It was the man of letters, Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, who said: “There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.”

To ameliorate the continued perpetration of injustice under the cover of the law, the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria, Abuja branch recently carried out a Continuing Legal Education Workshop on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) and Anti-Corruption legislative frameworks in Nigeria
