1/ (5)Young lawyers may find it helpful to keep a "Chronicle of Mistakes".
In young age, we are bound to make mistakes. After a hearing is over, we have lots of second thoughts on what we could have done differently to win the case.

2/ "Fee is not always in cash. It can also be rewards of other kinds".
Since 1982, my fee policy is :
"Whatever you can pay. You should be comfortable. And I should also be comfortable. You should not expect me to spend from my own pocket".

University rankings are a constantly-gamed mess.
Their biases punish universities for trying to address societal problems.
And make it harder for students to find the best education for their needs.
Reckoning desperately overdue.

Thread (1 to 8 ) 1/ A liftman in my chamber building recently committed suicide. We are taught in colleges that Law is considered science of social engineering.
Then can we explain position of law relating to suicide of this liftman ?
Then can we explain position of law relating to suicide of this liftman ?
2/ He was in his 40th year. He used to salute me everytime I enter and leave lawyers chambers. Like all other lawyers, I also used to give him tips. But then nothing more.
3/ When I heard about his sudden suicide, I first time realised that he too was a human being with emotions. So far I used to see him only as a liftman.
Alas! Alas ! Alas ! If someone had told me this when I was young. I wish someone had told me then that โThe Road of Goals is filled with pebbles of gold.โ
All I needed to do was to lift pebbles and to finish goals mentioned under the pebbles.

If you will read earlier tweet in this thread again, you may find that the pebbles on the road to goals are very heavy.

3/ As I came out from the college, I saw that my friends were focusing on picking up pebbles of gold on the road of goals. I however kept gazing at stars, kept reading books and became an idealist. I did not gave much importance to pebbles.

With #finalexams approaching, many of you may be thinking about working/updating a #lawschool outline. Many of you may also be looking for additional practice questions and final exam resources and tips. I provide some below.
Many of you may have access to outlines already (some you created, some provided by bar vendors, some online, and some circulated among students).

I feel I must make this PSA: If you are considering financing anything through @CapitalOne, be very cautious. I have now gone 10 months without being able to legally drive my vehicle due to negligence on capital ones behalf, and they are trying to take zero responsibility for it.
I have been a long time customer, have 100% on time payment records, and continue to make a truck payment while unemployed for five months during Covid. Capital oneโs negligence not only cost me a ton of stress, but made it impossible for me to take jobs due to the fact that I
did not have a legal vehicle. It has been approximately two years since I refinance through them and they have still failed to properly transfer my information so that I can register this. I have spent so much time and effort taking off of work, lost money, paid fees to the DMV,

Every year when the Nigerian Law School (NLS) results are released, my heart is heavy because itโs immediately clear that the NLS grading system needs to be examined.
#nigerianlawschool #nls #lawschool #nigeria
#nigerianlawschool #nls #lawschool #nigeria
Last year, the success rate was amazing. However, this year in a class of 2515, approximately:
25% failed the exam
42% had a pass
25% had a second class lower
3% had a second class upper
0.19% obtained a first class.

I interact with young Nigerian lawyers daily. This is not a fair representation of their capacity. Less than 4% of the entire class had excellent results. These are not good statistics by any standard.
