    Legal Clinics and Professional Skills Development in Nigeria

    International Journal of Clinical Legal Education Issue 17 Legal Clinics and Professional Skills Development in Nigeria S.K Mokidi and C.A. Agbebaku* Introduction The educational sector has a direct bearing on the social, economic, political and scientific development of a nation hence there have been increased anxieties, in recent times, about the deteriorating state of Nigeria’s educational system� The growing concerns stem from the quality of our university graduates, which has become less than satisfactory and the law graduates are no exception� Thus there is a growing demand for reforms not only in the training of lawyers but of the entire educational system in Nigeria� The declining professional skills of lawyers has taken an alarming trend over the last decade with the result that, clients most often do not get value for money paid for legal services and society does not also feel the much needed impact of lawyers� The present situation is attributed to a number of factors ranging from inadequate curriculum, inadequate manpower and training facilities both in the universities and the Nigerian Law School, to unfavourable government educational policies� The challenges confronting the 21st century Nigerian lawyer are growing every day� Some fifty years ago not many people in Nigeria knew about the computer or knew about Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test or how to apply it in evidence� Today the computer is a necessary household facility in Nigeria; today we are faced with the problem of how to apply electronic generated evidence� The

    SOCIO-LEGAL BARRIERS TO THE EXPANSION OF LEGAL AID IN NIGERIA: INITIATING LEGAL REFORM THROUGH THE CUSTOMARY COURT SYSTEM OLÚBÙNMI EUNICE ỌNÀFUWÀ Doctor of Philosophy School of Business and Law UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON July 2020 i Abstract The core of this study is directed towards an analysis of the laws, rules and guidelines that embody legal aid provision in present day Nigeria. This study will employ a socio-legal approach to investigate the root causes of Nigeria’s limited legal aid scheme. It will also focus on the relationship between law and society and will employ appropriate empirical research methods for an in-depth understanding of significant causal factors that influence legal aid provision in Nigeria. These factors will include an examination of Nigerian legal institutions, legal processes, and legal behaviour,1 particularly how legal institutions and legal processes affect individuals and how they are perceived by ordinary citizens and potential recipients of legal aid. This research considers the potential for other sources of law, and other legal institutions, such as customary legal systems, to be used as an additional, credible way to access, develop and expand legal aid provision in Nigeria. This study adopts two qualitative techniques: semi-structured telephone interviews and self- administered questionnaires, which were completed and returned via email. The request for respondents was launched on social media. In total, fifteen respondents partook in the study: twelve via self-administered questionnaires and three via telephone interviews. The inquiry was focused on a people’s perspective, the respondents were a variety of ages above 18, and evenly distributed by gender.
