MIDLEX MENTORSHIP MOMENTS
On Friday, 13th February 2026, our firm played host to members of the Law Lifers Association (LLA) of the great University of Benin, in what turned into a lively exchange.
By sheer coincidence, their visit coincided with the firm's weekly trial simulation where we line up witnesses in a pretrial session ahead of the coming week's court fixtures. The firm's moot hall buzzed louder once the students slipped in.
Expectedly, after the trial simulation session, the floor was opened for interactions and it was not a dull moment. Questions were raised and answers were given from constitutional twists to courtroom hacks; our lawyers fielded them, while Mr Larry Ediagbonya, a friend of the firm and legal colleague, chipped in his bit in answer to some questions.
E. C. Abednego Esq., Principal Partner of MIDLEX, urged the students (who he respectfully referred to as 'Aspirsnts to the bar'), to stay diligent - not just in academics and daily tasks, but even later as lawyers. In his words, pairing hard work with prayer while keeping your eyes on the goal, makes you truly stand out in law.
The students toured the Midlex office facility before departure, after being properly entertained and experiencing the warmth of being with the Midlex Team. Watching while the embarked on their trip back to campus, their proud smiles were our reward for a job well done. Nothing beats sharing the craft with fresh minds; of course, the door's always open for another round.
