Law Angle Episode 1

Dariye v. F.R.N. (2015) 10 NWLR (Pt. 1467) 325
The court in this case held that:
Lawyers are engaged to espouse the case of their clients. It is a monopoly and they should bear in mind that like all monopolies, their conducts are subject to strict rules of accountability for adherence to set ethical standards.
They can fight the cause of their clients, but as lawyers they must act within the rules regarding ethical conduct. As a legal practitioner you owe a duty to your client but owe a higher duty to a higher cause - the cause of justice.

This is clear indication that at all times lawyers must understand the case of their client to know when to stop rather than chase the wind from the lower court all the way to the Apex court just to see if he has a chance.
