Abstract
This article explores the question of whether a legal practitioner could be professionally disciplined for acts done in a non‐professional capacity for which there is no criminal prosecution or conviction. It suggests that purely private and non‐criminal acts should not give rise to professional sanction and that the relevant provisions of the Nigerian Legal Practitioners Act should be interpreted narrowly.
