The Attorney General has requested to meet with the 499 aggrieved candidates who are accusing the General Legal Council (GLC) over their inability to gain admission following a new quota system.
The case involving 499 aggrieved law students who were denied entry into the Ghana School of Law after they are said to have attained the 50% pass mark set by the examination body of the school has been adjourned to 19 November.
Assistant state attorney, Patricia Ayirebe Acquah, on Tuesday (9 November), told the High Court that the Attorney General responded to the claims of the 143 applicants and is ready to proceed per the instructions the court will issue.
Lawyer for the applicants, Martin Kpebu confirmed that he has been served with the response of the AG and would therefore require a bit of time to study it to satisfy himself with the position of the AG.
Justice Nicholas Mensah Abodakpi’s court obliged the lawyer for the applicants and has adjourned sitting to the 19 November 2021, for the case to take its natural course.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General has requested to meet with the 499 aggrieved candidates who are accusing the General Legal Council (GLC) over their inability to gain admission following a new quota system introduced after the law school entrance examination had taken place and the results had been released.
The meeting is scheduled to take place on Tuesday and the Attorney General is expected to table some settlement proposals to the aggrieved students which if adopted, may lead to the withdrawal of the current legal action of the students.
Leader of the Aggrieved Law Students Daniel Sackey who spoke after the case was adjourned is optimistic that justice will be served.
