I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights
A published author, poet and performer. I am a debater and a mooter within the University, and I participated in a number of competitions both locally and internationally, the most recent being the Jessup Moot Competition. Won the nationaI rounds of Jessup 2023 and 2024 and crowned the best oralists twice, I aspire to pursue a career in International humanitarian law and I believe that mooting practice is one of the best ways to build a strong foundation and understanding of law practice and a quick grasp of International humanitarian law concepts. I hope this will also play a crucial role in improving my drafting and advocacy skills among others.
Well, here is a secret, mooting came out as a rancor for all other big universities winning and so I vowed to be out there and battle against them. First moot was against my own school, then St. Augustine at the victory Attorneys and consultant moot of 2022, and ended at the semi-finals and against University of Dar es salaam;
VAC MOOT 2022
Being my first moot it was a fertile ground for learning. The experience is one I will carry in a lifetime. Kicking off was the excitement of competing against all law schools across the country. The research question itself presented a challenging yet thought provoking real-life situation. I got more familiar with researching different levels of legislation which has helped me foster legal reasoning and analytical skills. The wonderful organization made it easier to engage and socialize with students and high-profile personnel from academia, the legal field and non-state actors.
This is a boost to my career and self-confidence. I would recommend everyone to try this challenge, especially those who are eager to develop and enhance their skills in public speaking and legal writing in a challenging but fun experience.
2023 JESSUP BEST ORALIST
The Jessup is the world’s largest moot court competition, whose mission is to support the study and practice of international law. The competition pulls its participants out of the comfort zone of an ordinary law student and plunges them into scholarly research of substantive and contemporary legal issues as well as critical analysis of evidence vis-à-vis the law.
