LLI’s 1st Lawyers
In 2020, LLI Columbus graduate, Alexis Apparicio, and LLI Akron graduate, Imokhai Okolo, were the first two LLI alumni to graduate law school and pass the bar exam. Both students began LLI the first year of the statewide program and after four years of high school, four years of college, and three years of law school achieved this monumental milestone.
After graduating from Ohio University in spring 2017, Ms. Apparicio graduated from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and is completing a one-year fellowship with L Brands. Mr. Okolo graduated from Miami University in spring 2017 and the University of Akron School of Law in spring 2020 and is an associate at the Cleveland office of Jones Day.
Both students attribute a great deal of their success to the LLI program. We wish nothing but the best for Alexis and Imokhai and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the future!
