Private legal practitioner, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo has suggested to the Ghana School of Law to consider other ways of testing law students for admission without resorting to examination.
Some papers from Friday’s (23 September) Ghana School of Law entrance examinations have allegedly been leaked.
This forced the Independent Examination Committee of the General Legal Council to cancel the exams.
Reacting to the development on Asaase Radio’s news analysis and current affairs show – The Forum – on Saturday (24 September), Samoa called for the naming and shaming of culprits in the leakage.
“There are ways to test law students without resorting to examination. These avenues must be considered because clearly, the exam method has far too many loopholes.
“I am not sure from whence this desperation comes from. But the integrity of the profession must be maintained. There is a feeling that year in, year out the desperation of people to become lawyers get worse.”
“We need to name and shame the people who have participated in this atrocity because there are systems that can identify them,” Samoa said.
