Even if “project manager” isn’t part of your title, the PMP applies to anyone who helps bring a project to completion. Just like a CPA validates expertise for accountants, the PMP recognizes your ability to manage projects—and the hard work you’ve done so far.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial";">College Admissions Essay Secrets</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /><i>EssayEdge.com contains thousands of pages of free admissions essay advice by Harvard-educated editors</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Each year, Harvard rejects four out of five valedictorians and hundreds of students with perfect SAT scores, leaving applicants and parents wondering what went wrong. While there is no secret formula for gaining admission to a top school, there are many ways to ensure rejection, and the most common by far is taking the admissions essay lightly. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Over one-third of the time an admissions officer spends on your application is spent evaluating your essay. Admissions officers use the essay to compare hundreds or even thousands of applicants with similar grades, activities, and SAT scores. To stand out, your essay must not only demonstrate your grasp of grammar and ability to write lucid, structured prose, you must also paint a vivid picture of your personality and character, one that compels a busy admissions officer to accept you.<br />Fortunately, unlike every other aspect of the application, you control your essay, and can be sure that the glimpse you give the admissions committee into your character, background, and writing ability is the most positive one possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><b>TOP 10 ESSAY WRITING TIPS</b></span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>1. Don't Thesaurusize Your Essay. Do Use Your Own Voice.</u></b></i><br />Admissions officers can tell Roget from an 18-year-old high school senior. Big words, especially when misused, detract from the essay, inappropriately drawing the reader's attention and making the essay sound contrived.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;"><b>Before: </b>Although I did a plethora of activities in high school, my assiduous efforts enabled me to succeed.<br /><br /><b>After: </b>Although I juggled many activities in high school, I succeeded through persistent work. </span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>2. Don't Bore the Reader. Do Be Interesting.</u></b></i>Admissions officers have to read hundreds of essays, and they must often skim. Abstract rumination has no place in an application essay. Admissions officers aren't looking for a new way to view the world; they're looking for a new way to view you the applicant. The best way to grip your reader is to begin the essay with a captivating snapshot. Notice how the slightly jarring scene depicted in the "after" creates intrigue and keeps the reader's interest. </span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;"><b>Before: </b>The college admissions and selection process is a very important one, perhaps one that will have the greatest impact on one's future. The college that a person will go to often influences his personality, views, and career.<br /><br /><b>After: </b>An outside observer would have called the scene ridiculous: a respectable physician holding the bell of his stethoscope to the chest of a small stuffed bear.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>3. Do Use Personal Detail. Show, Don't Tell!</u></b></i><br />Good essays are concrete and grounded in personal detail. They do not merely assert "I learned my lesson" or that "these lessons are useful both on and off the field." They show it through personal detail. "Show don't tell," means if you want to relate a personal quality, do so through your experiences and do not merely assert it.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;"><b>Before: </b>I developed a new compassion for the disabled.<br /><br /><b>After: </b>The next time Mrs. Cooper asked me to help her across the street, I smiled and immediately took her arm. </span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">The first example is vague and could have been written by anybody. But the second sentence evokes a vivid image of something that actually happened, placing the reader in the experience of the applicant.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>4. Do Be Concise. Don't Be Wordy.</u></b></i><br />Wordiness not only takes up valuable space, but it also can confuse the important ideas you're trying to convey. Short sentences are more forceful because they are direct and to the point. Certain phrases such as "the fact that" are usually unnecessary. Notice how the revised version focuses on active verbs rather than forms of "to be" and adverbs and adjectives.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;"><b>Before: </b>My recognition of the fact that the project was finally over was a deeply satisfying moment that will forever linger in my memory.<br /><br /><b>After: </b>Completing the project at last gave me an enduring sense of fulfillment.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>5. Don't Use Slang, Yo!</u></b></i><br />Write an essay, not an email. Slang terms, clichés, contractions, and an excessively casual tone should be eliminated. Here's one example of inappropriately colloquial language.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;">Well here I am thinking about what makes me tick. You would be surprised. What really gets my goat is when kids disrespect the flag. My father was in 'Nam and I know how important the military is to this great nation.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>6. Do Vary Your Sentences and Use Transitions.</u></b></i><br />The best essays contain a variety of sentence lengths mixed within any given paragraph. Also, remember that transition is not limited to words like <i>nevertheless</i>, <i>furthermore </i>or <i>consequently</i>. Good transition flows from the natural thought progression of your argument.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;"><b>Before: </b>I started playing piano when I was eight years old. I worked hard to learn difficult pieces. I began to love music.<br /><br /><b>After: </b>I started playing the piano at the age of eight. As I learned to play more difficult pieces, my appreciation for music deepened.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><i><b><u>7. Do Use Active Voice Verbs.</u></b></i><br />Passive-voice expressions are verb phrases in which the subject receives the action expressed in the verb. Passive voice employs a form of the verb <i>to be</i>, such as <i>was</i> or <i>were</i>. Overuse of the passive voice makes prose seem flat and uninteresting. </span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans';">
<div align="left" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: large;"><b>Before: </b>The lessons that prepared me for college were taught to me by my mother.<br /><br /><b>After: </b>My mother taught me lessons that will prepare me for college.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><b>SAMPLE ESSAY</b></span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">The sun sleeps as the desolate city streets await the morning rush hour. Driven by an inexplicable compulsion, I enter the building along with ten other swimmers, inching my way toward the cold, dark locker room of the Esplanada Park Pool. One by one, we slip into our still-damp drag suits and make a mad dash through the chill of the morning air, stopping only to grab pull-buoys and kickboards on our way to the pool. Nighttime temperatures in coastal California dip into the high forties, but our pool is artificially warmed to seventy-nine degrees; the temperature differential propels an eerie column of steam up from the water's surface, producing the spooky ambience of a werewolf movie. Next comes the shock. Headfirst immersion into the tepid water sends our hearts racing, and we respond with a quick set of warm-up laps. As we finish, our coach emerges from the fog. He offers no friendly accolades, just a rigid regimen of sets, intervals, and exhortations. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Thus starts another workout. 