The committee set up to probe the mass examination failure at the Ghana School of Law is calling for public input to ensure enduring reforms at the School.

The Committee chaired by Supreme Court Judge Justice Sophia Adinyirah was constituted by the General Legal Council after only 9 percent of students passed the 2018 bar exam.

This was worse than the 2017 results which had more than 80 percent of students failing, as only 91 of the more than 500 candidates passed.

Almost 300 students had to repeat the entire course, whilst 170 students were referred.

At the time, many of the students blamed the Independent Examination Board for the mass failure whilst others blamed the existing curriculum.

The Justice Adinyirah Committee is seeking to probe the mass examination failure at the Ghana School of Law and proffer solutions. It has also been tasked to make appropriate short, medium and long term recommendations.
