Important developments in the law and the expansion of the egal profession in Nigeria has brought in recent years major changes to the structure of the Courts and to the administration of justice. The Nigerian Legal System has therefore been specially written to provide law students, and those in the legal profession, with a new insight into the structure and organisation of the law as it operates today within Nigeria.
An experienced teacher of law at the University of Lagos, the author has focused on those aspects of the law that are of the essence in providing students with a true explanation and understanding of how the law works. The book includes chapters on Sources of Law, the Structure of the Courts and “the Legal Profession, together with a concise guide to both criminal and civil procedure.
This book will prove to be required reading for every law student as well as an invaluable aid and source of information to those practising or teaching law in Nigeria.
