The event, themed “Beyond the Wig: Practical Steps into Legal Practice” and titled “From Law School to Real Life – What I Wish I Knew,” attracted a large and enthusiastic audience of young lawyers embarking on their legal careers.
Delivering a goodwill message, former NBA National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Rapulu Nduka, shared valuable insights on the realities of legal practice beyond academic training. He highlighted the significant gap between the theoretical knowledge acquired in law school and the practical demands of the profession.
“The law in theory is quite different from the law in practice. Clients don’t come with model answers, and cases don’t always follow neat outlines,” Dr. Nduka remarked. He stressed that success in legal practice requires wisdom, empathy, resilience, and above all, a strong professional reputation.
“Your name is your greatest asset in this profession. Protect it,” he advised, underscoring the importance of integrity, dependability, and good interpersonal conduct alongside academic achievements.
Dr. Nduka also encouraged the young lawyers to cultivate a mindset of continuous learning. “The best lawyers aren’t those who know it all, but those who never stop learning,” he said, emphasizing openness to guidance and growth.
He concluded with a vital reminder about self-care and the risks of burnout, urging the new practitioners to balance their professional duties with rest and mental well-being.