4,500 yards to go, then a quick shower and a five-minute drive to school. Then it's back to the pool; the afternoon training schedule features an additional 5,500 yards. Tomorrow, we start over again. The objective is to cut our times by another tenth of a second. The end goal is to achieve that tiny, unexplainable difference at the end of a race that separates success from failure, greatness from mediocrity. Somehow we accept the pitch--otherwise, we'd still be deep in our mattresses, slumbering beneath our blankets. In this sport, the antagonist is time. Coaches spend hours in specialized clinics, analyze the latest research on training technique, and experiment with workout schedules in an attempt to defeat time. Yet there are no shortcuts to winning, and workouts are agonizing. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">I took part in my first swimming race when I was ten years old. My parents, fearing injury, directed my athletic interests away from ice hockey and into the pool. Three weeks into my new swimming endeavor, I somehow persuaded my coach to let me enter the annual age group meet. To his surprise (and mine), I pulled out an "A" time. I furthered my achievements by winning "Top 16" awards for various age groups, setting club records, and being named National First Team All-American in the 100-Butterfly and Second Team All-American in the 200-Medley. I have since been elevated to the Senior Championship level, which means the competition now includes world-class swimmers. I am aware that making finals will not be easy from here--at this level, success is measured by mere tenths of a second. In addition, each new level brings extra requirements such as elevated weight training, longer weekend training sessions, and more travel from home. Time with friends is increasingly spent in the pursuit of the next swimming objective. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans'; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Sometimes, in the solitude of the laps, my thoughts transition to events in my personal life. This year, my grandmother suffered a reoccurrence of cancer, which has spread to her lungs. She had always been driven by good spirits and independence, but suddenly my family had to accept the fact that she now faces a limited timeline. A few weeks later, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, my grandfather--who lives in Japan--learned he had stomach cancer. He has since undergone successful surgery, but we are aware that a full recovery is not guaranteed. When I first learned that they were both struck with cancer, I felt as if my own objective, to cut my times by fractions of a second, seemed irrelevant, even ironic, given the urgency of their mutual goals: to prolong life itself. Yet we have learned to draw on each other's strengths for support--their fortitude helps me overcome my struggles while my swimming achievements provide them with a vicarious sense of victory. When I share my latest award or triumph story, they smile with pride, as if they themselves had stood on the award stand. I have the impression that I would have to be a grandparent to understand what my medals mean to them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">My grandparents' strength has also shored up my determination to succeed. I have learned that, as in swimming, life's successes often come in small increments. Sometimes even the act of showing up at a workout when your body and psyche are worn out separates a great result from a failure. The difference between success and failure is defined by the ability to overcome strong internal resistance. I know that, by consistently working towards my goals--however small they may seem--I can accomplish what I set for myself, both in and beyond the swimming pool. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
In America, Canada and other jurisdictions, potential lawyers<br />
are not assembled in a place to be prepared for Bar<br />
examinations. The Council of Legal Education (CLE)<br />
supervises this practice in Nigeria and holds the mandate of<br />
running the Nigerian Law School. They decide who or which<br />
school to admit to law school or not, even if the school is a<br />
creation of the federal or state governments and passed the<br />
accreditation of the National University Commission (NUC).<br />
<br />
With the upsurge in number of law graduates stretching<br />
existing facilities, CLE created additional campuses to absorb<br />
the pressure. Still, the campuses appear inadequate compared<br />
to the number of students that graduate from law faculties in<br />
Nigerian universities and across the globe yearly. Former<br />
director general of Nigeria Institute for Advanced Legal Studies<br />
(NIALS), Professor Epiphany Azinge (SAN) in this interview<br />
with JOSEPH ONYEKWERE and BRIDGET CHIEDU ONOCHIE<br />
said keeping the law school is no longer necessary. For him,<br />
university faculties should prepare their students to write the<br />
examinations and get called to Bar when they pass. He also<br />
explained his position about lawyers addressing the press<br />
after court sessions and cautioned that the practice could<br />
sway the opinion of judges if unchecked.<br />
<br />
On the argument about whether the council of legal education<br />
should be restricted to only setting bar examinations, while<br />
law graduates prepare themselves for the bar examination, he<br />
said law school should be abolished. “I canvassed this system<br />
about five years ago and they came after me. It generated a<br />
lot of controversies such that very senior judge’s were<br />
castigating me. But it just did not affect anything because I<br />
know that we cannot continue like this. They said Azinge<br />
called for the abolition of law school. That is still my position.<br />
How many are we? We are just about 170,000 out of over 170<br />
million people and the number is growing everyday. There are<br />
schools that have backlog of about four, five years. When you<br />
throw these people into the system, you have 3000 people.<br />
May be 10,000 is still queuing up in the law faculties.<br />
<br />
We should also consider making law a graduate programme. I<br />
think we are gradually going to a point where we are going to<br />
make law a graduate programme. Take a degree in anything<br />
and come and read law. The idea of making law an<br />
undergraduate programme is fast losing its shine so to speak.<br />
Two, we have to stem the tide and check the backlog that<br />
seems to be blossoming at a very fast rate. What is taught in<br />
the law school that a law faculty cannot teach? Some of<br />
those that teach in the law school are lower in cadre than<br />
those who teach in the law faculties, in terms of experience<br />
and exposure. If it is a five-year programme, you make it a<br />
six-year programme. Graduate with your LLB and stay back<br />
and do additional one year. The only challenge is: are you<br />
going to have a central body like JAMB to set the exams,<br />
coordinate the grading and marking of the examinations? That<br />
is all you need. Most people study in their various institutions.<br />
You don’t have a central place where you go to do your last<br />
examinations after SS3. You do it on your schools. It is not<br />
centralized. All we are saying is: why can’t it be done for law<br />
school? We shy away from this? But if we are the ones at the<br />
receiving end, we would have been shouting. Why should<br />
government fund the law school? Other professional bodies<br />
such as doctors, architects, engineers and so on, are they<br />
being funded by government? Why is law so special? What<br />
I’m saying is that it is only going to be for a while and people<br />
would speak out so loudly that things would come to an end.<br />
Why can’t people see tomorrow and start planning for it? One<br />
day, one pharaoh that knows no Joseph will come to the<br />
throne and say it is all over, go and sort out yourselves. The<br />
council of legal education go to accredit law faculties.<br />
If you accredit law faculty, it means that that law faculty is<br />
capable of training students that can take those exams,<br />
capable of training students that are good enough to come to<br />
the law school. In other words, capable of training students<br />
that are good enough to move a step higher by taking the<br />
qualifying examination for BL. We now have a lot of<br />
universities including the private ones. How can the law<br />
school prepare 3000 students at once? Even if you create<br />
additional 10 campuses, it cannot. We are saying, in a class<br />
