The complaint brought by 499 law students who were refused admission to the Ghana School of Law against the General Legal Council, GLC, and the Attorney General has been dropped.
The students brought the case to court on the grounds that they were refused admission to the Ghana School of Law by the General Legal Council despite passing the exams with a minimum of 50%.
Numerous petitions for admission were filed, including one from Parliament, which instructed the General Legal Council to accept the students.
Godfred Dame, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, later suggested in a letter to Parliament that their directive was unlawful.
However, it has been revealed in a letter issued to the GLC prior to the legislative decision that the Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame, had actually requested that the GLC admit the students.
The Attorney General proposed that the students be accepted in November of this year or in May of 2022 in the letter. He did, however, propose three pathways for entrance.
Martin Kpebu, the students’ lawyer, confirmed that the matter had been dropped. He said the decision was based on the AG’s letter to the GLC requesting admission of the aggrieved students.
