We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Third Edition of The C. O. Anah SAN Memorial Colloquium.
The Colloquium is a unique and impactful event dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering dialogue towards human rights protection and enforcement.
We are deliberate about rekindling the consciousness of Nigerian Lawyers to the critical roles they play in nation-building and development.
We achieve this by interrogating aspects of the laws of evidence, practice management, professional ethics, and human rights enforcement.
This year’s edition will be held in Onitsha, Anambra State where C. O. Anah, SAN whose legacies we honor and celebrate, practiced and served as a chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Onitsha (The Premier Bar).
📌 Date: 25th October 2023.
📌 Venue: The Presidential Hall, C J Patterson Building, Ozalla Road, Onitsha, Anambra State / ZOOM.
📌 Theme: Practice Management; The Heatbeat of Every Impactful Legal Career.
This year’s edition promises to be rewarding as we bring together thought leaders and distinguished practitioners to speak to the theme.
We will discuss succession in law firms, advertising in legal practice, and gender inequality amongst litigation lawyers.
Watch this space for updates on the speakers who will be leading the discussion.
Save the date and join us as we embark on this important introspection.
