Ukala’s Manual on Appellate Practice (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Nigeria) is authored by distinguished Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Emmanuel O. Ukala, SAN. This hardbound manual delivers systematic guidance on navigating appellate litigation across Nigeria’s two highest appellate courts: the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. The treatise covers essential appellate procedures, including compiling and transmitting records, filing notices of appeal, drafting compelling appellant and respondent briefs, bringing interlocutory applications, and presenting effective oral submissions. It also analyzes jurisdictional requirements, grounds of appeal, leave to appeal, stay of execution pending appeal, and judicial attitudes toward non-compliance with court rules. Written by a seasoned trial and appellate advocate, the work combines practical courtroom wisdom with rigorous legal analysis, making it an invaluable guide for advocates, appellate judges, law clerks, and postgraduate legal researchers. As a physical legal manual, it stands out as an essential reference for any serious appellate law library in Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
