The Nigerian Law School has commenced the admission process for its Bar Part II Programme for the 2026/2027 academic session, with the Council of Legal Education urging prospective applicants and universities to ensure absolute accuracy in all application details.
The announcement was contained in a notice issued on Tuesday and signed by the Secretary to the Council and Director of Administration, Aderonke O. Osho.
According to the Council, admission into the Bar Part II Programme for graduates of Nigerian universities will be based strictly on lists of qualified candidates submitted by accredited universities, in line with the admission quota approved by the Council of Legal Education.
The Council directed universities to carefully compile and verify the details of all eligible graduates before forwarding their lists, stressing that candidates’ names, matriculation numbers and every other required information must be accurate.
Prospective applicants were equally advised to exercise caution while completing their application forms. The Law School stated that candidates must spell their names correctly, arrange them in the proper order and ensure that every section of the application form is completed accurately.
The institution further warned that abbreviations of names are not permitted and emphasized that all required fields must be completed as instructed.
In what appears to be one of the most significant directives for this admission exercise, the Nigerian Law School announced that it will not entertain any request for correction or amendment of applicants’ details after submission, regardless of whether such requests come from the applicants themselves or from their universities.
The Council noted that the policy places the responsibility for ensuring the correctness of all submitted information on both the applicants and the universities forwarding their names for admission.
The notice, however, did not specify a deadline for the submission of applications for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
