Are they lacking inadequate practices or experiences.
Yes you are learned, yes we are not ignorant of that. you don't have to advertised it let your personality and performances and good track records reflect that in you.
Have you noticed too many insignificant small law firms?
Nigeria can not modernize due to such. One of the biggest obstacles to the modernization of legal practice in Nigeria is THE number of small Law Firms.
It seem every Lawyer wants to own a firm these days. Mr. A is called to the Bar, he serves in Lagos State and later craves out a little #shop from where he starts his practice. No practical experience no case ever won!
Never mind that his signboard has the usual "&Co". More often than not, he is the only one lawyer in Chambers. He survives on all kinds of briefs, often struggling with Estate agent for 5% or 10% Commission during property conveyance. He is found in Police stations, lending further credence to that degrading moniker fo Lawyers, "Charge and Bail" in a shopping complex, there could be 30 or more such "#Chambers" where a single lawyer practices but gives off the impression that it is a Firm which has many other lawyers. There are other Law Firms with a sizeable number of lawyers who are usually underpaid and have such very small offices. Some have big offices but very few briefs. Only a few can truly be said to be of international standard.Nigeria can not modernize due to such.

A Lawyer connotes honesty, integrity and dedication. Can we honestly say that about every Lawyer that practices in Nigeria today?
Can we randomly call out a lawyer in Nigeria today and find these qualities in him? There is no doubt that we have lawyers who live by these principles but truth is that the wolves have been let loose amongst the sheep.
The bad eggs have infiltrated the profession and have affected the perception of the public about lawyers.
Very soon the Bar and the bench will be cleanse to remove the wolves amongst the sheep.
