More than a book, “Institutionalising Mentorship in the Legal Profession” is a movement — a call to rethink, rebuild, and restore the foundations of mentorship in law. With eloquent prose, depth of insight, and genuine passion, Justice Segun-Bello reminds readers that mentorship is not an act of charity but a duty of legacy.

The book has been widely praised for its intellectual richness, aesthetic excellence, and its timely contribution to Nigeria’s evolving legal discourse.

In this insightful work, Justice Segun-Bello reframes mentorship as a strategic necessity for sustaining excellence in the legal profession. Instead of treating mentorship as a favour extended at convenience, she shows that it must be intentional, structured, and woven into the very fabric of legal institutions.

With compelling clarity, she demonstrates how mentorship protects ethical standards, sharpens professional competence, and strengthens the future of the legal system. Through stories, reflections, and practical guidance, the book teaches lawyers — both senior and emerging — how to build meaningful, impactful mentorship relationships.

Beyond diagnosing the gaps in current practice, the book proposes actionable steps that law firms, courts, and professional bodies can adopt to make mentorship measurable, sustainable, and ingrained. Justice Segun-Bello’s message is simple yet profound: a profession thrives when knowledge flows freely.

Institutionalising Mentorship in the Legal Profession is a call to build legacy through people — one lawyer at a time.
