The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame, has directed the General Legal Council to admit the 499 students who were denied entry into the Ghana School of Law.
This was contained in a letter the Minister wrote to the GLC.
The Minister asked the GLC to admit the students November this year or in May 2022.
According to him, provision can be made for the organization of classes in a way to cater for the entire candidates of the part one course of professional law course.
“Grant deferred admission to the 499 candidates with effect from May 22. A special provision can be made for the first year professional law course by candidates already admitted to run from October, 2021 to April, 2022. The 499 candidates may undertake their programme from May 2022 and ending November, 2022. Arrangements would have to be put in place for the two sets of candidates to undertake their pupilage and be called to the bar at a common date in the next two years.”
The letter further asked the GLC to organize a special examination in November for the aggrieved students to justify their admission.
The Minister had earlier refused a resolution tea he’d by parliament on the matter.
He said parliament had no powers to direct the GLC to admit the 499 students.
The Minority in Parliament has also filed a motion demanding the removal of the Minister.
