Over 1,000 newly trained lawyers have been called to the Ghana Bar by the General Legal Counsel at its 60th enrolment onto the Roll of Lawyers.
The GLC convenes a formal meeting annually to enrol and call to the Ghana Bar candidates who have successfully passed their professional law examination organized by the Ghana School of Law after their results have been certified.
The new lawyers are certified by the GLC to begin their legal profession in the country.
