Abstract

The most important issues facing the judiciary today, predominantly the court, emanate from the court's primary mission to secure justice for all. Justice is an empty promise if it denies an individual or group achievable equal access to the courts. Economic, political, social, and cultural and ethnic barriers to the justice system unfortunately still exist as a result of corruption. Misuse of judicial power by the courts for private gain is no longer an aberration or isolated behavior. It is disturbingly a dominant and recurrent feature of the Nigerian system. Judicial corruption often involves a vicious dynamic in which judges trade injustice for favors and personal gains. However, this study assesses the public perception of the menace of corruption among judicial workers in Dutse metropolis, Jigawa State.
