for evidence differ from their personal requirements for evidence. So yes, a born again christian, what ever that means, can be a successful lawyer, just as he can be a successful business man. There is nothing about being a lawyer that requires lying. 79 Likes 6 Shares |

Could you please name a successful nigerian lawyer who had never lied in the law court?...... This is Nigeria Even if your clients are innocents and should be favored based on the true-facts that bounds them, a good and a successful lawyer to be must go extra meters to add more salt to the already truth just to make the whole show look more favorable!....... 7 Likes |

Well I know of a pastor who is also a lawyer. He says he only accepts cases where he beleives the person is innocent. Anyway I think as a lawyer if your client comes to you with a bunch of lies and provides his evidence to corroborate that and you repeat his lies in court, you have only spoken the truth to the best of your knowledge. Your client is the one lying. 17 Likes |

jonescyras: Lol. Do you have a record of every lie ever told in court? If you were a lawyer, you'd know not to ask a question whose answer you are not prepared for. Looks like your mind is made up though. That's the only reason why you think somebody who has the truth on his side must still lie. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Not all lawyers go to court. You may be a lawyer and work in the industries, corporate and services sectors of the economy if you think your religious persuasions make it uncomfortable to work in the courts. |

finofaya: A Lawyer does not tell lies.. Simple. They simply try to plead their cases using the requirements and provisions of the law to exonerate their client. Telling lies in court is perjury and any lawyer that is involved I such would lose their licence to practice. 3 Likes |

Who is a born again christian? because in this country there are none. Business men/women will cheat u by inflating prices, civil servants willu add an extra zero to the cheque, pastors will psyche u to gi e them all ur hard earned cash, bankers will deduct ur money for no reason, politicians ( I wont even go there), so op if it is not possible for a lawyer to be a born again likewise no other profession can be. 1 Like |