where you have 150 to 200 people, that is a big class.<br />
<br />
Now you have 1000 people you are facing in a programme. I<br />
have been to law school to deliver a talk and it was like a<br />
stadium. How can you really get to the students intellectually<br />
and otherwise? It is a number we cannot manage. For me,<br />
that is really a big challenge and the earlier we address it, the<br />
better for us. I feel that time has come for us to get out of the<br />
law school and do other things. Where is the law school in<br />
America and Canada? They do their bar exams. They prepare<br />
themselves and go and do their bar examinations. I think we<br />
have gotten to that stage now. It is a self-indictment for the<br />
director general of the law school to go to conference in Port<br />
Harcourt to report that people write exams for others. What<br />
have you done to checkmate that and what are your plans<br />
against it. It is not a matter of moralizing, what has that<br />
added to the value of lawyers? Tomorrow they will start<br />
looking at lawyers as people that can’t write their own exams.<br />
There are things one has to manage well. You don’t have to<br />
put such thing in a report in a public place.<br />
On the issue of lawyers addressing journalists after court<br />
sessions, Azinge said even though the law guarantees freedom<br />
of speech, lawyers must avoid statements that are pre-<br />
judicious.<br />
<br />
His words: “I took cognizance of few points. One, the freedom<br />
of expression is guaranteed by the constitution and to that<br />
extent, anybody can say anything within the confines of the<br />
constitutional provisions. In other words, bearing in mind that<br />
there are certain things that ought not to be said as far as<br />
derogation is concerned. But the issues of matters subjudice<br />
is one that every lawyer at an elementary stage ought to be<br />
conscious of. This pre-supposes that we should not be<br />
discussing matters that are pending in court at a point in time<br />
in a way and manner that may be prejudicial to the outcome<br />
of that particular case. What are we trying to guard against?<br />
We are trying to guard against a situation where public<br />
opinion will now become the basis for determination of<br />
disputes because the judges also read. Their opinion or<br />
thinking can be shaped by what they read and if they feel that<br />
the preponderance view seems to be on one side, for them to<br />
be in tandem with public opinion, they may be swayed. To<br />
that extent, it is contextually better not to discuss matters<br />
that are pending.”<br />
<br />
If you accredit law faculty, it means that that law faculty is<br />
capable of training students that can take those exams,<br />
capable of training students that are good enough to come to<br />
the law school. In other words, capable of training students<br />
that are good enough to move a step higher by taking the<br />
qualifying examination for BL. We now have a lot of<br />
universities including the private ones. How can the law<br />
school prepare 3000 students at once? Even if you create<br />
additional 10 campuses, it cannot. We are saying, in a class<br />
where you have 150 to 200 people, that is a big class.<br />
Now you have 1000 people you are facing in a programme. I<br />
have been to law school to deliver a talk and it was like a<br />
stadium. How can you really get to the students intellectually<br />
and otherwise? It is a number we cannot manage. For me,<br />
that is really a big challenge and the earlier we address it, the<br />
better for us. I feel that time has come for us to get out of the<br />
law school and do other things. Where is the law school in<br />
America and Canada? They do their bar exams. They prepare<br />
themselves and go and do their bar examinations. I think we<br />
have gotten to that stage now. It is a self-indictment for the<br />
director general of the law school to go to conference in Port<br />
Harcourt to report that people write exams for others. What<br />
have you done to checkmate that and what are your plans<br />
against it. It is not a matter of moralizing, what has that<br />
added to the value of lawyers? Tomorrow they will start<br />
looking at lawyers as people that can’t write their own exams.<br />
There are things one has to manage well. You don’t have to<br />
put such thing in a report in a public place.<br />
<br />
On the issue of lawyers addressing journalists after court<br />
sessions, Azinge said even though the law guarantees freedom<br />
of speech, lawyers must avoid statements that are pre-<br />
judicious.<br />
<br />
His words: “I took cognizance of few points. One, the freedom<br />
of expression is guaranteed by the constitution and to that<br />
extent, anybody can say anything within the confines of the<br />
constitutional provisions. In other words, bearing in mind that<br />
there are certain things that ought not to be said as far as<br />
derogation is concerned. But the issues of matters subjudice<br />
is one that every lawyer at an elementary stage ought to be<br />
conscious of. This pre-supposes that we should not be<br />
discussing matters that are pending in court at a point in time<br />
in a way and manner that may be prejudicial to the outcome<br />
of that particular case. What are we trying to guard against?<br />
We are trying to guard against a situation where public<br />
opinion will now become the basis for determination of<br />
disputes because the judges also read. Their opinion or<br />
thinking can be shaped by what they read and if they feel that<br />
the preponderance view seems to be on one side, for them to<br />
be in tandem with public opinion, they may be swayed. To<br />
that extent, it is contextually better not to discuss matters<br />
that are pending.”<br />
<br />
His words :”I don’t think that is an impossibility. But again,<br />
the ball is in the court of the media because we want to see<br />
the maturity that people must exhibit for them to cover<br />
matters of such nature live. What do I mean? Let me give you<br />
example of football. Some fans now go out of their ways to<br />
gain attention. What do they do? Millions of people are<br />
watching Manchester United playing Manchester City and a<br />
fan who craves for publicity jumps into the field to go and hug<br />
Ronaldo. It is not the hugging that is the issue, it is that<br />
publicity that he craves for.<br />
<br />
So what do the media do? Once they see such situation, they<br />
pull out the camera and deny you the cravings of being seen<br />
by millions of spectators across the globe. So, my own<br />
position is that there are certain things that can happen inside<br />
the court during proceedings. Are we matured enough to know<br />
that we are not supposed to air them? Assuming that there is<br />
a scream by a prisoner being tried, or a statement which is<br />
provocative or otherwise inciting by a witness or a suspect in<br />
court, which is likely to impact negatively on the society,<br />
whether Muslims or Christians, is the media matured enough<br />
to know that they would cut off the scene? That is the kind of<br />
thing you see in South Africa.<br />
<br />
It gets to a stage, a judge may be doing something such as<br />
picking his nose, you cut off. Will the cameraman through<br />
training know he shouldn’t cover that? Assuming somebody<br />
doses off? There are certain things they try to guard against.<br />
So, if you know that the maturity is there and cameraman can<br />
guard against all those, there is nothing wrong in that. Yes,<br />
I’m for automation. What does the constitution say? The<br />
constitution says public hearing. Public includes live viewing<br />
as the case maybe. But all I’m saying is that we must be<br />
prepared for live streaming so that people would now know<br />
what they are expected to do or not.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Nigerian Law School was set up by the Federal
Government of Nigeria in 1962. The aim of the institution
was to provide for the local needs of the then foreign trained
lawyers and to provide the much needed practical training to
those aspiring to become Legal Practitioners in Nigeria. The
School started at Igbosere Street, near Obalende in Lagos
State, Nigeria, and was later moved to Ozumba Mbadiwe
Street in Victoria Island, Lagos, in 1969.
