HOW TO APPLY FOR BAIL AT THE POLICE ESPECIALLY AT THE SPECIAL ANTI-ROBBRY SQUAD (SARS) STATION



    Bail is one of the means being adopted to comply with the fundamental principle of human rights which says an accused should never be deprived of his liberty until the charge against him must have been proved beyond all reasonable doubts. It must be stated that it may be very easy to get your client on bail at the police station but it takes only a skillful and smart lawyer to save a client in SARS custody. The main objective of a lawyer at all material times must be the peace of mind and the life of his client. If you can secure that for your client then he can pay you any amount of money you demand from him.
Speaking of peace of mind and life of a client, I will focus on the issue of SARS police as the play in the court is a different ball game. Remember that not all suspects that goes into their custody that make it alive, even going to court is not a better option when dealing with them. This is base on the fact that the laws establishing their jurisdiction and the SARS force gave them tremendous power to carry out any investigation on all forms of criminal acts and omissions.  Most times they arrest individuals and hid them without trace all in the name that they are notorious criminals being investigated. Unfortunately, most of these people never make it alive; they can simply make your client disappear. Trust me, it is not advised to engage them with any form of court action even fundamental right action as this may led to your client disappearing from the surface of the earth while they will just come and tender an affidavit that the name does not ring a bell or that the man died during shot out. I repeat my learned friends, if your client is in their custody don’t take SARS to court immediately, if you do your client will disappear.
   IF YOUR CLIENT DIES WHAT DO YOU THINK THE COURT WILL DO AT THAT INSTANCE?
 It definitely does not have a choice than to strike out your suit. A dead man suffers no harm.
 

WHAT DO I DO?
It is seriously advised that if you have a client in their custody, just pay them a friendly visit, met their legal provost. Mention the name of your client to him and tell him that you are confident that he is in their custody. Trust me, they will dramatically send one of their staff to check their cells and he will definitely return with the news that he is not there. Don’t drag it with them instead tell them that you are still very sure and that you are ready to comply with them. At this they will give you a fresh appointment, don’t panic. At the next date your client will surface.
However , ensure that you inform your client’s family members how much they should pay you and if possible collect a substantial amount of the fees because you will be surprised that they can pay a very huge amount to get their family member out of the cell but end up giving you peanuts.
  Now the best part of this strategy is that once they inform you that your client is in their custody, his name is automatically removed from their book of death so that where the family of the client could not met up with their demand, they will have no other choice than to take your client to court.
Let’s go back to bail in the court.

    Dear Johon, my sincere apology for not making a reply until now. Its due to my over bearing engagement here in Nigeria. Nevertheless, the coastbailbonds you made reference to is as simply put an industry of persons whose profession is to provide credible individual and to undertake a trustworthy bail bond process ordered by a court of law in California USA. In this manner, it tends to explain that these are persons who are authorize or certified to fulfil bail bond conditions demanded of such Court on a person.
    So if anyone you know had issues that a bail bond is required in the state of California... The company harbouring coastbailbonds is one of those you can contact

Legal Difference between Delivery of Judgment and Pronouncement of Judgment thereof under the Nigerian laws.

The word reading and pronouncement of Judgment most times are used interchangeably and often taken to be of same imputation. But this is highly incorrect and for the purposes of legal practice to legal practitioners and the Law School students I will proffer two explanations for the fact that practice is different from law school program. For law school, the issue of reading and pronouncement of judgment cannot be discussed in the High Court as it is a one Judge Court, it is only in regard to the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court that have more than one Judge presiding. In this sense, a Judge is required to say the verdict of the court in a particular matter. Such Judge is the leading Justice of the Court and during its Judgment the lead Justice reads the verdict of the court.  In this instance he reads but where another Justice of the same court state the verdict of the court written by another Justice then it is said according to the law school standard to be a pronouncement of

So young lawyers should not despise the events at the beginning of their practice, my principal would say that those events are good to energized your practice and on a lighter note the Bible says so too.  Now most new wigs fortunately are faced with clients with matters which they would not prefer not briefing the senior counsels due to high brief and Tenancy proceedings covers about 70% of these matters. Thus, I will for this purpose enlist all the stages of a tenancy proceedings in the magistrate Court.  First and foremost, the new wig should understand that the magistrate Court is a court of a summary trial in other words it's a court that doesn't necessarily need parties to front-load all their documents, pleadings and evidence. The plaintiff or claimant may only
