What would be your advise to Young lawyers?
Dele Adesina: To the young Lawyers, I will like to assure them that the Legal Profession is the best profession in the world. The only learned noble and honourable profession.
Notwithstanding the present low esteem which I insist is a product of the wrong perception of the Profession at present. Because of a combination of many factors, including but not limited to this wrong perception, the economy which has led to poor practice atmosphere, the juniors have become victims of a situation they did not create. Notwithstanding, I say that they have a glorious future as long as they have a clear vision of what they want to be in the profession and they are dedicated to this vision and pursue it with single minded determination as if their lives depend on it.
With the required discipline, success is assured.
Of course, they must also give pride of place for hard work and perseverance. They must also cultivate a big dream for themselves and see success as something tangible that they can feel and hold. God’s word says that “as far as your eyes can see, I have given to you for a possession.” What you expect is what you possess.
