Disqualification of certain legal practitioners

Section 289 · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

No legal practitioner shall be qualified for appointment as a Justice of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal or a Judge of a Federal High Court or a Judge of a High Court or a kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or a Judge of the Customary Court of Appeal whilst he is a member of the National Judicial Council or Committee of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja or a State Judicial Service Commission, and he shall remain so disqualified until a period of three years has elapsed since he ceased to be member.

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