WE NEED A NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Railing is ineffective and you can be accused of having sour grapes and yet, it still has to be said.
There is now a fundamental and structural failure of the Nigerian Legal Education system. So we need to do a needs assessment of what we want, where the Legal Education System is going and where we are going to tell our legal history to come off.
We of course need to do what we need for our time and our day with a frankness and candour that heals wounds and gets rid of resentments.

Survival of the fittest will always be the law of human nature however else we try to push but that is in the realm of private affairs. The public education system is built to be useful not useless and while we all will hustle no matter what it is a mean indicator of our way of life that we encourage or leave such a system in place

This is 2015: what does the World want from us and what do local clients want from us? What do we think we need?

It just seems like once the system has been designed the next move is to force everyone through it ? How about redesigning the deficient aspects of the system and producing more winners?

In closing it is not that the Nigerian Legal Education System is useless from birth. It's just that it doesn't seem to be addressing the needs of the individual lawyer, the law firm, the client and the Nigerian state.
