Legal practice, locally.
THE JURISDICTION WARNING, FIRST
General models are trained predominantly on material from other jurisdictions.
Coverage of Nigerian law, procedure and authority is thin.
Confident answers about Nigerian legal questions are more likely to be wrong than answers about other jurisdictions, and they sound identical.
THE CITATION RULE
Never cite anything without retrieving and reading it.
Fabricated authorities have produced sanctions elsewhere and would here.
WHERE IT HELPS SAFELY
Drafting from your own precedents Summarising documents you supply Explaining concepts to clients Correspondence Administrative work
FOR DOCUMENT REVIEW
Extracting terms from agreements at volume, verified.
FOR CLIENT LETTERS
Plain language explanation of a position you determined.
Review every statement of law.
WHAT REMAINS YOURS
Advice, judgement, and accountability to your regulator and your client.
FOR CONFIDENTIALITY
Establish what you may send. Privilege considerations are not settled.
