COURT EXTERNSHIP : Entry 1

I had plans for the two weeks break, had it all planned out in my head, study, work out, stay the F away from carbs and sugar. All I did was sleep, eat carbs and stock up on sugar, I feel like a failure, well not entirely but I'm the real definition of a waste man, Didn't realize how tired I was until I started taking naps during the day yet not finding it difficult to sleep at night. We started our externship . Yay! My posting got changed to Igbosere, got the email while I was in Ikeja High Court, I love criminal litigation, practicing in Nigeria doesn't look that bad. The Judge heard 16 cases, some which were for arraignment but the accused person's did not show up. It's a complete different ball game, been there watching everything we were thought in class being put into practice . Commercial is not as exciting as criminal but , I like the court. The judge hears cases on Land, landlord and tenant, general civil.  breach of contract and some corporate issues...

WEEK 20

I made it guy's!  Last week of lectures, yet another stressful week . I think i stopped caring at week 19, i physically, emotionally and mentally drained. Ditched  some lectures, walked out of others, had to talk myself into getting out of bed some times but you guy's have no idea how it feels to be in the last week of Law School Lectures. Law school itself is not over but no more sitting in the auditorium for hours,waiting for break and praying for lectures to end for the day No more holding my breathe when the lecture starts calling out student number's because I didn't read the topic or attend group meeting the night before. No more driving like a manic in traffic when I wake up late in order to get in before 9am. No more smelly toilets.

WEEK 13

Hi guys, This weeks has been a busy one from the start. I'm going to try to go into more details on how my week by separating the days. Hopeful the posts don't get boring. Monday I got into a bit of trouble with student services for having multiple piercings on my ears, I smiled at the lady and she let me in. We finished criminal litigation early and I was excited to go home early only to remember Tuesday was the deadline given to complete medicals.  I assumed I didn't have to do it since I was not staying on campus, students are very fond of leaving things until last minute so the second the lecturer announced the end of class I didn't wait to thumbprint. Walked to the clinic as fast as I could, completed the process in 45 minutes and went back to thumbprint at ICT, I took my medical card as proof to show I wasn't ditching lectures. Got home before 4. Tuesday Long day , civil litigation takes a lot of time and the lectures always have stories to tell but th...

Story so far

Hi guys, Sorry I've been MIA. I've made several attempts to post but my Internet as been acting up and my phone is not connecting to the laptop so I'm going to post from my phone. Law school has been a new experience, first I moved to the hostel so no more driving to Bwari from  town everyday my bank account is glad. At first I felt some how about my roommates but they cool as f#*# so happy days.

Registration/Day 1.

Hi Guys, So i just started started law school as some of you already know, I will be in Abuja for Bar I and hope I get to go back to Lagos for Bar II. Registration was very stressful due to rude and lazy staff a simple 20 minutes process took over four hours. My day started at 5:30 morning on Friday in order to get on the first flight to Abuja to register for law school, I had my friend pick me up from the airport only meet the gate  locked, the PA was't home leaving me to stand outside for over an hour with my boxes

I GOT IN!!!

Hi Guys, I got my admission into Law School.....Yay!!! Turn out my name was on the list since it came but I was entering the wrong application number hence the " status pending" I see each time I sign in. I went to Abuja on Monday but I'm back in Lagos to pack my bags and get all the necessary thing I need. My admission is provisional till my final results are released so fingers crossed , next few days are going to be hectic, I have to get a medical report in order to stay in the hostel since the drive from  my house to Bwari is over an hour and it's simply not worth the stress. I'm excited to start a new chapter in my life and also getting a step closer to been a legal practitioner, however, I'm not looking forward to wearing skirts for the next 18 months or living in the house with my dads PA who never stops talking and is kind of sleazy. Hopefully, I get all my stuff sorted before Friday so I can return to Abuja on Monday to start my Law school exp...
