The Law Society of Ghana (LSG) has said it is worried about the order by the General Legal Council (GLC), to competitors who wish to sit for the Law School selection test to sign an endeavor which removes their entitlement to look for change for issues which might emerge out of the assessments.
An assertion gave by LSG said the endeavor, in the event that endorsed by the up-and-comers, "will remove their entitlement to demand re-checking of contents, re-counting of scores or survey of imprints".
The assertion, endorsed by General Secretary Atukwei Quaye, likewise said up-and-comers who sign the endeavor, "can't likewise demand to see their noticeable response scripts or the stamping plans utilized for denoting the inquiries".
"By the details of the endeavor, any outcomes delivered and distributed by the GLC will be conclusive and no inquiries can be raised about them", LSG noted.
The gathering said its anxiety "emerges mostly out of the way that the GLC is the public body laid out by regulation, answerable for the preparation and authorizing of legal counselors to rehearse in Ghana as well as managing the act of regulation in Ghana".
The LSG said it "shares the worries raised by the understudies" and some benevolent Ghanaians who have criticized this "unreasonable, unfair, erratic, and inappropriate order from the GLC".
"What precisely is the aim behind this mandate in any case? What is the GLC attempting to accomplish? In the same way as other Ghanaians, the LSG likewise trusts that this order, whenever permitted to win, has the probability" of being a "possible channel to reproducing defilement, nepotism, and the maltreatment of force".
"It is essential of note that the GLC, an organization which should prepare and permit legal counselors with moral standards of reasonableness equity, straightforwardness and high respectability, is, itself, needing to graph a course, which is straightforwardly inverse to such standards and which goes counter to best practices".
"How could a body which looks to prepare individuals to guard the privileges of others, ooze reasonableness and equity attempt to display the specific inverse of such precepts?" the gathering pondered.
It said: "The mandate of the GLC is against best practices and we ask them to be more straightforward as opposed to hazy in their dealings, taking everything into account".
"This shameless demonstration of force and mediation should not be permitted in a Constitutional regulation like our country", LSG demanded.
It added: "In our statute as a country, there are roads for change. It is the protected right of each Ghanaian to look for change when unsatisfied with an activity by any open body".
"Any such approach with the view to removing the ward of the court isn't adequate".
"The LSG approaches the GLC to pull out the mandate and rather lay out cycles and systems which will upgrade public certainty through straightforwardness and responsibility. The GLC should realize that public certainty is rapidly dissolving in the space of legitimate schooling and as an affiliation we submissively approach the GLC to reexamine their situation to acquire public trust."
