The Nigerian Bar Association Young Lawyers Forum (NBA YLF), Ikeja Branch, is set to host another impactful edition of its Monthly Continuing Legal Education Session on Wednesday, 19th June 2025. This month’s session promises to be both insightful and inspiring, as it focuses on the theme: "Your First 7 Years as a Lawyer – The Trial & Survival."
Slated to take place at 1 PM at the NBA Ikeja Secretariat, opposite the High Court in Ikeja, Lagos, the session will feature renowned legal practitioner and social justice advocate, Barrister Evans Ufeli Esq., as the guest speaker.
Barrister Ufeli, a respected voice in Nigeria's legal and civic space, brings with him a wealth of experience and a reputation for mentoring young professionals navigating the challenging terrain of legal practice. Known for his passion for justice, advocacy for human rights, and commitment to public interest litigation, his address is expected to provide practical guidance and moral encouragement to young lawyers working to establish their footing in the profession.
The event will delve into the realities of the early years of legal practice in Nigeria—ranging from court appearances, client management, law firm dynamics, and financial survival, to personal growth. True to the title, Barrister Ufeli will walk participants through the trials and survival strategies that shaped his own journey and that of many others.
