My Dream Job

Before My LLM Year
I worked as an associate in the corporate department of boutique commercial law firms in Lagos. Afterward, I moved to a private equity firm as a legal analyst.
My Time at Michigan Law
Why I Chose Michigan Law
Because of its academic opportunities and the collegial feeling I got when I reached out to the Graduate Admissions Office, faculty, and alumni. I knew I made the right decision the second I stepped onto campus; the family-like environment and support system is fantastic.
What Surprised Me Most About Michigan Law
The quality of professors and students. I think everyone here is brilliant and a high achiever. Conversing with students and faculty is an opportunity to learn.
My Favorite Class
Securities Regulation. This may seem like an odd answer because the subject can be a bit technical and rules-focused. However, I found this class exciting and engaging thanks to Professor Howson, who made securities regulation fun and easy to learn.
The Best Things About Ann Arbor
The excellent restaurants, world-class arts, and friendly atmosphere.
