Dear Musah Ahmed, Esq., many thanks for your wonderful message.

Madam Francisca's vision for this book, as she eloquently said and I quote "This book introduces a concise, straightforward and easy to read source of material on Civil Procedure. The aim of the book is to introduce law students early in their studies both at the degree and professional course levels to the procedure in Civil litigation. This will help to demystify the subject of Civil Procedure and make it more interesting to students and serves as a quick reference point for lawyers in practice"
I am definitely going to get a copy for my perusal
I was deeply inspired by her words, and I am committed to studying diligently, as she encouraged me to do
