Gamesmart: Law is law but it is also dynamic. Liberal nations have changed their marriage and matrimonial causes act to reflect gay marriage, contract marriage and even bestiality. Forensic science evidence have been included in the Evidence Act of technologically advanced nations. Copyright laws have been extended to the internet and social media in advanced nations. Do you know how many bloggers copy other bloggers and paste verbatim on their blogs in Nigeria? Imagine if they Copyright Law of Nigeria went beyond textbooks and CDs prohibition. 4 Likes |

Lawyers are not restricted to the court only. Most companies have a legal dept that requires lawyers. Also, the audits firms have tax units where lawyers can fit in and grow a career. PS: lecturing jobs are also there. You can pursue your career up to PhD level join any of the universities home or abroad 6 Likes |

ethicallyright: True. I never said some laws cannot change or new laws cannot emerge. The latter is the whole point of quality of philosophy of a law. What I objected to was someone stupidly saying because a law is old, it is wrong/obsolete. A law with good philosophy is everlasting. 1 Like |

Vianna:Depends on your perspective.. If you studying law to become rich, you'll get utterly disappointed. If u studying law for the love and passion you have for the profession, you will never regret it. Most students of law just came across it for mundane reasons, maybe by pressure from either or both parents, who may be lawyers too, or an escape from science class or the last resort to get rich or gain respect from your peers. It's clearly apparent in the court rooms. The law profession is a noble profession, and NOT a lucrative one if your eyes are set on riches. 3 Likes |

Vianna: Every profession is under the control of senior members of each profession and it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed. What I believe is today's graduates don't want to work their way up to the Pinnacle of their profession or vocation. Make that sacrifice early in your life to learn. The achievers in any profession made sacrifices early in their career development. The profession is lucrative but some people have painted it with bad reputation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mikkymilli: Don't be deceived! Those young lawyers earning 15k still amass up to 200k monthly from the goings-on in the firm! It all depends on the firm he works! Moreover, that lawyer earning 15k can make N20m in one business deal, even while still working under his principal! That's why they say no employer can pay a lawyer! Look around you, you won't see a lawyer starving!! Look again, you will see that most wealthy people are lawyers!!!!!!!!!! But the profession requires PATIENCE sha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Legal practice still pays but only if you know people in the A list firms and probably if you have got great result, most A list firms prefer to take lawyers with great results both from the university and law school. Study well if you don’t want to end up as ‘a charge and bail’ with a faded black suit ![]() 2 Likes |

Gamesmart: Does Adam v Lindsell postal rule still apply today in email transactions? For two centuries the postal rule was regarded as a good law. Law and morality are distinct. According to John Austin , Law is the what the sovereign authority says it is. There is nothing like a good law. Serial killers and mass shooters in American States where capital punishment is prohibited have been given life sentences when the families of the victims demanded death by hanging or electrocution. The families of the victims do not think it is good law while families of the convicted are satisfied. What about divorce laws that have given the fortune of wealthy men as alimony to their spouses who contributed no business advice other than being their marriage partner? See, it's good law to the feminist community and bad law to men who have worked hard to make a mark. You see, the law is an ass. One can always twist it to suit him. To be "good" and to be "moral" are two distinctive conditions. While the former is objective, the latter is subjective. We have moral laws or non moral laws. There's never been a time in history that humans of any country or race have unanimously acknowledged that law is good. By the way, there are more poor lawyers than rich ones. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

You've said the fact. It is just that it isn't peculiar to law as a profession. Studying most of the supposed lucrative and attractive professions in Nigeria, particularly the highly competitive ones are turning out to be a total waste of time, energy and precious resources. What's the use going to school to learn something you may never need or that may never earn you tangible and reliable means of livelihood. It isn't not just law. The concept of education in Nigeria is a fraud. The FG has proved it so by encouraging, advising and coercing graduates who spent years in school learning to be lawyers, engineers, bankers etc to learn menial skills like barbing, tailoring and shoe making during NYSC camping. These days what you become or get out of life doesn't depend entirely on what you study in school. 1 Like |

Tough people like us don't require services of attornies to represent us. personally, I represent myself in all legal matters. So you can see why the demand for lawyers are fast decreasing. My only need for a lawyer is to keep in custody, my will or testament and execute same when the need arises. 1 Like |
