Interview session

LK: Can you introduce yourself to us, please?

FOTW: My name is Aregbesola Lateef Adetayo, popularly known as TY. I'm a 400-level law student at AAUA.

LK: What are your hobbies and things you like doing during your free time?

FOTW: Okay, well, I mostly love reading, trading forex, and sleeping, especially when I'm less busy. Sometimes I play games on my phone; that's just it.

LK: What made you choose law as a course of study?

FOTW: Hmm, well, right from childhood, law has always been my first choice. I guess I get intimidated seeing someone wearing a suit and putting on a tie. But at some point, when I faced challenges in getting admission into studying law, I was having a change of heart. However, it never stopped me from going for what I really want, and here I am today.

LK: Do you have any regrets about being a law student?

FOTW: I have no regrets because this has always been what I wanted. Even before securing admission to study law, I knew it would demand a lot of attention and dedication. However, I never imagined it would be this challenging. Nevertheless, I believe that with God's grace, I will succeed.

LK: Describe yourself in one word.

FOTW: Friendly.

LK: If not law, what would be your discipline?

FOTW: I think economics, because that has always been my strong point too.

LK: What motivation has been keeping you in place?

FOTW: My background has always been a source of motivation, pushing me to become someone better and reminding me of how we achieve what we have. Most importantly, my mum and my uncle are the reasons I have never given up.

LK: Who is your role model?

FOTW: My uncle has always been my role model. As a lawyer, his struggles and the way he overcame them to achieve success have always inspired me. I aspire to follow in his footsteps, and I believe I will.

LK: What is your favorite law course?

FOTW: Okay, that has to be criminal law so far.

LK: Is there any advice you have for junior colleagues or people aspiring to study law?

FOTW: I would advise them not to take the study of law lightly and to leave behind the mindset they had in secondary school when entering university. For example, some freshers might claim they have a specific study method, but as they progress, they may realize it doesn't work, making it harder to adapt to a new system. Above all, they should remain diligent and focused because being a law student is a responsibility that demands constant attention and dedication.

Thanks for reading!
