Governor Uzodimma also pointed out the judicial trend of filing a series of cases that lacks competence and, in turn, causing several adjournments that pile up the client’s payment of appearance fee to their counsel.
He, however, lauded the members of the Imo state chapter of the NBA for staging such an event with a workable and inciteful theme: “State of Legal Practice in Nigeria - Imo State, which he stated was aptly conceived as it should be applied in sanitising the legal profession.’’
