Fate has smiled on law graduates from the National Open University (NOUN) has the Body of Benchers approves their admission into the Nigerian Law School.
However, the admission of NOUN law graduates to the Nigerian Law School is subject to some conditions. The first condition is that the admission is restricted to only 1,883 students from the National Open University and then, secondly, the law graduates will be subjected to 1-year remedial programme at the Law School.
The essence of the one year programme is to expose them to some rudimentary laws where they will undergo another round of teaching on the core Law courses: Law of Evidence, Introduction to Nigerian Law, Land Law” among other courses.
A more stringent condition is that any student who failed to pass part one of the Nigerian Law School will go home from there. This means that only those who pass the bar part one program will move on to bar part two. Furthermore, any student who failed the part one exam cannot re-apply to the Nigerian Law School. This means that admiting the NOUN Law Graduates to the Nigerian Law School is not automatic.
Also the approval is not meant to take effect immediately but until 2022 because of the current set who have been caught by the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Thus, there is need for the current batch to leave the Law School before the NOUN Law graduates can be admitted.
