Empirical Legal Research Questionnaire on Access to Nigerian Law for a Law-Reform and Policy-Relevant Academic Legal Research
Introduction to the Questionnaire and the Research
Hello, Distinguished Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Learned Seniors, and Learned Colleagues!
I am requesting your kind assistance to complete this online questionnaire, which is for Nigerian Lawyers (that is, persons who have been called to the Nigerian Bar as Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Nigeria) only, please. I am a Nigerian Lawyer who was called to the Nigerian Bar three decades ago.
The questionnaire is the instrument for an empirical law-reform and policy-relevant academic legal research on access to all categories of Nigerian law, including legislation (statute law), case law (court decisions or judgments), and indigenous customary law. The research aims to contribute to the modernisation of the Nigerian legal system, especially the human-rights issue of access to laws, which will benefit all Nigerian lawyers and citizens.
The questionnaire is anonymous (you are not required to provide your name) because only honest answers are necessary, so your identity is not disclosed.
This online questionnaire has been designed to make it possible to reach Nigerian lawyers all over Nigeria, for the best possible nationwide coverage.
It takes just few minutes to complete the questionnaire on your mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or any device you are using.
Please, contribute to the promotion of the human right of all Nigerians to know the laws that regulate their conduct and activities, modernisation of the Nigerian legal system, and the development of Nigerian law by completing this questionnaire.
Thank you so much for your precious time.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in International Human Rights Law, Legal Informatics (the application of information technology to legal processes and legal information systems), Indigenous Customary Law, and Indigenous Rights. Dr. Mitee is the global pioneer advocate of the universal recognition of the right of free access to public legal information as a substantive human right.
