What does it take to attend the Nigerian Law School, pass the prescribed examinations and be called to the Nigerian Bar? The answer is in Tales from School of Laws, an epistolary account of a student’s sojourn at the Nigerian Law School, from admission up to Call to the Bar.

The author uses humour, even laughing at himself, to share his experience with his audience
