ABSTRACT
The legal practitioner is a research and law teaching, where
Lawyers & Judges study about cases on-line. They insert in any
newspaper, periodical or any other publications and advertisement offering as a
member of the Bar to undertake confidential inquiries; to write for publication
or give an interview to the press or otherwise cause or permit to be published,
except in a legal periodical, any particulars of his practice or earnings in
the profession or of cases pending on the courts or cases where the time for
appeal has not expired on any matter in which he has been engaged as a member
of the Bar, to answer questions on legal subjects in the press or any
periodical on in wireless or television broadcast where his name or initials
are directly or indirectly disclosed or likely or be disclosed.
The maintenance of a respectful attitude towards the court is been
made. It is unprofessional on the part of a member of the Bar to promote
a case, which to his own knowledge is false.
Referring on different cases by some judges and lawyers,
considering the fact-finding information displayed on related cases on web.
The situations where cases are adjourned are made known to the
public who are interested in those involved in the case. The aim of the
disciplinary committee is to consider and determine any case where it is
alleged that a person whose name is on the roll of legal practitioners has
misbehaved in his capacity as a legal practitioner or should for any other
reason be the subject of proceedings under the Decree to hear appeals from any
direction given by the disciplinary committee. Preparing and from time to
time, revising a statement as to the kind of conduct if considered to be
infamous conduct in a professional respect. This is to say that if the case
is being adjourned, they will automatically know about the information on-line.
Judgment is being concluded to be available to other practitioners
on-line, either in favour or against, depending on the crime committed.
The introduction of a computer application is a great change in a
legal practitioner based on the web site through browsing, which helps them to
make references on different cases from the files documented. As a
machine, it is faster, accurate, easy to be used. By the available data,
it involves writing a program of instructions.
A lawyer maintains a respectful attitude towards the court.
They have to engage in public prosecutions, to see that justice is done.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The problem statement is mainly centralised on the existing method
of wed-based legal practitioner application system. The information

containing particulars of the principal items included in the bill and signed
by him, or in the case of a firm by one of the partners or in the name of the
firm, must have been served on the client personally or left for him at his
last address as known to the practitioner or sent by post addressed to the
client at that address.
In addition, the period of one month beginning with the date of
delivery of the bill must have expired. There are provisions in the legal
practitioners for taxation of bills of charges delivered by legal practitioner
to his clients.
The council is to be consulted by the Attorney-General of
the federation before making regulations for the enrolment as legal
practitioners in Nigeria, Court of Appeal Enugu as a case study, members
of the legal profession in any other country on a reciprocal basis.
The Attorney – General of the federation is also required to hold
consultations with the council before varying the rates of practicing fees
specified.

application for permission to practise as a barrister is made to the chief
justice by or on behalf of any person who is the opinion of the chief justice
