ABSTRACT
This research is on the design and
implementation of a computerized case management information system. The legal
practitioner is a research and law teaching, where Lawyers & Judges study
about cases on-line. They insert in any newspaper, periodical or any
other publications and advertisement offering as a member of the Bar to
undertake confidential inquiries; to write for publication or give an interview
to the press or otherwise cause or permit to be published, except in a legal
periodical, any particulars of his practice or earnings in the profession or of
cases pending on the courts or cases where the time for appeal has not expired
on any matter in which he has been engaged as a member of the Bar, to answer
questions on legal subjects in the press or any periodical on in wireless or
television broadcast where his name or initials are directly or indirectly disclosed
or likely or be disclosed.
The maintenance of a respectful
attitude towards the court is been made. It is unprofessional on the part
of a member of the Bar to promote a case, which to his own knowledge is false.
Referring on different cases by some
judges and lawyers, considering the fact-finding information displayed on
related cases on web.
The situations where cases are
adjourned are made known to the public who are interested in those involved in
the case. The aim of the disciplinary committee is to consider and
determine any case where it is alleged that a person whose name is on the roll
of legal practitioners has misbehaved in his capacity as a legal practitioner
or should for any other reason be the subject of proceedings under the Decree
to hear appeals from any direction given by the disciplinary committee.
Preparing and from time to time, revising a statement as to the kind of conduct
if considered to be infamous conduct in a professional respect. This is
to say that if the case is being adjourned, they will automatically know about
the information on-line.
Judgment is being concluded to be
available to other practitioners on-line, either in favour or against,
depending on the crime committed.
The introduction of a computerized
case management information system is a great change in a legal practitioner
based on the web site through browsing, which helps them to make references on
different cases from the files documented. As a machine, it is faster,
accurate, easy to be used. By the available data, it involves writing a
program of instructions.
A lawyer maintains a respectful
attitude towards the court. They have to engage in public prosecutions,
to see that justice is done.

INTRODUCTION
To understand the this case
management information system, it includes not merely the profession, which is
practiced in courts but also covers law teaching, law research, administration
in different branches where law plays a role and in fact, commercial and
industrial employment and all other activities, which postulates and requires
the use of legal knowledge and skill and which adopts legal process also fall
within its scope. The computerized case management information system
comprises all those who use technical legal knowledge through net in performing
their various occupational roles. These will include such categories as
practitioners of law and legal advisers, judges and magistrates, Area court
Judges and Islamic Court Judges, academic lawyers and scholars, legal
technicians (e.g. consultants) etc.
A legal practitioner is a person
entitled to practice as a barrister (advocate) or as a barrister and
solicitor. In Nigeria, every legal practitioner is a barrister and
solicitors. For example, an advocate practicing in a country whose legal
system is similar to that of Nigeria may be permitted by the chief justice of
Nigeria to practice as a barrister. The chief justice has no power to
permit him to practices as a solicitor. Further more, a senior Advocate
of Nigeria is not entitled to practice as a solicitor.
1.1 STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM
The problem statement is mainly
centralised on the existing method of computerized case management information
system. The information obtained on-line, shows that a legal practitioner
is entitled to recover his charges by action in a court of competent
jurisdiction. In General, before a legal practitioner brings such action,
a bill for the charges containing particulars of the principal items included
in the bill and signed by him, or in the case of a firm by one of the partners
or in the name of the firm, must have been served on the client personally or
left for him at his last address as known to the practitioner or sent by post
addressed to the client at that address.
In addition, the period of one month
beginning with the date of delivery of the bill must have expired. There
are provisions in the legal practitioners for taxation of bills of charges
delivered by legal practitioner to his clients.
The council is to be consulted by
the Attorney-General of the federation before making regulations for the
enrolment as legal practitioners in Nigeria, Court of Appeal Enugu as a
case study, members of the legal profession in any other country on a reciprocal
basis.
The Attorney – General of the
federation is also required to hold consultations with the council before
varying the rates of practicing fees specified.
1.2
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The computerized case management
information system has an increasingly important role in a modern state not
only in dispensation of justice but also in the formulation of a just legal
order and in the preservation of an efficient juristic order.
The characteristics of the on-line
legal practitioner such as independence, integrity, official administration of
courts and administration of justice.
There is a roll of legal
practitioners kept as a roll of court and maintained by the chief Registrar of
the Supreme Court of Nigeria. In general, a person is entitled to
be enrolled if and only if:
(a) He has been called to the bar by
the body of Benchers; and
(b)He produces a certificate of his
call to the Bar to the Chief Registrar of Supreme Court.
In general, persons whose names are
on the roll of legal practitioners kept as a roll of court and maintained by
the chief Register of the Supreme Court are entitled to practice as barristers
and solicitors. However, the chief justice of Nigeria may, by warrant
under his hand authorise a person, whose name is not on the roll, on payment to
the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of such fee not exceeding 50 Naira as
may be specified in the warrant, to practice as a barrister for the purpose of
specified proceedings and of any appeal brought in connection with those
proceedings.
The power of the chief justice to
authorise a person to practise as a barrister under this provision is
exercisable where:
(a) an application for
permission to practise as a barrister is made to the chief justice by or on
behalf of any person who is the opinion of the chief justice is entitled to
practise as an advocate in any country where the legal system is similar to
that of Nigeria; and
(b) the chief justice is of the
opinion that it is expedient to permit the person to practice as a barrister
for the purpose of proceedings with respect to which the application is
brought.
Furthermore, a person for the time
being exercising the functions of any of the following offices is entitled to
practise as a barrister and solicitor for the purposes of the office:
(a) The office of the
Attorney-General, solicitor-General or Director of public prosecutions of the
federation or of a state; and
(b) Such offices in the public
service of the federation or a state as the Attorney-General of the federation
or of the state, as the may be.
1.3
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Reference could be made from
different parts of the world about a case on-line. Considering the fact
that information are displayed on the web because, some Judges and Lawyers
could be able to make reference on how related cases are being handled.
For instance, somebody is having a
case of murder in the court and you want to search, to know how the case was
treated or how it was judged. As a lawyer, you may go on net, to search
for a related case to the case you are handling and how it was treated, in
order to know or for easy decision on your own cases.
1.4
LIMITATIONS
Although a person has been enrolled
as a legal practitioner, his right to practise as a legal practitioner may be
limited where:
(a) he is a senior Advocate of
Nigeria; or
(b)he has not paid a practising fee:
or
(c) he is a legal practitioner of
less than seven years standing.
The rank of legal practitioners
known as Senior Advocates of Nigeria is Equivalent to that of Queen’s Counsel
which has been abolished in Nigeria. The Amendment provides that the
legal practitioners privileges committee may by instrument confer the rank of
senior advocate of Nigeria on a legal practitioner who has been qualified to
practice as a legal practitioner is Nigeria for not less than 10 years and who
has achieved distinction in the legal profession in such manner as the
committee may from time to time determine.
