This performance translates to an impressive 83.3% success rate at the bar final examinations.

Addressing the newly called lawyers, the Chairman of the Body of Benchers, retired Justice of the Supreme Court Mary Peter-Odili, acknowledged the challenges facing the judiciary, including conflicting judgments and indiscipline among lawyers.

Justice Peter-Odili emphasized the need for the legal profession to uphold integrity and professionalism, urging the new lawyers to avoid corruption and conduct that could tarnish the image of the judiciary.

She also highlighted efforts by the Body of Benchers to address the issue of conflicting judgments, stating, “In a bid to address this vexed issue of conflicting judgments, the Body of Benchers constituted a committee made up of ranking members of the profession.”
