Nigeria Lawyers Directory Provides Free Professional Premium Services And Legal Information

The Nigeria Lawyers Directory is a modern professional legal directory of Nigerian lawyers or legal practitioners (persons formally licensed or accredited to practise law in Nigeria as Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, also referred to as attorneys and advocates) and law firms (law offices, law practice, or law chambers) owned by Nigerian lawyers.

All the premium directory services, access to diverse aspects of Nigerian public legal information (laws), Nigerian and international legal scholarship, Nigerian national and international legal news, and other invaluable legal resources the Nigeria Lawyers Directory provides are absolutely free.

The Directory shares its publisher’s assertion and conviction that the right of free access to all categories of public legal information (laws) is a stand-alone or substantive human right, as discussed extensively and proposed in his 628-page, 187,724-word doctoral (PhD) thesis, The Human Right of Free Access to Public Legal Information: Proposals for its Universal Recognition and for Adequate Public Access. His Human Right of Free Access to Public Legal Information Advocacy (HURAPLA) website is dedicated to his postdoctoral advocacy for the universal recognition of the right of free access to public legal as a human right.

The Importance Of The Nigeria Lawyers Directory

The importance of the Nigeria Law Directory to Nigerian law firms and Nigerian lawyers include the following:

• Free online presence of Nigerian law firms and lawyers, which in itself is crucial in this age of breathtaking developments in information and communications technology for personal and corporate branding and identity, as the absence of such professional online presence is now embarrassing;
• Free local, regional, national, and international publicity of the mainstream professional services that Nigerian law firms and lawyers provide, which may boost their clientele;
• Free local, regional, national, and international publicity on the products that Nigerian law firms and lawyers provide (e.g. books, articles, and other law-related businesses) which has become an indispensable marketing strategy for promoting every product;
• Local, regional, national, and international professional networking with lawyers and law firms in an exclusive legal forum beyond the social media offerings with their inherent limitations;
• Local, regional, national, and international limelight for opportunities available for research in legal and law-related institutions, universities, companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), and governments; and
• Awareness of professional local, regional, national, and international legal developments from automatic email alerts on every new published resource that every law firm and every lawyer who has created an entry or listing in the Directory receives.
