According to the wordings of the letter, Hon. Justice O.O. Goodluck is to lead the team. TNL recalls that it is a tradition in the Nigerian Law School that before any session is completed, students in the institution are to partake in Mock Trials, in which groups in the Institution are to face themselves in legal battle based on hypothetical case facts. Judges are usually invited to preside over the trials to educate and encourage the intending lawyers on procedural law. ]]>
