DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB-BASED LEGAL PRACTITIONER APPLICATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
The legal
practitioner is a research and law teaching, where Lawyers & Judges study
about cases on-line. They insert in any newspaper, periodical or any
other publications and advertisement offering as a member of the Bar to
undertake confidential inquiries; to write for publication or give an interview
to the press or otherwise cause or permit to be published, except in a legal
periodical, any particulars of his practice or earnings in the profession or of
cases pending on the courts or cases where the time for appeal has not expired
on any matter in which he has been engaged as a member of the Bar, to answer
questions on legal subjects in the press or any periodical on in wireless or
television broadcast where his name or initials are directly or indirectly
disclosed or likely or be disclosed.
The maintenance of a
respectful attitude towards the court is been made. It is unprofessional
on the part of a member of the Bar to promote a case, which to his own
knowledge is false.
Referring on
different cases by some judges and lawyers, considering the fact-finding
information displayed on related cases on web.
The situations where
cases are adjourned are made known to the public who are interested in those
involved in the case. The aim of the disciplinary committee is to
consider and determine any case where it is alleged that a person whose name is
on the roll of legal practitioners has misbehaved in his capacity as a legal
practitioner or should for any other reason be the subject of proceedings under
the Decree to hear appeals from any direction given by the disciplinary
committee. Preparing and from time to time, revising a statement as to
the kind of conduct if considered to be infamous conduct in a professional
respect. This is to say that if the case is being adjourned, they will
automatically know about the information on-line.
Judgment is being
concluded to be available to other practitioners on-line, either in favour or
against, depending on the crime committed.
The introduction of a
computer application is a great change in a legal practitioner based on the web
site through browsing, which helps them to make references on different cases
from the files documented. As a machine, it is faster, accurate, easy to
be used. By the available data, it involves writing a program of
instructions.
A lawyer maintains a
respectful attitude towards the court. They have to engage in public
prosecutions, to see that justice is done.

INTRODUCTION
To
understand the web-based legal practitioner application system, it includes not
merely the profession, which is practiced in courts but also covers law
teaching, law research, administration in different branches where law plays a
role and in fact, commercial and industrial employment and all other
activities, which postulates and requires the use of legal knowledge and skill
and which adopts legal process also fall within its scope. The wed based
legal practitioner comprises all those who use technical legal knowledge
through net in performing their various occupational roles. These will
include such categories as practitioners of law and legal advisers, judges and
magistrates, Area court Judges and Islamic Court Judges, academic lawyers and
scholars, legal technicians (e.g. consultants) etc.
A
legal practitioner is a person entitled to practice as a barrister (advocate)
or as a barrister and solicitor. In Nigeria, every legal practitioner is
a barrister and solicitors. For exam plc, an advocate practicing in a
country whose legal system is similar to that of Nigeria may be permitted by
the chief justice of Nigeria to practice as a barrister. The chief
justice has no power to permit him to practices as a solicitor. Further
more, a senior Advocate of Nigeria is not entitled to practice as a solicitor.
1.1
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The
problem statement is mainly centralised on the existing method of wed-based
legal practitioner application system. The information obtained on-line,
shows that a legal practitioner is entitled to recover his charges by action in
a court of competent jurisdiction. In General, before a legal
practitioner brings such action, a bill for the charges containing particulars
of the principal items included in the bill and signed by him, or in the case
of a firm by one of the partners or in the name of the firm, must have been
served on the client personally or left for him at his last address as known to
the practitioner or sent by post addressed to the client at that address.
In
addition, the period of one month beginning with the date of delivery of the
bill must have expired. There are provisions in the legal practitioners
for taxation of bills of charges delivered by legal practitioner to his
clients.
The
council is to be consulted by the Attorney-General of the federation
before making regulations for the enrolment as legal practitioners in Nigeria,
Court of Appeal Enugu as a case study, members of the legal profession in
any other country on a reciprocal basis.
The
Attorney – General of the federation is also required to hold consultations
with the council before varying the rates of practicing fees specified.
1.2
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The
web-based legal practitioner application system has an increasingly important
role in a modern state not only in dispensation of justice but also in the
formulation of a just legal order and in the preservation of an efficient
juristic order.
The
characteristics of the on-line legal practitioner such as independence,
integrity, official administration of courts and administration of justice.
There
is a roll of legal practitioners kept as a roll of court and maintained by the
chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. In general, a
person is entitled to be enrolled if and only if:
(a)
He has been called to the bar by the body of Benchers; and
(b)
He produces a certificate of his call to the Bar to the Chief Registrar of
Supreme Court.
In
general, persons whose names are on the roll of legal practitioners kept as a
roll of court and maintained by the chief Register of the Supreme Court are
entitled to practice as barristers and solicitors. However, the chief
justice of Nigeria may, by warrant under his hand authorise a person, whose
name is not on the roll, on payment to the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court
of such fee not exceeding 50 Naira as may be specified in the warrant, to
practice as a barrister for the purpose of specified proceedings and of any
appeal brought in connection with those proceedings.
The
power of the chief justice to authorise a person to practise as a barrister
under this provision is exercisable where:
(a)
an application for permission to practise as a barrister is made to the chief
justice by or on behalf of any person who is the opinion of the chief justice
is entitled to practise as an advocate in any country where the legal system is
similar to that of Nigeria; and
(b)
the chief justice is of the opinion that it is expedient to permit the person
to practice as a barrister for the purpose of proceedings with respect to which
the application is brought.
Furthermore,
a person for the time being exercising the functions of any of the following
offices is entitled to practise as a barrister and solicitor for the purposes
of the office:
(a)
The office of the Attorney-General, solicitor-General or Director of public
prosecutions of the federation or of a state; and
(b)
Such offices in the public service of the federation or a state as the
Attorney-General of the federation or of the state, as the may be.
1.3
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Reference
could be made from different parts of the world about a case on-line.
Considering the fact that information are displayed on the web because, some
Judges and Lawyers could be able to make reference on how related cases are
being handled.
For
instance, somebody is having a case of murder in the court and you want to search,
to know how the case was treated or how it was judged. As a lawyer, you
may go on net, to search for a related case to the case you are handling and
how it was treated, in order to know or for easy decision on your own cases.
