title = {Civil Court Staff In Nigeria: Working Conditions And Legal Training For An Effective Procedure},
year = {2018},
note = {In Nigeria, there is no clear distinction between a Civil Court and a
Criminal Court however; a court may be referred to as civil court when
it is exercising its civil jurisdiction. This paper looked at the
working conditions of court staff in Nigeria alongside the legal
training for an effective procedure obtainable therein with the view
to critically examine how effective in practical situations these
working conditions are demonstrated. The researcher in bringing to
light the subject matter of this work, had exhaustively through the
combination of both qualitative and quantitative research methodology
consulted materials off and on field which served as the main tool
that helped in wrapping this research work. The significance of this
work cannot be overemphasised especially having regard to the fact
that recently the incessant strikes that bedevilled the judicial
sector had more often than not crippled the flow of activities therein
are mostly attributed to either poor remuneration or unfair conditions
of services when compared to other government establishments. It was
against this backdrop that the need to look into this issue
extensively became expedient so as to proffer headway that could in
the long run aid in curbing some of these issues head-on. It was
recommended that regular trainings be organised for the judicial staff
as well as improved and better remuneration be given to these staff so
as to help them stay focused and disabuse their minds from the surging
bribery and corruption that today has become the bane in the system.},
