The Nigerian Law School is being urged to reconsider the use of a 'conditional pass' grade for students who received the designation on their 2026 Bar Resit Examination results. The Nigerian Law Society (NLS) has sent a petition to the Director-General of the Nigerian Law School and the Chairman of the Council of Legal Education, requesting an urgent review of the grading system.
