The Chairman of the Body of Benchers, Retired Justice Mary Odili has cautioned lawyers against addressing the media after court proceedings, describing the action as unethical.

She stated this on the second day of the Call to Bar Ceremony of 4,412 new lawyers in Abuja.

The retired justice of the Supreme Court also said a committee has been set up to address the worrisome issue of conflicting judgments of courts in the country.

According to her, it is unethical for lawyers to discuss and arrive at conclusions on matters pending before the court.

She implored the newly sworn in lawyers to demonstrate the highest level of professional ethics and behave with honour at all times.
