The council’s latest publication provides prospective law students with a guide to institutions authorised to run the programme, while also warning applicants against enrolling in universities whose law programmes lack the necessary accreditation.
The development is particularly important for students seeking admission to study Law, as accreditation determines whether graduates can proceed through the required professional training and qualifying process for legal practice in Nigeria.
The Council of Legal Education urged prospective students and other stakeholders to verify the status of institutions before making admission decisions. The move is aimed at protecting students from investing time and money in unapproved programmes.
The publication comes amid continued efforts to maintain standards in legal education and ensure that universities offering Law meet the requirements established by the regulatory authorities.
The full list covers 122 universities across Nigeria and is expected to serve as a reference for candidates planning to pursue a career in the legal profession.
