Civil Litigation Revision Guide

Mide's Guide to Civil Litigation is a practical revision guide designed to help Nigerian Law School students master one of the most heavily tested procedural papers in the Bar Finals. It covers jurisdiction, commencement of actions, pleadings, interlocutory applications, summary judgment, recovery of premises, enforcement of judgments, appeals, and election petitions in a structured, exam-focused format.

Updated to reflect the 2025 FCT High Court Civil Procedure Rules, the guide highlights the procedural changes candidates must know while distinguishing them from the Lagos Rules. It uses comparison tables, drafting guides, jurisdiction maps, key timelines, and "Things Most Candidates Miss" callouts to reinforce the distinctions that frequently determine examination performance.

The guide concludes with a comprehensive "Twenty Ways Candidates Lose Easy Marks" checklist and a "Key Numbers at a Glance" reference sheet, making it an ideal companion for both long-term study and final revision before the Bar Finals.
