Learning Through Detailed Explanations
We provide thorough, well-researched explanations for every question on the platform. Read about our approach to legal citations and why review is so important.
Answering a question correctly is a great feeling, but truly understanding why that answer is correct is what actually prepares you for the Bar Finals and university exams. Our team has spent countless hours writing detailed explanations for every single question on Justice Joust.
Our Approach to Explanations
When you take a quiz or finish a duel, we provide a complete breakdown of each question. Our explanations are designed to be clear, educational, and directly tied to the Nigerian Law School and Undergraduate Law curriculums.
We make sure to include the specific context of the question. We do not simply state the rule; we explain how the rule applies to the facts presented in the scenario. We also explain why the other options are incorrect, which helps you spot traps and understand fine distinctions in the law.
Accurate Legal Citations
Knowing the principle is important, but knowing the authority is essential. That is why our explanations include direct citations to statutes, rules, and case law.
- For procedural questions, we cite the relevant sections of the CPA, ACJA, or Civil Procedure Rules.
- For ethical questions, we refer to specific rules within the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC).
- We also cite landmark Supreme Court and Court of Appeal cases where necessary to illustrate the application of the law.
Making the Most of Your Study Time
We recommend that you take your time reviewing your answers. If you get a question wrong, read the explanation carefully, look up the cited section in your statutes, and make sure you grasp the concept before moving on.
Even if you guessed correctly, reading the explanation confirms your knowledge and strengthens your memory. We are very proud of the educational content on this platform, and we hope you find it incredibly useful in your studies.
