Section 12(4) of the NBA constitution provides for the bar council to make rules from time to time on professional conduct in the legal profession and cause such rules to be published in a Gazette and distributed to all the branches of the association.
The function of the Bar Council was last performed in 2007, when the then Attorney-General of the Federation Bayo Ojo, as President of the Bar Council issued the Rules of Professional Conduct that is currently in operation.
Attempts to reconstitute the Council since then had proven abortive.