In 1997, it was relocated to Bwari, a suburb of Abuja,
Nigeria`s Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The need to
accommodate the ever-growing number of law graduates from
Nigerian universities (and their foreign counterparts desirous
of becoming lawyers in Nigeria) led to the decentralization of
the Nigerian Law School in 2001, with the creation of three
additional Campuses -— Enugu, Kano and Lagos —- in
addition to the Headquarters in Bwari, Abuja. Two more
Campuses were later created in 2011 in Yenagoa, Bayelsa
State and Yola, Adamawa State. In all, the Nigerian Law
School now has six fully functional Campuses —- (1) Bwari
Abuja (the headquarters); (2) Agbani (Augustine Nnamani
Campus), in Enugu State; (3) Bagauda, in Kano State; (4)
Victoria Island, Lagos; (5) Yola, in Adamawa State; and (6)
Yenagoa, in Bayelsa State.
The Council of Legal Education (CLE) the parent-body of
Nigerian Law School, was established in 1962, and saddled
with the responsibilitie for legal education of persons
seeking to become Legal Practitioners in Nigeria and with
such other powers and functions as the Council may consider
expedient for the purpose of performing its main functions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In
addition to having the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) degree from a
Nigerian University officially recognized, duly approved, by the
Council of Legal Education, an applicant for an admission into
the Nigerian Law School must also be a “fit and proper”
person for admission into the legal profession. For example,
an ex-convict, a member of a secret cult, a drug addict or
peddler, or an armed robbery gang member, etc., would be
considered not fit and proper, and accordingly disqualified,
even if the person graduated from a university with a first
class honours degree in law. Persons graduating from
university law faculties outside Nigeria, but who aspire to
become members of the Nigerian Bar, are made to undergo a
three-month/four-month Bar Part 1 training course at the Law
School headquarters, Bwari, Abuja, before being formally
admitted into the mandatory Bar Part 2 (Bar final)
programme; note that only students who are successful in the
Bar Part 1 programme are considered for an admission into
the Bar Part 2 course. The Bar Part 1 programme is aimed
chiefly at introducing the “foreign” law graduates to basic
aspects of the Nigerian legal system, such as Nigerian Land
Law, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Law of evidence,
Nigerian customary law, etc.
A student admitted into the Nigerian Law School could be
posted to any of the six Campuses of the School for the Bar
Part 2 programme. The School has prescribed certain
conditions, which its students must satisfy in order to qualify
for call-to-bar and enrolment as lawyers[vii] in Nigeria. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These
conditions include:
1) The aspirant must be fit and proper;
2) The aspirant must be successful at Nigerian Law School’s
Bar
Part 2 (bar final) examinations;
3) The aspirant must have participated in the mandatory
three-
dining (Law Dinner) terms at the Law School;[viii] and
4) The aspirant must be successful in the mandatory Portfolio
Assessment exercise organised in the Law School;[ix] and
5) The aspirant need now not be a Nigerian citizen.
As shown above, the bar aspirant’s country of origin or
nationality is immaterial for purposes of his/her admission
into Nigerian Law School.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> At the end of each bar part 2
academic session, the Council would recommend students
who meet these requirements, among others, to the Body of
Benchers for call to bar. They are admitted into the Legal
profession during call-to-bar ceremonies, usually held in
Abuja, after which they are enrolled at the Supreme Court as
Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It
needs to be emphasized that the concept of “fit and proper” is
a continuous one. Accordingly, every aspirant to the Nigerian
bar is expected to maintain a high standard of ethical
conduct, failing which he may be disqualified from admission
into the Law School, or, if already admitted, may be shown
the way out. Even after call-to-bar, a legal practitioner who
fails to observe the professional code of conduct would be
made to face professional discipline and, if found guilty, could
face serious punishments, such as warning, suspension from
practice or his name could be struck out from the roll[xii],
meaning that he ceases to be a member of the bar in Nigeria.
The idea behind this is that the legal profession is a noble
one; hence only those worthy in learning and character are
expected to be admitted into, and to remain in, it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Bar Part 2 academic programme runs for one year,
comprising three semesters or terms. It usually begins in
October or November of every year and ends in August or
September of the next. There could be variations, depending
on the university calendar. The academic session usually
begins with registration of students, which would last about
one week, after which the students are made to undergo a
one-week-long induction programme, designed to enlighten
them on the systems and working of the School, the rules and
code of conduct, as well as academic and professional
expectations from both the students and the lecturers, among
many other things, during and after the bar training. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Teaching
in the Law School under the New Curriculum is practice-
based, and is aimed at producing lawyers who would be in a
position to measure up to contemporary benchmarks and
international best practices in the legal profession. So, as part
of the induction programme, there are also mock trial sessions
organised for the students, and undertaken by the students
themselves, under lecturers` supervision. This is usually
tagged “induction mock trials,” and is held simultaneously in
all the six Campuses. During the mock sessions, the student
is made to play a part in simulated court trial proceedings,
designed to inculcate in the student basic advocacy skills and
courtroom decorum.
