This book is not a biography. It is, as the title suggests, an extract of the notable pronouncements and principles of law enunciated in the judgments of HON. JUSTICE ALOYSIUS IYORGYER KATSINA- ALU on the Supreme Court bench, as a Justice of that court, and thereafter as the Chief Justice of Nigeria. In it, one will easily discern the thought processes of the jurist in arriving at his decisions on virtually every area of Nigerian Law from Admiralty to Arbitration, from Bail to Banking, from Constitutional to Criminal Law and from Practice and procedure to Words and Phrases.
