Appointment of President and Justices of the Court of Appeal

Section 238(3) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(3) A person shall not be qualified to hold the office of a Justice of the Court of Appeal unless he is qualified to practise as a legal practitioner in Nigeria and has been so qualified for a period of not less than twelve years.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
