The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) has unveiled a shortlist of 69 applicants who are being considered for the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

The committee has also extended an invitation to the public to raise any possible petitions or objections against any of the shortlisted candidates.

The final stage involves the LPPC interviewing all shortlisted applicants prior to finalizing the 2023 SAN conferment list. Members of the public can submit complaints against the nominees accompanied by a verifying affidavit until the conferment ceremony later this year.

The shortlisted candidates are divided into two categories: Advocate Applicants and Academic Applicants.
