“There are no words to describe how proud I am! Finishing Law School at Howard University in the 3 years is pretty AMAZING,” Common wrote on Instagram on May 8. “Congrats to my daughter and all the graduates of 2022. Now go out in the world and be great!”

According to US News, "A traditional, full-time J.D. program lasts three years, though accelerated programs can be completed in only two years and part-time J.D. programs typically take at least four years to finish. Experts say that a three-year law program is both academically demanding and emotionally intense, especially during the first year."

Congratulations, Omoye! Keep doing amazing things!
