NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL WITHDRAWS BEST GRADUATE’S PRIZE, SANCTIONS STUDENTS

The Council of Legal Education (CLE), governing body of the Nigerian Law School, has withdrawn the Best Graduating Student in Professional Ethics prize following the circulation of a photograph which the Council considered inconsistent with expected professional standards and decorum.

The Council also approved disciplinary sanctions against two students found culpable of indiscipline-related misconduct.

In a separate decision, five law students were barred from sitting the Bar Final Examination for 10 years after being found guilty of examination misconduct arising from the December 2025 Bar Final Examination.

The Council reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining discipline, professionalism and ethical standards among students of the Nigerian Law School.
