Why Every Legal Mind and Leader Should Read Her Groundbreaking Book — Institutionalising Mentorship in the Legal Profession

In an era where integrity, guidance, and leadership are in high demand but short supply, Hon. Justice Mabel Segun-Bello stands as a luminous example of what it means to lead with wisdom, nurture with empathy, and inspire through purpose. Her recently unveiled book, Institutionalising Mentorship in the Legal Profession, is not just another publication — it’s a movement.
This literary masterpiece delves deep into the heart of the legal profession, confronting a truth often ignored: the gap between experience and guidance. With her characteristic grace and intellect, Justice Mabel distills decades of courtroom experience, mentorship encounters, and moral convictions into a timeless manual that every judge, lawyer, student, and professional can learn from.

Justice Mabel Segun-Bello’s career is a testament to excellence, humility, and service. She represents a generation of jurists who understand that true justice is not only pronounced in courtrooms but also cultivated in people. Her approach to mentorship has transformed young legal practitioners into disciplined professionals — passionate, ethical, and driven by purpose.
In her book, she explains the urgent need for structured mentorship systems within the Nigerian judiciary and legal ecosystem. The absence of proper guidance, she argues, often leads to professional burnout, ethical compromise, and a decline in the nobility of the bar and bench. Through her words, readers find a powerful call to revive the values that make justice a sacred trust.
