To her, lawyers should dress in a way that inspires confidence because lawyers are supposed to be presentable when they are representing their clients.

She said, “When you come before me as a lawyer & you are not properly dressed, no one will tell you to dress well by the time you are appearing before me again because I will not give you audience.”

“And I will also talk to your Principal, why he allowed you to leave the Chambers without being properly dressed. As a lawyer, we should be disciplined, you are able to instill confidence in others,” she added.

Justice Amina Augie was appointed as a Supreme Court Justice in Nigeria on November 7, 2016, making her the sixth woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice in Nigeria, the highest court in the country.
