NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION, ABA BRANCH
PRESENTS
2025 LAW WEEK & EMINENT PERSON’S LECTURE
Theme:
“The Strength of the Judiciary: People’s Confidence—Glory Foretold or Disaster Waiting to Happen?”
Date: Saturday 21st – Friday 27th June, 2025
About the Theme
This year’s theme confronts a defining question for our justice system: Is the judiciary living up to the public’s expectations, or are we at risk of eroding the very trust that upholds it?
As legal professionals and stakeholders in democracy, the time to reflect, interrogate, and recommit to judicial excellence is now. Expect stimulating debates, rich perspectives, and actionable ideas from jurists, scholars, public officials, and the Bar.

What to Expect
The 2025 Law Week promises an engaging mix of thought leadership, celebration, wellness, and community impact. This is not just a professional gathering—it is a week of dialogue, bonding, and legacy. Attendees can look forward to:
- Intellectual exchange on pressing judicial issues
- Sports and wellness activities for networking and relaxation
- Recognition of branch legends and human rights advocacy
- Strengthening Bar–Government Collaboration
- Social events that reflect the unity and vibrancy of the Aba Bar
