NOTICE: 13th July 2017 Call To Bar Ceremony

After the bar finals of April 28th 2017., the Council of Legal
Education will be unleashing over 1,393 students who were
successful and eligible to be called to the Nigerian Bar. The
ceremony which will last for 3 days, holding at the International
Conference Centre, Abuja, will be spilt into 2 sessions; 10am and
3pm sessions on the 13th of July,2017.

The traffic in the Abuja Metropolis would be expected to be
unbearable throughout the days of the event.

This is as a result of the arrival of the new lawyers and their
family members, friends and well wishers who have come from all
over the country to witness their wards wear the wig and gown for
the first time.

We could also understand that some candidates have been in town
for over a week to be screened and for subsequent collection of
invitation cards, which will admit their family and friends into
the auditorium.

The “new wigs” are expected to be settled at the auditorium
before the designated time. The highlight of the event is usually
when the Chief Justice of the occasion orders the candidates to put
on their wigs.

The lunch/dinner follows suit at the same venue, with the guests
ordered out of the conference hall, before the “new wigs” start
eating. We could interpret that as anything, though some call it
the initiation….

Congratulations to our new set of lawyers!
