Layman's Right Of Audience Before Courts Of Law In Nigeria

In line with its title, the book identifies key issues associated with right of audience conferred on laymen by law to appear before courts. Written in plain language, the book examines the extent and exceptions to this right as well as appraises the age old assertion that in spite of their right of audience, laymen cannot validly address courts on points of law. In every chapter, case law scenarios are magnanimously supplied to enlarge understanding. The book also captures the rather controversial grounds on which the senate president of Nigeria, Bukola Saraki, was discharged and acquitted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal of all 18 count charges levelled against him by the federal government. A review of Nigeria's statutes on limitation period for initiating actions and the important role played by lawyers in the promotion and sustainability of standard of products and industries in the country are also articulately captured highlighting in the process, the challenges and prospects. Indeed, the book makes for interesting reading for both members and non members of the legal profession.
