The call to the bar is a legal term that shows that a person is qualified to be allowed to represent someone else in the court of law.
According to Wikipedia, “the bar” is now used as collective noun for barristers, but literally referred to the wooden barrier in old courtrooms, which separated the often-crowded public area at the rear from the space near the judges reserved for those having business with the Court. Barristers would sit or stand immediately behind it, facing the judge, and could use it as a table for their briefs.
The Nigerian Law School is an educational institution set up by the Government of Nigeria in 1962 to provide a Nigerian legal education to foreign-trained lawyers and to provide practical training for aspiring Legal Practitioners in Nigeria.
A call to bar certificate is a certificate awarded by the council of legal education. This to show that the awarded person is eligible to practice in a court of any jurisdiction in Nigeria. To qualify for the call to bar certificate, you must have completed a period of study at the Nigerian law school and passed the bar exams. Law firms will require you to submit your call to a bar certificate on employment.