Formal classroom coaching in the Law School lasts twenty
weeks, and a total of five subjects are taught, namely –
Criminal Litigation, Civil Litigation, Property Law Practice,
Corporate Law Practice, and Professional Ethics & Skills
(formerly known as Law in Practice). Normal classroom
interaction takes the form of one course per day for each of
the five working days in a week. Criminal Litigation is taken
every Monday for twenty weeks; Civil Litigation on Tuesdays;
Property Law Practice on Wednesdays; Corporate Law Practice
on Thursdays; and Professional Ethics & Skills on Fridays. All
lecturers in each subject/department are expected to be in
class at the same time, and participate, during every
classroom interactive session on their course/subject. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Each
class starts with an overview of the topic for the day, followed
by small group and individual presentations on various
aspects of the topic, role-plays, debriefing, etc., depending on
the department. But, generally, it is a skills-based, interactive
and clinical method of learning that adequately prepares the
graduates for their roles as lawyers and equips them to
function optimally as barristers and solicitors. Every student is
made to participate actively, while the teachers play the role
of facilitators.
At the beginning of each academic session in the Law School,
students in each Campus are broken into groups. Each group
is expected to elect a Group Leader and an Assistant Group
Leader, who preside over activities of the Group. A Lecturer is
assigned to each group to act as the Group’s Mentor and
Advisor, with the primary responsibility of supervising the
Group’s (small group) meetings and assisting in resolving all
issues arising from such meetings, etc., and generally ensuring
a smooth functioning of the Group, in addition to disciplining
erring members of the group. In Lagos Campus, as in most
other Campuses, about four or five days before each next
class/lecture, the affected department sends to the students
the Lesson Plan, Contents, and Outcomes for the class as well
as scenario-based tasks for each of the student groups. Every
student is expected individually to study the topic in advance. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, on the eve of the class, each Group would hold a group
meeting, during which the topic slated to be taught in class
the following day is discussed extensively by members of the
group. The tasks assigned to the group are also discussed
and solved during the meeting.
On the lecture day (the day after the group meeting), each
group is expected to submit their solutions to the group tasks
to the class
lecturers/facilitators, not later than 9.00am; classes begin at
9.00am on each lecture day, and end at about 1.30pm, though
in some Campuses, this may extend a little beyond 1.30pm —
that is, till when the lesson contents are fully completed and
outcomes satisfactorily attained, depending on the
circumstances. Each Group must additionally submit an
attendance record of students that were present and
participated in the Group meeting the previous day, together
with their registration numbers and signatures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In some
departments, submission of Group tasks is done online, before
the lecture day, to official emails of the department (or of
lecturers in the department). Students who stay away from
group meetings are made to get queries, or to suffer other
punishments, in line with extant rules and regulations, for
nonattendance. This continues every day, every week, in each
subject for twenty weeks.
Attendance at classes throughout the twenty weeks of
lectures is mandatory; students who fail to meet the
mandatory 75 per cent attendance requirement are disqualified
from sitting for the bar part 2 exams; in other words, their
admission is deferred to the next session. Biometric record of
attendance is taken twice daily, in the morning before class,
and in the afternoon, immediately after class; in some
Campuses, manual signing of attendance registers is still
retained as a form of back-up. In the same vein, each student
is expected to attend all classes in strict regulation dress[,
failing which the defaulting student is not allowed entrance
into the lecture hall, and would consequently be adjudged
absent from class for the day. Every student must be attired in
a proper and dignified manner and abstain from any apparel or
ornament calculated to attract undue attention to himself or
herself.
At the end of the twenty weeks of lectures, students are sent
out on court and law office placement (externship
programme). Each student is placed in a court of law for
about seven weeks and immediately thereafter in a Law Office
for about five weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The objectives of the externship
programme are to develop the extern’s lawyering skills; to
make the extern understand various aspects of the legal
system as well as the legal profession; to inculcate in the
extern a sense of professional responsibility and values; and
to develop the extern’s ability to reflect and learn from his or
her experience. At the conclusion of the externship
programme, each student is made to appear before a Portfolio
Assessment Panel, the aim of which is basically to determine
to what extent each student has applied himself or herself to
the goals of the programme. Any student who scores below 70
per cent is disqualified from call-to-bar for that academic
session, even though he is still eligible to sit for the Bar Part 2
Exams for the year.
Depending on the nature of the problem that led to his or her
failure, the student would be sent back to repeat the
externship programme, and thereafter he/she would join
students in the next academic year during their own portfolio
assessment, and if successful, then, would be called to bar
with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What is more? There are two other assessment tests
administered on the students before the bar final
examinations. Snap tests are held any time during the first
and second terms (semesters), as each Campus may decide,
and thereafter there is the Pre-Bar (mock) examinations which
take place during the third and last term/semester, usually
immediately after the end of portfolio assessment, depending
on Management decisions. And then the Portfolio MCQ
(Multiple Choice Questions) Examinations, which were
introduced recently and are expected to hold immediately after
the conclusion of the Externship Programme. The Portfolio
MCQ examinations account for 20 per cent of each student`s
Bar final examination assessment and grades in each course.
Beside the aforesaid, there is another round of mock trial
proceedings after the portfolio assessment. Participation by
each student in the Mock Trials is mandatory. During the
mock trials, several Judges and Magistrates from High Courts,
Federal or State, and Magistrates` Court, located around the
states surrounding each Law School Campus, are invited to
preside over simulated court proceedings, the essence of
which is essentially to perfect the students’ advocacy skills in
preparation for real life practice as legal practitioners. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally,
for each Campus of the Law School, there is established a
Law Clinic, operated by Law School students (under their
lecturers’ supervision) and designed to, among other
objectives, provide pro bono legal services to members of the
public. At the end of all these activities, the students would sit
for the Bar Final Examinations in all the five courses taught.
And those who succeed in the exams and who have met all
the other requirements, as stated above, would be
recommended to the Body of Benchers for formal call-to-bar
and enrolment as Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme
Court of Nigeria, while those who are unsuccessful would wait
and prepare for Bar Final (resit) exams, which usually hold in
or around April/May in every year.
