The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) has selected 72 lawyers for the award of the esteemed title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in 2025.
This information was revealed in a public announcement signed by the LPPC Secretary and Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Kabir Akanbi, on Tuesday.
Naijaonpoint reports that the published list, which precedes the final interview phase, includes 57 advocate candidates and 15 academics, chosen according to the committee’s established criteria.
The LPPC has invited members of the public to provide feedback on the integrity, competence, and reputation of the shortlisted candidates.
“Every complaint must be accompanied with a verifying affidavit deposed to by the author before a superior court of record in Nigeria or before a Notary Public and must be in twenty (20) copies, which must be received,” the notice read.
The committee has made it clear that being selected for the shortlist does not ensure the awarding of the SAN rank.
The definitive list of candidates who have succeeded will be revealed following the completion of all evaluations and interviews.
