A Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Adeyinka Kotoye, has unveiled two legal books aimed at improving quality of lawyers’ briefs in the country.
The books, ‘Judgments of Appeal Cases of Nigeria’, and ‘Practice Digest for Legal Practitioners’,” co-authored with Mr. Babatunde Adebayo Esq., were weekend launched at the conference hall of the NBA Secretariat, Lagos High Court, Ikeja, Lagos.
Kotoye, who is the Editor-in-Chief of the Law Report, said the book was out to report cases of appellate courts of both the Court of Appeal from all divisions in the country and the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
He said the two books were concise, up-to-date statements of the law and contained almost three scores of relevant topics, including the position of the Supreme Court as it relates to the Nigerian Bar Association stamp and seal, the Legal Practitioners Act Cap 1.11, 2004, Rules of Professional Conduct, 2007 and comprehensive index.
 The lawyers said they also contained statements of law as pronounced by eminent jurists in appellant courts on topics like action, arbitration, constitutional law, company law, criminal law and procedure, damages, election cases and allied matters and jurisdiction.
Kotoye said: “These have been succinctly covered in the Practice Digest for Legal Practitioners together with the latest judicial authorities/cases where these statements of the law can be found.”