All in all, it could be seen that vocational training at the
Nigerian Law School under the New Curriculum is not just
business as usual. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The system appears somewhat challenging,
and is designed to ensure that only serious-minded people are
enrolled into the legal profession, which itself is rather
tasking. Accordingly, success in the Law School depends
much more on hard work and determination than on mere
possession of talent; at the Nigerian Law School, hard work
would beat talent if talent does not work hard. There is no
room for anything goes; the School is not a dumping ground
for the “never-do-wells,” who try to get enlisted into the legal
profession through the back door. The good news, however, is
that, with focus, determination and hard work, making a first
class in the Law School is just as easy as reciting ABCD. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many have come, many have seen and many have conquered
bar part 2. If they could do it, just anyone else can, with the
right frame of mind and a positive attitude! Like life itself, bar
part 2 has no limitations, except those limitations one decides
to set for oneself. </span><br />

<br />
The Council of Legal Education (CLE) is the only body entitled or legally empowered to prescribe conditions or additional pre-conditions for admission into the Nigerian Law School. Section 1 (1) of the Legal Education (Consolidation) Act, 1976 establishes the CLE (Council of Legal Education) as a body corporate”with perpetual succession and a common seal.” Section 1 (2) then provides that it (the CLE) “shall have responsibility for the legal education of persons seeking to become members of the legal profession” in Nigeria. Note also that the CLE has the responsibility of continuing legal education in Nigeria (under section 3). The Nigerian Lawschool is the final coaching ground for all who intends to be a lawyer before they are finally called to the bar. All over the world the legal profession is widely seen and regarded as one of the noblest profession in the history of mankind. Law being one of the most dignifying and prestigious course to study in the world alongside with Medicine and Engineering most parents secretly or openly wants to have one in the family. As the saying goes “Nothing good comes easy”, so it is in wanting to be a lawyer. To qualify as one in Nigeria, you must first of all obtain a law degree which must take you five years or more depending on certain factors like internal or external strikes or crisis seen in most higher institution in Nigeria. Then when you are done with the battle, you will have to be admitted into the Nigerian Law School (NLS), which comprises of 6 campuses, namely: Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Kano ,Bayelsa, and Yola. All these campuses are headed by the Deputy Director-Generals. The NLS grades her students final performance using first class, second class, pass, conditional pass and fail. The method of grading is of very peculiar in nature, in the sense that a student is graded based on his/her lowest grade in any of the courses. This simply means that if a student takes 5 courses and gets 4 As and 1C, such student automatically gets a pass grade regardless of the other As he had in other courses. NLS, is of two parts , the Bar part 1, which is designed for those who obtained their law degrees abroad (ie foreign students), the following courses are offered in this part 1;Nigerian Legal System, Nigerian Land Law, Constitutional Law and Criminal Law.

Courses for Bar part II include: Civil Procedure Law, Company Law and Commercial Practice, Law Office Management and General paper, Professional Ethics, Drafting and Conveyancing and Legal Practitioners Account.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Future of <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamichambers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">legal</a> education in Nigeria is patterned after the system in England except that whereas lawyers in England are solicitors or barristers, all lawyers in Nigeria qualify and can practice as both barristers and solicitors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Legal education in Nigeria consists of <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/learn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">academic</a> study for 4 to 5 years (depending on the mode of entry) in a law faculty and a year in the law school followed by call to the Nigerian Bar and enrollment as a legal practitioner at the Supreme Court.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is the National Universities Commission (NUC) that established minimum academic standards for the conferment of law degrees (LL.B).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Likewise, the Council of Legal Education has established requirement which a law <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/academy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">degree</a> must satisfy before it can qualify its holder for admission into the Nigerian Law School for a BL. This therefore subjects law faculties to two accreditations: one by the NUC and another by the Council of Legal Education (CLE).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In recent times, there has been growing concern about the deterioration of Nigeria’s <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamiacademy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">educational</a> system stemming from the quality of our university graduates, which has become less than satisfactory and the law graduates are no exception. Hence the growing demand for reforms not only in legal education but of the entire educational system in the country.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since lawyers are required to have legal education before they can be called to the Bar, what constitutes the purpose of legal education?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to NUC’s document on Minimum <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/academy/#.V-J8bJljlus.blogger" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Academic</a> Standards for law in Nigerian universities: “Academic legal education should therefore act, first, as a stimulus to stir the student into the critical analysis and examination of the prevailing social, economic and political systems of his community and, secondly, as an intellectual exercise aimed at studying and assessing the operation, efficacy and relevance of various rules of law in society.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Undoubtedly, all human activities in their social, economic, political and environmental contexts, take place within a legal framework. It is therefore necessary, according to the NUC revised Minimum <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/academy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Academic</a> Standards for <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/law" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Law</a>, “that the student of law should also have a broad general knowledge and exposure to other disciplines in the process of acquiring legal education.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In line with contemporary global practice, the NUC considered the merger of the revised Minimum <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamiacademy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Academic</a> Standards (MAS) with the Benchmark Style Statements into one new document known as (BMAS), wherein, “<a href="http://www.olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the training in law is specifically aimed at producing lawyers whose level of education would equip them properly to serve as advisers, solicitors or advocates to governments and their agencies, companies, business firms, associations, individuals and families, etc.</a>”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The above aim underscores the fact that “the role of lawyers is a pervasive one, straddling the political, economic and social life of the society. After all, lawyers are instrumental to whatever situation any country may find itself. <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/law" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lawyers</a>, as judges, in private or corporate practice, in the academics or in government, shape the society and the lives of their fellow human beings.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, a lawyer can only be as good as the system of legal education that produced him. Legal education (both academic and vocational) is a vital ingredient that affects the quality of our justice system and the role of lawyers in the political, economic and social development of our country.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been rightly argued that “the study of law must not end with the imbibing of general principles of law; it must involve law in action; in all its ramifications. The relationship of law to social, economic and political realities of life must be encompassed.