The Chief Justice of Ghana has announced sweeping reforms to the country’s Call to the Bar process, aimed at strengthening professional standards, enhancing integrity, and restoring public confidence in the legal system.
According to the Chief Justice, the reforms will focus on improving transparency in admissions, tightening compliance with legal education requirements, and ensuring that only qualified and ethically sound candidates are enrolled as lawyers.
The changes are also expected to streamline administrative procedures and introduce stricter vetting mechanisms to uphold discipline within the profession.
The Chief Justice emphasised that the reforms form part of a broader agenda to modernise Ghana’s justice delivery system and maintain the dignity of the legal profession.
Further details on the implementation timeline and specific policy adjustments are expected to be communicated to stakeholders in the coming weeks.
