Students at the Ghana School of Law have been asked to submit their social media handles for monitoring.
The school says the directive is to ensure that they maintain a character befitting the legal profession.
The Director of the School, Yaw Oppong, in explaining the reason behind the directive noted that it would help many students willing to be called to the bar to maintain a good character.
“Everybody will have to provide their social media handles. We are going to look at it and you will be monitored in terms of conduct. We are required by law to make recommendations. We don’t want to stampede you.
“You are going to reapply beyond the pass and submit yourselves for all legitimate checks,” Mr Oppong said during the swearing-in ceremony of the School of Law Students’ Representative Council (SRC) executives.
As a result, he charged the students with submitting themselves for character checks prior to the approval of the General Legal Council.
