By Innocent Anaba
LAGOS \u2014 Immediate past Lagos Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Olasupo Shasore, SAN, weekend, said that the yet to be appointed Federal Attorney General and Minister of Justice, need not be a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, to carry out his duties effectively.<\/p>\n

He also warned that for the legal profession not to go into extinction, a conference on Law and Justice Sector Reform to include judges, lawyers and academia shoulf be urgently convened.<\/p>\n

Speaking at meeting of Egbe Amofin for Yoruba\u00a0 lawyers in Lagos, Shasore,\u00a0 listed the \u201cdisposition to the legal profession and ability to advance the\u00a0 traditions of the profession\u201d as other criteria to be\u00a0 considered by President Goodluck Jona-than in appointing the next\u00a0 chief legal officer for the country.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cexcept we take urgent steps now to design, formulate a\u00a0 functional\u00a0 law and justice sector agenda, the legal profession will in few years time go into extinction. I, therefore, call for the\u00a0 conference on law and justice sector reform to discuss among others, law and\u00a0 justice development plan and Nigerian Law School.\u201d<\/p>\n

The need to adhere to the ethics of the legal profession, need for proper regulation of law reporting with the establishment of an independent Law Report Commission and the confusion over the constitutional clothing of the National Industrial Court, NIC, were\u00a0 some of the areas he touched in his presentation.<\/p>\n

He called for the enforcement of the Rules of Professional Conduct, RPC,\u00a0 as it\u00a0 relates to lawyers\/client relationship, professional misconduct, advertising , observance of the traditions of the bar, and\u00a0 the need to separate the office\u00a0 of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice .<\/p>\n

The meeting was hosted by the former First Vice-President, Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mrs.Olufunke Adekoya\u00a0 chaired by Chief Bamidele Aiku and attended by two former NBA\u00a0 Presidents, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN and Chief\u00a0 Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN and former General Secretary of NBA, Elder Dele Adesina, SAN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
