Equity in motion

Good day partners! We had a beautiful week which was capped with a wonderful chamber meeting in the early hours of Friday (29-01-2016). The attendance was awesome (we hope to improve on that though).  Every presentation was a hit back to back, from the Opening prayer to the the Minute reading, from the Introduction of executives to the Lecture/Charge segment, from the Discussion segments to the Collection of dues, from the A.O.B to the Recognition of new members, from the Adjournment of meeting to the Closing prayers. Topic for discussion segment was "DEATH PENALTY A PANACEA FOR CRIME, CORRUPTION, AND TERRORISM IN NIGERIA".  Lovely contributions from different angles and our 100 level partners added life to it all with different scholarly submissions. It was a meeting to remember.  EQUITARIANS OF THE WEEK Here is the beautiful Face of Equity for the week NAME: Nwauzoma Felicity Onyekachi LEVEL: 100 level HOBBIES: cooking and reading L...

You’ve probably heard the metaphor, “It’s all Greek to me,” when someone doesn’t understand or is totally flummoxed by a subject or situation. The law is “Greek” to many people: it’s frequently misunderstood and legal terminology is misused by most people. Take, for instance, the person who comes home to find that their home has been broken into while they were away and their television, stereo and other belongings have been taken. They phone the police and proclaim, “I’ve been robbed!” In fact, since they were not home and the belongings were not taken from their person or the immediate vicinity of their person, they were not robbed; rather, their home was burglarized. The confusion is understandable, since people watch a lot of television and actors often dramatically moan, “I’ve been robbed!” Sometimes they are correct, but more often the term is used in error. This is easily explained since most screenwriters haven’t gone to law school. One simplified distinction is that ro...

Professor Corinne Cooper + University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Law Credit:  www.123rf.com   I sit down today to write you a letter to read before you start law school.  I know that you are filled with grand anticipation and a little dread.  It's a natural reaction.  I hope that I will be able to assuage some of your concern, and to help you get a good night's sleep.  Please know, however, that after eighteen years (twenty-one if you count my years as a student) in law school, I still cannot sleep the night before fall classes start.  When that edge of anticipation is gone, I suppose I'll know that it's time to retire. I am hard pressed to know where to begin in my advice to you.  My perspective on the process of legal education is skewed by the years I've spent immersed in it.  Perhaps an outsider could explain the process better. Perhaps I no longer remember what it is like to be a first-year student.  I may h...
