Besides this, achievements related to the field of law or practice of law carry more weight. Just imagine an achievement like some of these;
“I graduated in the top 20 category out of a class of 200 people”

“I emerged the overall best speaker at the Moot Court Competitions during my stint at the Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School. My performance was specially recognised and commended by the Chief Justice of Nigeria who was present at the event”

“As a Corps member, I was in the team of lawyers that arranged for the release of over 20 prisoners who had been held without trial or bail for over 5 years”

“In less than 9 months of active legal practice, I had appeared in all superior courts of records and inferior courts of record in Kaduna State”

“I hold the record of the first and only Corp member to commence and conclude 5 civil and 6 criminal cases at the Oyo State High Court while serving at the Ministry of Justice.”
