Prospects in the Legal Profession (Contribution: Barr. Abah S. F)
Having
said much about career in law, law in Nigeria and qualities expected of good lawyers, the question now is “wetin lawyers dey do sef” i.e. what do
you do as a lawyer? There is no way even by the widest stretch of imagination
anyone can compress the lawyer’s work into an enclave or
within the dictates of particularities. This statement in all fairness however, should not be misunderstood to mean that a lawyer has no specific area of specialty. What it means is that there is hardly any sphere of life where a lawyer has no role to play.

By
the nature of their training, lawyers are thoroughly equipped to function in
virtually every aspect of our social life.
Lawyers are needed in government, in
the military and para-military, in companies, in foreign missions, banks,
industries, schools, politics, and so on.
Their
works in these places include but not restricted to the following:
1. Advocacy
in courts and other connected places
2. Drafting
of laws and
3. Giving
proper legal advise
4. Arbitration
and reconciliation
5. Deciding
cases as Judges
6. Registration
of companies
7. Teaching
law in Law schools and universities
8. Preparing
contracts and agreements
9. The
list is endless.
