The difference between being poor and being successful is the word "INTENTIONAL". Decide what you want to do and you can get anywhere you want to be.

I completely agree that the issue is not as black and white as it is sometimes presented. Running a law firm in today’s economy is no small feat, and the rising costs of operation, coupled with delayed client payments, make payroll management genuinely difficult. But I also
Learned Silk, thanks for once again bringing this issue to the fore. The truth is, no young lawyer should have to choose between learning and living. Many genuinely desire mentorship, structure, and growth under senior lawyers and that in itself is commendable. But as someone

The truth is, many young lawyers are not averse to pupillage. What they reject is poverty disguised as “sacrifice.” I meet many young lawyers who truly desire mentorship and want to learn under seniors, grow, and build capacity, but there’s a corresponding responsibility on

Thank you @The_Ogundipe . I am happy to engage anytime. I look forward to it. It’s the only way I can share my thoughts and ideas and get to hear the things that are really agitating the minds of lawyers, rather than assuming that I know. Let’s Do It!
This is for lawyers. I don't intend to take anything away from @afamosigwe and @NigBarAssoc. While I believe that Mazi's administration should have fared way better, I must acknowledge that it has tried. However, there is a very pressing need for NBA to take back its position as
