By: Lkite Oso Princess

Could you please introduce yourself?

My name is Peace Adenife Olukoju. I am a 400-level Law student at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, in Ondo State (AAUA). I am enthusiastic about International Law, Intellectual Property Law, and Litigation. I am also a Legal Researcher and Debater. I do business in the line of baking and making pastries. I enjoy meeting new people.


What do you love doing in your spare time?

In my spare time, I catch up on pending tasks or take a nap. I also network with people online and engage in fun activities. As a Christian, I enjoy listening to spiritual audio messages and podcasts.


How does it feel like to be the AG of this society?


As the AG, I feel a greater sense of responsibility, particularly in leadership. This motivates me to work diligently and deliver my best.


What are the plans and policies you intend on implementing that'll make your administration different from your predecessors' and how do you plan on going about it?


My goal is to make a difference by exposing the Mooting Club to evolving aspects of the legal field and applying them in practice. I also aim to introduce different ways towards engaging students in great participation in the activities of the Mooting Club. In achieving this, I initiated the Mooting Club Orientation for Freshers, focusing on networking, career building, and utilizing law studies in various areas. I rely on God's guidance, quality advice from mentors, and support from colleagues and predecessors in carrying out these plans.


So far, how has it been for you especially combining it with your academics?


Honestly, it has been challenging. I've been working on different strategies to balance my academics with serving in this role, ensuring that my academics do not suffer.


What stand do you think the mooting club has in the society currently and how do you plan on developing it?


The Mooting Club has a solid foundation, thanks to my predecessors. I plan to build upon this by projecting the club in a new light, exposing members to emerging areas of law and innovative ways to showcase their intellectualism.


What are the difficulties posed by being the Chairman of the mooting society so far?


As Chairman, I face challenges like balancing academic goals with leadership responsibilities and developing great participation among law students, and the limited faculty support has been quite challenging. Despite these, we're pushing forward.


Do you have any motivation that has been keeping you going?


I trust in God's word and promises, and I believe that all things will work together for my good. I'm also grateful for the support of my family, friends, and loved ones.


Finally, what advice do you have for students especially those who have misconceptions about what mooting entails?

I advise students to recognize the importance of the Mooting Club in their legal journey. Engaging with the club's activities can greatly impact their future. I debunk the misconception that Mooting and Mock trials are only for those interested in Litigation, emphasizing that these activities develop essential skills like Writing, Research and Advocacy, which are core for all lawyers.


LK... Making a statement.
