Prior to colonization in many parts of Africa, traditional society had its own judicial system that is responsible for the administration of justice in that society. Nevertheless, the entry of European economic actors into society has led to the development of a judicial system that has laid the foundations for the future of contemporary jurisprudence in African societies. For example, in the 19th century, before the annexation of Lagos in 1861, the various societies that today make up Nigeria and other African countries operated their own political system with their own method of administering justice. There are traditional “courts” in which traditional rules are applied against the parties, whether indigenous or foreign. This duty of respect for defence counsel is to ensure that the professional reputation is maintained and, above all, that justice is done. Justice cannot be said if there is a serious misunderstanding between a court and the defense lawyer, in such a situation, a lawyer may invoke bias, the court must be wary of the lawyer and must avoid words or actions that might embarrass a lawyer. He should first remember that he is a lawyer and professional colleague. Nigerian law includes courts, criminal offences and various types of laws. Nigeria has its own constitution, which was adopted on 29 May 1999. The Constitution of Nigeria is the supreme law of the land. There are four different legal systems in Nigeria, namely English law, common law, common law and Sharia law. English law in Nigeria derives from colonial Nigeria, while common law is a development of its postcolonial independence.

[1] In 1913, qualified legal personnel lobbied to prevent C.J. to appoint a local lawyer because they were dragging the profession through the mud. OSHO DAVIES had his request on the table of the CJN, which was denied. He appealed to the plenary session of the plenary and found that C.J.`s discretion had been properly exercised in this regard. The lawyer earns his living by representing litigants in court. It also gives legal advice on matters referred to it by lawyers. A lawyer is appointed by the lawyer in one case, he has no direct contact with the litigant belonging to a law firm for a period of at least 4 years. The degree of studies was WASSCE. During the article as a lawyer, you must pass Part I of lawyers for 1.2 years and 2.2 years for Part II of lawyers. The body responsible for training to organize the bar examination is the Law Society. If someone has a law degree, they are exempt from Part 1 lawyers and will study for Part II lawyers, which is 2 years. The conference for lawyers did not become mandatory until 1922, because their work was more important than that of the lawyer.

The administration of justice in Nigeria has evolved and changed over the decades depending on the type of government structure and system of government. “Review and recommendation of future legal education and admission to exercise the right to be heard before a court and to enter into mutual agreements in this context with other countries” A lawyer may exercise this right, i.e. the right to representation and appearance, only for as long as it is available, and not if it is suspended or suspended for one reason or another, He ceases to be a lawyer and conducts his case personally only like any other member of the public. In such circumstances, he does not have the right to be heard or the right to represent a co-defendant/plaintiff in a legal action. See Fawehinmi v. N.B.A (1989) 2 N.S.C.C., 1 or (No.1) 1989 2 NWLR Pt 105 @ 494. Atake v. Afejukwu (1994) 12 SCNJ1OR (1994)9 NWR p.368 @379, where it was decided that the thesis that a lawyer who personally conducts his case acts as a lawyer is misunderstood. The majority of these UNSWORTH Committee recommendations were accepted by the government and implemented the Legal Education Act 1962 and the Legal Practitioners Act of the same year.

The Faculty of Law was established in late 1962 and delivered its 1.3-month course for eight students in a building acquired by the Council at No. 213 Igbosere Road, Lagos, from January to April 1963.
