Dear Call to bar aspirant, we know how important getting called to the Nigerian Bar is. This is why we have decided to launch a MCQ application later this year which will help law school students in tackling the law school MCQ exam. The questions and answers have been compiled using the current law school curriculum and text books such as Property Law in Nigeria by Y.Y Diadem, Criminal Procedure Laws & Litigation Practice by Bob Osamor, Civil Procedure in Nigeria by D.I Efewerehan and Essentials of corporate law practice in Nigeria by C.S Ogbonaya just to mention a few. The questions were drafted and review by lawyers and lecturers who know exactly what the law school should require of every candidate. Bellow are 300 questions from property law practice. This course was selected to be published first because we have discovered that over the years, this is one of the main courses that Bar aspirants have issues with (aside corporate law practice of course). Furthermore,if a Bar aspirant can get 20 marks in each courses with the help of our MCQ app and questions, it will be much easier to pass the bar exams. However, the application will come with all the 5 law school courses when it’s eventually lunched.Kindly leave your comments and feel free to report any controversial question to contact@solohan.com.ng. We will be glad to respond promptly. Anticipate and Make sure you tell a friend. Thank you for the love and support so far. Your success is our number one priority !!
