Naijabarrister.com is an online legal hub built for lawyers and non-lawyers. The website allows lawyers to uniquely interact with each other, and to also interact with non-lawyers and potential clients. It was very important to build a website with a user-friendly interface. Hence, the entire features of the website can be seen on the homepage; from the home page, lawyers can navigate to other areas of the website.
To use the website, lawyers would need to create a profile. The process to creating a profile is very simple. Lawyers would need to provide their Supreme Court numbers as part of the requirements. The purpose of this is to ensure that only lawyers licensed by the Supreme Court are able to create a profile, thereby keeping out fake lawyers.
After creating a profile, lawyers can view their dashboards which contains information about their briefs, articles, and contacts from potential clients. It also has a link to the lawyer’s profile. We will talk more about this shortly.
One of the unique features of the site is the “Post a Brief” feature. Lawyers can use this feature to request a lawyer in a different jurisdiction to handle a brief for them in that jurisdiction. The way it works is that a lawyer posts a brief. The brief is seen by lawyers in the jurisdiction where the brief is to be held. They indicate interest in the brief and the lawyer posting the brief is free to choose which of the lawyers he wants to handle the brief. Brief includes non-court activities, like registering a company, attending a meeting, or going to bail a client from the police station.
Lawyers can also post practice notes. Practice notes are short notes or articles that tells how to do something or that answers a pertinent legal question. For example, how to register a company at CAC, or a new requirement for legal filings, etc. Lengthy theoretical articles are not welcomed.
Lawyers are able share their profiles, which can be accessed on their dashboards, on their social media handles or send them to potential clients. This is a unique feature that also serves as an electronic business card. A lawyer’s profile contains his practice areas, contact information, a short bio, and reviews from clients.
Non lawyers are also able to use the website to find a lawyer or ask questions. Some of the people asking these questions are potential clients, and in providing answers, a lawyer is able so show an ability to handle the legal issue, hence probably leading to the establishment of an attorney/client relationship. Non-lawyers are also able to contact lawyers. A lawyer can access names of those who have contacted them through their dashboards.
