For legal practitioners on the prestigious journey to becoming a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), a key milestone is the chamber inspection. Your law library is not just a reflection of your intellectual arsenal—it’s a crucial part of the accreditation process.

To help you pass your inspection with confidence, we’ve created a detailed checklist of must-have law books and resources. And yes—Princess Legal World is your trusted partner for sourcing every title, with flexible payment plans and group discounts available.

✅ 1. Statutes and Core Legal Texts

[ ] Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)

[ ] Laws of the Federation of Nigeria

[ ] Evidence Act Annotated

[ ] Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA)

[ ] Electoral Act

[ ] Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA)

These are the building blocks of Nigerian legal practice. Your chamber must demonstrate a working knowledge of core legislation.

✅ 2. Nigerian Weekly Law Reports (NWLR)

[ ] A substantial volume of NWLR editions—minimum of 10 years back

(The inspection committee typically looks for a wide and consistent range)

Ensure these are neatly arranged, indexed, and accessible. If you’re missing volumes, Princess Legal World offers bulk orders with special discounts for SAN aspirants.

These titles reflect competence in advocacy and documentation, both critical for SAN applicants.

✅ 5. Legal Ethics and Professional Conduct
