Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee has elevated 38 lawyers as senior advocates.

The Supreme Court committee named the new senior lawyers at its 138th meeting which held on July 4.

The body meets annually to promote lawyers to the highly-coveted status that often confers special privileges to holders, including prioritised call of their cases.

The new senior lawyers, whose promotion would be confirmed in September, include Nigeria’s solicitor-general, Dayo Apata, and rights activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa.
