The movie reveals the battles between larger and smaller law firms as well as the everyday life of ambitious lawyers hustling for clients around prison and court premises.

Director: Uyoyou Adia

It’s a light-hearted yet realistic movie about finding yourself in places you feel you don’t belong to or beneath you and yet it grows on you and becomes the place you don’t want to be without. She comes back with a close friend of hers, Zainab, who is playing to practise ‘Technology Law’ in her father’s firm. However, she had to do her NYSC first before starting and that is where the story gets interesting.

Due to her arrogant and egotistical nature, she goes through a lot of challenges along the way but finally, she learned how to take orders from her seniors. A major likely question might be: ‘‘What did she say to those people at the courthouse who made them sign up with her during her NYSC days?” It felt as though the judges were too familiar with the lawyers and gave their verdict based on their personal relationship with them. Is this really a true reflection of the Nigerian judicial system? While it may be a possibility in real life, perhaps a little more research and consulting with a real lawyer would have helped tighten these loose ends.