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Improving the quality of legal education and of young lawyers</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A number of legal scholars, jurists, legal practitioners and the Nigerian Bar Association, have, in recent times, repeatedly pointed out the following standards in legal education and in the performance of young lawyers and all have identified various factors responsible for this disturbing phenomenon. These factors include: lack of consistency on the part of both NUC and CLE in ensuring compliance with the Benchmark Minimum <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/learn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Academic</a> Standards (BMAS) for law in Nigerian universities and other stipulated requirements by the Council for Legal Education; grossly dishonest people adopted by some universities/law faculties to secure accreditation (full, provisional and interim) when in reality they are yet to meet the minimum requirements (in terms of staff mix, facilities, student- staff ratio, library holdings etc) stipulated by both NUC and CLE; poor quality and scope of the teaching and learning processes; lack of compulsory pupillage for young lawyers; inadequate mentoring and ridiculously low welfare package for young lawyers and poor funding/financing of education (legal education inclusive) in Nigeria.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hence the need for improving the quality of legal education and of the performance of young lawyers in Nigeria. As of how, several proposals have been offered at several fora ranging from: - making the Nigerian Law School programme a two-year programme, to introducing practical/clinical training into legal education, making <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/law" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">law</a> a postgraduate degree programme, scrapping the Nigerian Law School entirely and making the Council of Legal <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/learn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Education</a> an examination board (the USA system) etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Strategies for improving the quality of <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/legal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">legal</a> education and of the young lawyers in Nigeria</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From the above analysis, the outstanding question remains unanswered: what are the effective strategies for improving the quality of legal <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamiacademy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">education</a> and of the young lawyers in Nigeria?; are we to continue with our reactionary and curative approach to the challenges at hand or are we determined to be more proactive in our approach to addressing same and in earnest search for durable solutions to addressing national problems using law.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, does the answer to the falling standard of legal education or declining quality in the performance of young lawyers lay necessarily in the proposed two-year period at the law school?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Respectfully, the answer is no, because for a durable solution to the crisis at hand, we must collectively address the need for more <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/learn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">skills-based</a> and practice-oriented syllabus and scope of learning within the existing calendar; promote compulsory pupillage for young lawyers after graduation from the law school before graduates can practice on their own; ensure adequate mentoring and a dignified and sustainable welfare package for young <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/legal" target="_blank">lawyers</a> to motivate them to work harder; advocate for improved financing for qualitative academic legal education and prudent management of resources at the universities/law faculties.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Undoubtedly, the introduction of Clinical Legal Education (CLE) in law faculties will lay the foundation for law students to carry with them throughout their professional career a great sense of professional commitment to the ethics and values of public service, subject however, to the availability and management of basic and relevant <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/computers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Information and Communications Technology</a> related infrastructural facilities.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This leads to our next discussion on the future of legal education in Nigeria.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The future of legal education</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Undoubtedly, the future of <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/legal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">legal</a> education in Nigeria lies essentially, though not exclusively, in the following:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I. Our collective efforts to develop a plan of action and strategic implementation framework to address the identifiable factors responsible for the falling standards of legal education and the quality of performance of young lawyers. This requires us to carefully develop the relevant measurable/verifiable indicators and benchmarks for durable solutions to the problems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">II. Our collective resolve to addressing the threats, opportunities and challenges that ICT poses to law, the legislature, the Bar, the Bench and the <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamiacademy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">academia</a>; and to our understanding of the impact of ICT on legal education in the 21st Century.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">ICT has come to stay and Nigeria is fast becoming a heavy user of the internet for information, communication, research, electronic commerce and banking transactions; it is spending millions of naira on the internet. There are growing indications that along with the expansion of legitimate internet use, Nigeria is acknowledged to be experiencing a rising tide of cybercrimes and cyber-insecurity and this follows a global pattern that has become glaring. Hence the justification for the coming into force of the Cybercrime Act, 2015 and the Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy, 2014.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The existence of cybercrime is bound to raise issues of Cyberjurisdiction which can be seen as territorially border less and multi jurisdictional because of the ease with which a user can access information, electronic communications and transact online; as well as commit cybercrimes using the same internet and other ICT tools.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Evidently, the use of electronic medium that disregards geographical boundaries throws the law, the Bar, the Bench, the academia and the law enforcement agencies into disarray by creating entirely new phenomena that need to become the subject of clear legal rules that cannot be governed, satisfactorily, by any current territorially-based sovereign law. Any insistence on reducing online transactions to a legal analysis based on geographic terms present, in effect, a new problem on a global scale.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/computers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Objectives of ICT in legal education</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another question that readily comes to mind is; what are the main objectives of ICT within the context of legal studies and practice? It is considered that ICT should among other objectives: (i) Facilitate the storage, retrieval and dissemination of vital legal information for the successful pursuit of legal research and study.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(ii) Enable large number of students and researchers to have ready access to case law and other legal materials more efficiently than having them queue up for access to a limited number of books in the library.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(iii) Facilitate effective communication between teachers and students, particularly in distance <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamiacademy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">learning</a> and continuing education programmes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the ICT platforms include:- E-mail communication; diverse electronic discussion forums - forums such as Facebook, Twitter and various chat rooms enable participants pose questions and articulate views on diverse academic issues; legal data bases and video conferencing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Further, our collective resolve to understanding and addressing the opportunities and challenges that globalization presents to legal education in Nigeria and how to survive in an era of global competitiveness for legal service delivery, e.g., what does it mean to have a legal education in a globalized digital environment of the 21st century? Is there a commonality for all law students as to having basic <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/legal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">legal</a> education (with knowledge, skills and values inclusive)? What are the core competencies which every law graduate should have? These are questions which need to be addressed by the Bar and the academia before we set guidelines or standards.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Furthermore, the law faculties and the National Association of Law Teachers need to expedite action in establishing the Nigerian <a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/academy/#.V-J8M-go9cs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Academy</a> of Law, whose critical role among others, is to mobilize, aggressively, technical, human, material and financial resources for the progressive realization of the ultimate goal and objectives of legal education in an era of globalization and ICT.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, the future of <a href="https://www.sites.google.com/site/olayinkaoyelamichambers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">legal</a> education in the 21st Century digital age requires us to respectfully treat all stakeholders as equal and to live above the on-going BLAME THEORY in order to ensure that critical role of lawyers and legal <a href="http://oocorp.com.ng/wp/learn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">education</a> in promoting national development is sustainable and the gains should remain irreversible in the best interest of justice, the public and the present and future generations. </span><a href="http://olayinkaoyelamicorporation.com/wp/academy/#.V-J8bJljlus.blogger" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Academy – OlayinkaOyelamiCorporation (OOCORP)</a></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">CRABIEL SCHOLARSHIP
