Institution Reminds Students of Professional Rules
The Nigerian Law School has cautioned graduates against wearing legal wigs and gowns before they are officially called to the Bar.
The institution said the professional attire is reserved for qualified lawyers who have completed the required training and have been formally admitted into the legal profession.
The warning comes ahead of the Call-to-Bar ceremony, where successful law graduates are formally inducted as members of the Nigerian Bar.
Officials emphasized that students should follow established professional guidelines and avoid actions that could be considered inappropriate or a breach of legal tradition.
The Nigerian Law School noted that the wig and gown represent the authority, dignity and responsibilities associated with legal practice.
The institution encouraged aspiring lawyers to uphold the values of professionalism, discipline and respect for the legal system as they prepare for their careers.
The Call-to-Bar ceremony remains a significant milestone for law graduates in Nigeria, marking their transition from legal education into professional practice.
The school urged all candidates to comply with instructions and conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the standards expected of members of the legal profession.
