Are you looking for a top-notch summer student in 2026, who has previous administrative experience in a law firm, has a passion for advocacy, and has a first-class average in law school? Well, look no further! I have the experience, skills, and passion that makes me the perfect candidate. 

My name is Dabby Okoronkwo, a first year law student at the University of Sussex in England. My advocacy journey began five years ago when I challenged a durag policy at my high school that unfairly targeted Black students. Through constructive conversations with the school board head, I explained the cultural and practical significance of durags, leading to the overturning of the policy. I have used these advocacy skills as an active member of my university’s Mooting society. This experience has strengthened my communication, teamwork, and research skills, as well as my understanding of legal principles. I am eager to bring this zealous advocacy into your law firm and to fight on behalf of your clients.

Attending law school abroad has provided me with exposure to a different legal system, sharpening my comparative thinking and deepening my understanding of how law operates across jurisdictions. With my background in Philosophy, I bring unique views and strong critical, argumentative, writing, and ethical reasoning skills.

In the summer of 2025, I worked at a family law firm. This role required anticipating the needs of clients and lawyers, making timely decisions in fast-paced situations, and responding accurately to new challenges. Having gained experience in family law, I am now ready to gain hands-on experience in any other legal area or continue to develop my experience in family law.

To learn more about me, please email me at dabbyokoronkwo@yahoo.ca, or check out my Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/dabbyokoronkwo/ or my CV. (Dabby Oko (Dec25).pdf)

And remember: “Pick Dabby—why settle for average when you can have savvy?”
