The Editorial Board of the Nigerian Bar Association (“NBA”) calls for
well-researched papers in diverse areas of law with contemporary
relevance, for publication in the Nigerian Bar Journal. The Nigerian Bar
Journal is a flagship publication of the Nigerian Bar Association. The
Journal seeks to promote the development of law and jurisprudence and
welcomes manuscripts from all stakeholders in the legal profession and
the social sciences, even from an interdisciplinary perspective. This may
be in the form of full-length articles, short notes, case comments, statute
reviews or Bills analyses especially from the National Assembly. Articles
published in the Journal are subjected to rigorous peer-review to ensure
that they provide original analyses of the issues considered, in a manner
that interests the academia, the Bar, the Bench, and other relevant
stakeholders.
