- Recent events around the world have made humans more conscious of the environment in which they live. Since the environment is not subject to human command, attention must focus on how to use the instrumentality of the law, a potent weapon of social control, to regulate human activities that abuse the environment and unleash devastating consequences on the entire ecosystem. This work is a survey of efforts at enhancing the quality of life in Nigeria viewed from the prism of environmental law. It highlights constitutional provisions, statutory enactments and institutional framework, and judicial remedies that seek to protect the environment. The work also offers useful suggestions on how to ameliorate the deplorable environmental situation in Nigeria by improved enforcement of extant laws, efficient coordination of relevant government agencies, effective utilization of delegated legislative authority, reform of the legal landscape by conferment of statutory standing to sue in environment- related cases and the recognition of the right to a healthy environment as a constitutional right. 2 results 2
- This paper examined the conditions for the grant of Order of Injunction Pending Appeal by Nigerian Courts. The paper traced the origin of the Order from the English authorities, and the adoption into the Nigerian judicial system. The author examined the High Court of Lagos State Rules and the Federal High Court Rules to establish the procedural source of the application of the Injunction Pending Appeal by the Courts and concluded that the rules do not support the Order. The confusion by the Courts in associating the conditions for the grant of Interlocutory Injunction and Injunction Pending Appeal was critically examined. The proper and acceptable conditions for the grant of the Order as laid down recently by the Supreme Court and a call for liberal application of the conditions by the Court as well as a suggestion for a change in the nomenclature concludes the paper. 2 results 2

- Children being vulnerable, have special protection uudei the law through their parents 01 guardian who are responsible for them: and make decision- fot them because they lack legal capacity One of these decisions a parent/gunrdian makes i- determining the religion of a child. Once the parent guardian chooses the religion of the child, the child may become bound by its practices throughout childhood While the right of parents to determine the religion of theii children is recognised by domestic regional and international laws, the way courts in Nigeria treat this recognition suggests that the right is nol absolute. This paper adopts the doctrinal methodology 111 interrogating the extent to which Nigerian Courts permit the observation by a child oftlie religious practices ofhis/lier parent in relation to submission to medical treatment in order to protect the child's right to life This papei argues that law and morality are media of social control but have their convergence and divergence. It further argues that sanctity of human life which for many forbids suicide, requites that even adults should not be allowed to object to medical treatment which refusal may lesult in death which can be seen as "disguised suicide" These authors examined the Supreme Court decision m Medical Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Council v Okonkwo and found that: Nigerian Courts recognise parent light to choose their children religion and practices however, any religious practice prejudicial to the child based on the "best interest" principle provided under the Child Right Act and its States equivalent will be jettisoned It examines the practice til Britain and Canada and draw lessons for Nigeria. This paper recommends public enlightenment prohibition of harmful religious beliefs such as objection to life-saving medical procedure by parents for minors as means of balancing parents/guardian right to choose their children religions beliefs and preservation of the children right to life. 1 results 1

- Corruption. though a universal phenomenon. its menace in Nigeria is alarming as it pervades through every strata of the society with its huge adverse effects on the populace. Over the years. the incidence of corruption has grown to become a 'norm' in Nigeria, with the nation becoming a pariah state in the comity of nations. However. the practice is widely considered to have greater impact on the nation compare to its citizens, it is therefore justifiably domiciled under the Nigerian Criminal Law usually as an offence to be prosecuted by the state on behalf of its citizens. This paper therefore considers the impact/effect of both private and public corruption on the Human Rights Laws and Practice in Nigeria, with emphasis on analysis of corruption as a violation of the entrenched rights of citizens. Critical issues such as legal framework for human rights and various anti-corruption laws were examined. It is observed that successive governments in Nigeria are usually blamed for economic woes and decay in infrastructure, often attributed to incompetence and negligence while its agencies, such as Police Force. Armed Forces. banks. private persons who are active collaborators are often over-looked. The paper therefore concluded that the impact of corruption could only be holistically measured by the rate of violations of the citizens' rights as provided for by the law and same made punishable. It is further submitted that such infringement on the right of persons occasioned by corrupt practices should not only be tried as abuse of rights but also attract some form of compensation for the victims. 1 results 1

- Court-connected Alternative Dispute Resolution (CCADR) or Multi Door Courthouse (MDC), adopted by two Nigerian States and the Federal Capital Territory, is the integration of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) into the court system to facilitate access to justice. Several studies have examined the operations of the three MDCs in Nigeria, but studies on their practice and procedure in Nigeria compared with those in the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) have not been undertaken. This study, therefore, examined the practice and procedure of existing MDCs in Nigeria, and compared same with those in the USA and UK to identify the inadequacies in Nigerian laws. The study adopted the theory of Access to Justice. The provisions on dispute resolution in the Constitutional Statutes of Nigeria, the USA and the UK were examined. Three High Court laws, three High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules and three practice directions on the procedure for MDCs were examined. Fifty-seven cases (17 Nigerian, 11 American and 29 British) and relevant legal texts on the practice of ADR were purposively selected. These were subjected to interpretive and comparative analyses. The MDCs were introduced into the judiciaries of Lagos and Akwa-Ibom States, and Abuja (as LMDC, AKMDC and AMDC respectively) through the amendment of the existing High Court Laws and Civil Procedure Rules to encourage referral of cases to ADR. This was the same approach adopted in the USA and the UK. Specific ADR Rules and Practice Directions were enacted to support the process; only Lagos had enacted an MDC law which was consistent with the practice in the USA and the UK. The courts’ supervisory procedure varied: LMDC operated as private-public collaboration, and the staff was not affiliated to the State judiciary; the AKMDC and AMDC were integrated with the State judiciary, manned by judiciary staff and subject to the same supervision as that of the regular judicial staff. This was also the predominant procedure in small claims courts in the USA and the UK. The CCADRs in all the countries had trained ADR personnel who conducted the ADR process but also maintained ad hoc ‘accredited’ neutrals. They all recognised pre-trial referrals, and, where not expressly stated in the Rules, allowed referrals after trial had commenced. In all the countries, settlement outcomes were contracts simpliciter which, once endorsed by an ADR judge, became a judgment of the court. The USA and UK practice differed from Nigeria’s in terms of mandatory participation by disputants based on amounts claimed and the annexation to their summary trial courts. The operations of the Multidoor Court house in Lagos and Akwa-Ibom States and the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria are similar in terms of annexation and voluntariness, but differ in respect of their engagements of neutrals. They all diverge from the practice in the USA and the UK with regard to non-voluntariness of participation. For better access to justice through MDCs in Nigeria, there must be automatic referrals to ADR. 1 results 1
