The Federal Government should scrap the Nigerian Law School because current reality has shown that the institution has outlived its usefulness, a lawyer and former Director-General of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Dr. Sam Amadi, advised on Friday.

“Law as practiced is not taught in the law school. Stop the law school and the waste of resources. Accredit universities to do three to six months, just like they do in America. After graduating as a lawyer, you go and take classes and pass the instructions and get called to the bar. Then all the learning will happen at the law firms where senior lawyers now have obligation to train those young lawyers to understand the practice.

He said the model, now studied at Harvard is a unique way of knowledge transfer and is needed to save the law profession from moral disaster. “Today, the law and judiciary are the most corrupt parts of Nigerian society because everybody wants to make money. So I want to say that if we can restore pupillage and make it real and provide incentives for young people to go and learn, then we can save the law profession from a moral disaster. This is a totally disastrous state. The law professional is shameful and undignified because of the behavior of lawyers and judges.
