On the 17th day of May 2016, a team of Absu junior LawClinicians went to Umuahia Prisons and the High Court Complex Umuahia, this was in a bid to verify the stories of some of our clients from the record and welfare department of the prisons, and also to get the requisite charge numbers and the court the inmates were charged. The Junior Clinicians then went with these information to these Courts to write an application for the release of the CTC of charge sheet and record of proceedings with which we would use to process their bail application.
At the prisons, they also requested for an interview with the inmates already admitted to bail, especially those ones their relatives do not know that they have been granted bail. The Junior Clinicians got their residential address and very soon, we would pay them a visit, In order to inform them of the good news and also convince them one on one to stand as their surety.
It's a work in progress. We are a work in progress.
Even as we teach our junior clinicians (400L students) the rudiments of this profession, through practical learning and field work that they may continue with our legacy as we (Senior Clinicians, 500L students)move on to the next level in barely 3months time.
It's our duty to the community.
