It should have centered on the procedure/requirement and not the title. there is nothing wrong with the title,it is the people conferring the title that have problem. Let us not throw away the muddy waters with the baby I think the argument is rather misdirected.

I think more attention should be focused on the High Court cases where the cases were really done instead of appellate brief written for these so called SAN's and you go to the Appellate court and just adopt the brief.

However, I see nothing wrong with the conferment of the honour of SAN to deserving members of the highly reverred Legal Profession. I'm a Lawyer in the making, in the breeding Faculty of Law of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. The honour of SAN has actually been an inspiration to me. But, the sheme and process have both incurred public odium due to allegations and speculations contained in the article and in the court of Public Opinion. In this regard, I think there's a need for reforms in the process, such that "who the cap fits, let them wear it". This article was read with mixed feelings.
