WHAT WE DO

A Legal Legacy Building Institution

At the core of its purpose, JASAN Foundation functions as a legal legacy building institution, that is building a legacy of human, legal, judicial and corporate institutions, across generations through an established law, practice, or culture of operations and legal practice business protocol that ultimately builds the man [the young lawyer], through a deliberate mandate and foundation to becoming an institution. Positioning as the critical strategic partner for Legal Practice Business [LPB] development, growth, mentorship and judicial service reform in Africa for young lawyers, the Foundation will work with experienced and dynamic teams of Research & Development Strategists for the execution of our initiatives to ensure alignment with our organisational goals, as well as contribute to our mandate to promote and champion the reform of the Nigerian legal and judicial sectors to evolve a globally competitive lawyer in the short, medium to long term. The Foundation will engage with the Government, Private Sector, Public Sector and Civil Societies on key legal, judicial and development issues, leveraging the following strategic tools;

Leadership & Strategy

We’re working together for the legacy of the legal profession!

INTEGRITY & INFLUENCE — The Legacy We Build
Integrity and influence go hand in hand. We believe that true influence in the legal profession is built on a foundation of unshakable integrity — not shortcuts, not popularity, but consistent truth, discipline, and ethical conduct.

INCLUSIVITY & EXCELLENCE — Raising Every Voice, Setting Higher Standards
We believe that excellence means nothing without inclusivity — and inclusivity loses strength without excellence. That’s why both sit at the core of our mission.

DYNAMISM & SERVICE — Leading with Vision, Serving with Purpose
We balance the energy to evolve with the heart to serve. These two values — dynamism and service — define how we lead, how we teach, and how we prepare lawyers for the weight and responsibility of becoming SANs.

COMMUNITY & RELENTLESSNESS — Together We Rise, No Matter the Odds
We believe that no one succeeds alone — and that progress demands more than talent. It demands a community that lifts, and a spirit that refuses to quit.

ACCOUNTABILITY & PROFESSIONALISM — Earning Trust, Upholding Standards
We don’t just prepare lawyers to wear the silk of a SAN — we prepare them to carry the weight of responsibility that comes with it. That’s why accountability and professionalism are central to our training.

We don’t just prepare lawyers to wear the silk of a SAN — we prepare them to carry the weight of responsibility that comes with it. That’s why accountability and professionalism are central to our training.

We create a climate of trust inside and outside the Organisation by being open, honest, and transparent. We hold ourselves and others accountable for the decisions we make and for our impact on others, while doing what we say we will do. We therefore strive to achieve significant and lasting impact, by challenging ourselves to work with integrity whilst ensuring inclusivity as we strive for excellence.

Further, we respect all people, are professional, appreciate dynamism and diversity in our programmes and workplace. We empower our target recipients to give their best and develop their potential; thus, we succeed by working effectively as a community with all our stakeholders, including our sponsors and donors; as we actively support young and indigent lawyers, helping them to achieve their professional goals and making transgenerational impact. Finally, our shared core values and behaviours pursued with grit are our guiding principles for how we work, interact with others, and impact the legal and judicial space. These help to foster a culture of openness, accountability and transparency.
