The Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Ghana Law School says plans by government to expand access to legal education must not be mere rhetoric.
The Minister Designate for Justice and Attorney General, Godfred Dame said at his vetting on Friday, February 12, 2021, that there is a proposed amendment to the Legal Profession Act to enable accessibility to the course.
Responding to this in a
Citi News interview, the Students Representative Council (SRC) President of the Ghana School of Law, Philemon Laar lauded the initiative.
He further urged the government to put words into action.
“There has to be a strategic plan as to how legal education should be in this country. After the outcry for reforms from students all over the country, we thought that things will change, but we saw nothing. But then, we welcome the news our learned ‘designate’ [Godfred Dame] put out on Friday and we hope that this will not be mere political rhetoric.”