WINNER - won $3,000 scholarship</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">Like Mr. Crabiel, I
literally work tirelessly in many academic and leadership roles. I sleep no more
than six hours a night because of my desire to expertly meet my many
commitments. Throughout my life, I have worked as long and as hard as I possibly
can to effect beneficial changes in both school and society.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">During the summer of
tenth grade, I took a number theory course at Johns Hopkins University with
students from Alaska, California, and Bogota, Colombia. Similarly, during the
summer following eleventh grade, I was one of ninety students from New Jersey
selected to attend the Governor's School in the Sciences at Drew University. At
Drew, I took courses in molecular orbital theory, special relativity, cognitive
psychology, and I participated in an astrophysics research project. For my
independent research project, I used a telescope to find the angular velocity of
Pluto. With the angular velocity determined, I used Einstein's field equations
and Kepler's laws to place an upper bound on the magnitude of the cosmological
constant, which describes the curvature of space and the rate of the universe's
expansion.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">In addition to
learning science, I recently lectured physics classes on special relativity at
the request of my physics teacher. After lecturing one class for 45 minutes, one
student bought many books on both general and special relativity to read during
his study hall. Inspiring other students to search for knowledge kindles my own
quest to understand the world and the people around me.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">As president of the
National Honor Society, I tutor students with difficulties in various subject
areas. In addition, I am ranked number one in my class with an SAT score of 1580
and SATII scores of 750 in math, 760 in writing, and 800 in physics. In school,
I take the hardest possible courses including every AP course offered at the
high school. I am the leading member of the Math Team, the Academic Team, and
the Model Congress Team. In the area of leadership, I have recently received the
Rotary Youth Leadership Award from a local rotary club, have been asked to
attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Law and the Constitution in
Washington D.C., and wrote the winning essay on patriotism for South
Plainfield's VFW chapter. Currently enrolled in Spanish 6,I am a member of both
the Spanish Club and the Spanish Honor Society. In addition, I recently was
named a National Merit Scholar.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">Besides involvement in
academic and leadership positions, I am active in athletics. For instance, I
lift weights regularly. In addition, I am the captain of my school's varsity
tennis team. So far this year, my individual record on the team is 3-0.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">Working vigorously
upon being elected Student Council President, I have begun a biweekly
publication of student council activities and opinions. Also, the executive
board under my direction has opened the school store for the first time in
nearly a decade. With paint and wood, we turned a janitor's closet into a
fantastic store. I also direct many fund raisers and charity drives. For
instance, I recently organized a charity drive that netted about $1,500 for the
family of Alicia Lehman, a local girl who received a heart transplant.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">As Student Liaison to
the South Plainfield Board of Education, I am working to introduce more
advanced-placement courses, more reading of philosophy, and more math and
science electives into the curriculum. At curriculum committee meetings, I have
been effective in making Board members aware of the need for these courses. In
addition, my speeches at public Board meetings often draw widespread support,
which further helps to advance my plans for enhancing the curriculum.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">I have also been
effective as a Sunday school teacher. By helping elementary school students
formulate principles and morals, I make a difference in their lives every week.
The value system that I hope to instill in them will last them their entire
lives. I find teaching first-graders about Christ extremely rewarding.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">Clearly, I have
devoted my life both to working to better myself and to improving civilization
as a whole. Throughout the rest of my life, I hope to continue in this same
manner of unselfish work. Just as freeholder Crabiel dedicates his life to
public service, I commit my life to helping others and to advancing society's
level of understanding.</span></div>

Essay Two</span></b></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">WINNING
NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLAR ESSAY</span>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">Nothing in
all the world is comparable to reading Ayn Rand beneath New York's skyline or to
studying Nietzsche atop a mountain summit.</span>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">Since
childhood, the studies of philosophy and science have interested me profoundly.
Having read many books on relativity, quantum mechanics, existentialism,
religion, capitalism, democracy and post-Aristotelian philosophy, my quest for
knowledge has only intensified. Certainly, the purpose of my life is to discover
a greater understanding of the universe and its people. Specifically, I plan to
better grasp the interrelationship among forces, matter, space, and time. In
addition, I hope to find a unified field theory and a convincing explanation for
the birth of the universe.</span>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">During the
summer of tenth grade, I took a number theory course at Johns Hopkins University
with students from Alaska, California, and Bogota, Colombia. My attendance of
the New Jersey Governor's School in the Sciences is another accomplishment that
exemplifies my dedication to knowledge. During the summer following eleventh
grade, I took courses in molecular orbital theory, special relativity, cognitive
psychology, and I participated in an astrophysics research project. For my
independent research project, I used a telescope to find the angular velocity of
Pluto. With the angular velocity determined, I used Einstein's field equations
and Kepler's laws to place an upper bound on the magnitude of the cosmological
constant, which describes the curvature of space and the rate of the universe's
expansion.</span>
</span></div>

at the request of my physics teacher. After lecturing one class for 45 minutes,

various subject areas. Moreover, I am ranked number one in my class, and I am
the leading member of the Math Team, the Academic Team, and the Model Congress
Team. In the area of leadership, I have recently received the Rotary Youth

National Youth Leadership Forum on Law and the Constitution in Washington D.C.
Currently enrolled in Spanish 6,I am a member of both the Spanish Club and the
Spanish Honor Society.</span>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">As student
council president, I have begun a biweekly publication of student council
activities and opinions. Also, the executive board under my direction has opened
the school store for the first time in nearly a decade and is finding speakers
to speak at a series of colloquia on topics ranging from physics to politics.
Directing fund raisers and charity drives also consumes much of my time. For
instance, I recently organized a charity drive that netted about $1,500 for the
family of a local girl in need of a heart transplant.</span>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;">Consistent
with my love of freedom and my belief in democracy, which is best summarized by
Hayek's Road to Serfdom, I have recently initiated an application to become the
liaison to the local board of education. Also, in keeping with my belief that
individuals develop strong principles and ideology, I teach Sunday school three
months a year and have chaperoned for a local Christian school.</span>
</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: large;">Outside pure
academics and leadership roles, I lift weights five times a week for an hour
each day. In addition, I play singles for my school's varsity tennis team.
Because I find extraordinary satisfaction in nature and have dedicated my life
to its understanding, I enjoy mountain climbing. Among the notable peaks I have
reached are Mt. Washington, Mt Jefferson, Mt. Madison, Mt. Marcy and Mt.
Katahdin. Unquestionably, my life's aim is to dramatically raise the height of
the mountain of knowledge so that my successors may have a more accurate view of
the universe around them.</span></div>
