Benchers

Since the current crisis in the Body of Benchers has its origins ultimately in issues of membership, it is essential to dwell a little on the matter of its membership.

But the days of front benchers being put up for tough parliamentary debates or bruising media interviews just because they agreed with Corbyn have to end.

All the Commissioners so far were members of the back benchers.

Sad to read the MSM back benchers clamor for more global unrest.

But, with regards to the case of Miss Fidaus Amasa, the Body of Benchers released a report stating the decision they reached and the conditions attached.

The Body of Benchers and Nigerian Law School her hijab broke their dress codes and was not call to bar.

All students who pass the bar examinations – offered exclusively by the Nigerian Law School – are called to the Nigerian bar, by the Body of Benchers.

The Benchers also have the exclusive power of expelling or suspending a Bar student and of disbarring a barrister or suspending a barrister from practice.

The final decisions on these Memorials are taken by the Benchers.
