About Us
The Young Lawyers Forum is a creation of the Section on Business Law of the Nigerian Bar Association; formally inaugurated on the 7th of April 2010 at the 5th Annual Conference of the Section on Business Law held in Abuja. The Forum exists as a platform for the convergence of young legal minds to harness relevant potentials, identify areas of challenge, proffer possible solutions and interact/network with our foreign counterparts. The Forum thus provides an enabling environment for young lawyers to brainstorm on salient and topical legal issues.

The objectives of the Forum are:

1. To breed future leaders of the Nigerian Bar;
2. To encourage the convergence of professional ideas amongst young and emerging practitioners;
3. To identify various professional challenges experienced by young lawyers and make recommendations to the SBL, which will in turn convey such recommendations to the parent body, the Nigerian Bar Association;
