Events

Moot competitions, memorial lectures, socials, and the programmes that bring the chambers together year-round.

Signature Programmes

The recurring events that define a year in JNAC — some annual, some termly, each building the character of the chambers.

Annual

Nsima Akpabio Memorial Moot

An inter-university moot competition held in honour of the late Justice Nsima Peters Akpabio, drawing chambers from across the region to argue before a bench of practising advocates.

Annual

A's Summit

A day of talks, panels, and workshops pairing advocates with practitioners and alumni on the realities of legal practice beyond the classroom.

Termly

Philomath's Gallery

A showcase of research, essays, and legal writing from advocates across all classes — the chambers' running exhibition of original scholarship.

Annual

Magic Pen Competition

A legal writing and advocacy contest testing precision, persuasion, and command of language on a live brief.

Termly

Intra-Chamber Moot

Internal moot rounds that give every class a courtroom to test their advocacy before the inter-chamber season begins.

Recurring

Keep Fit & Picnics

Sport, food, and fellowship — the informal side of chamber life that keeps three hundred advocates a community, not just a competition roster.

Dates for the current session. Times and venues are confirmed closer to each date via the chambers' official channels.
