The Legal Practitioner’s Privileges Committee has announced the availability of 2023 forms for Lawyers wanting to become Senior Advocates of Nigeria , to start the process by buying their forms.
In the notice, signed by LPPC Secretary/Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Hajo Sarki Bello, the period for obtaining the application starts from January 1, and closes on March 31, 2023. The notice also stated that the invitation was in accordance to Section 5 of the Legal Practitioners Act, 2004, and Regulation 10 of the Guidelines for the Conferment of the Rank of SAN 2023.
“Commencing with this year’s exercise, applications shall only be made online, and prospective applicants are directed to visitIt notified prospective applicants that each person “must pay a non-refundable processing fee of N1 million only to any of the following accounts held in the name of the ‘Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee ’: Account Number: 1014103141, at Zenith Bank PLC and Account No. 0213662834 at GTBank PLC.
Some legal practitioners in the country, aside the increase from N600,000 to N1,000,000, have particularly queried the reasonableness of the fixed fee, given the disparity in earnings between Lawyers, and how the fee may have excluded some eminently qualified Lawyers from attaining the coveted rank.
