It is impossible to have good access to information, which includes law resources, without the use of the Internet. Like most developing countries, Nigeria lacks access to legal information due to the absence of databases on the Internet. The obvious consequence is extreme difficulty in many aspects of law research and practice. For example, the country does not have legislation databases that create awareness of the constant changes that emanate from new enactments, amendments, and repeals; it is difficult to know about existing law publications (books, law reports, and journals); and databases of unpublished postgraduate law dissertations or theses are non-existent.

Challenged by this unfortunate and unacceptable situation, Nigerian Law Resources is committed to providing the unique online gateway to valuable Nigerian legal information which includes the following:

• Nigerian Lawyers Directory

• Nigerian Legal Education

• Nigerian Legislation

• Nigerian Legal System

• Nigerian Judiciary

• Nigerian Legislature

• Nigerian Law Publications

• Nigerian Law Dissertations and Theses

• Nigerian Bar Association

• Nigerian Human Rights

• Nigeria Police Stations and Prisons Locator

Nigerian Lawyers Directory

We are in the process of publishing the Nigerian Lawyers Directory on this website: the most comprehensive and functional electronic database of “Nigerian Lawyers” (those qualified to practise in Nigeria, irrespective of their nationality, and Nigerians abroad who are qualified to practise wherever they are resident). We have integrated our website dedicated to the Directory, www.nigerianlawyersdirectory.com, into the Nigerian Law Resources website in order to enhance the one-stop nature of this composite project.  

It is a subscription-based professional resource open to individual lawyers (irrespective of place of employment) and law firms. It will create professional interaction and business co-operation, as lawyers can search for and share expert knowledge in various areas of specialisation. Significantly, this unique Directory will put Nigerian lawyers in the limelight of the international legal community.

Please click here for details about the Directory, information on subscription, online and downloadable subscription Forms, and to view the Directory.

Laws of the Federation of Nigeria

Please watch out for our history-making value-added Laws of the Federation of Nigeria Database that shall feature on this website very soon. It is a must-have subscription-based legal resource for law researchers, legal practitioners, students, and all those interested in the historical and day-to-day development of Nigerian legislation.

We shall also publish the Laws of all the States in Nigeria in a similar format. The colossal importance of this unprecedented project is self-evident.
