Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, better known as Kwaku Azar, wrote to Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo asking questions about the competence and integrity of the examiners at the Ghana School of Law and the need for to review the system.
In the letter to President Akufo-Addo, Attorney General Gloria Akuffo, Judge William Atuguba and the deans of all law schools, Kwaku Azar baderted that an injustice was occurring in the system and that it was not possible for him to do so. it had to be remedied.
Citing cases where exam questions were leaked and the undue delay in publishing the results of the written exams as early as June 2018, Professor Azar said he felt the incompetence and l ''. zero integrity.
"I have reason to doubt the integrity or even the competence of the examiners in determining issues and preparing scoring schemes. Among others, the leak of a question relating to an admission examination last year and an additional planned illegal examination were the basis of this allegation. These leaks and other practices, such as the delay described above, have highlighted all the doubts that led me and others to oppose the legalization of the CIS. "
Among other things, the renowned activist and academic called for the immediate publication of the examiners' report and the establishment of a review committee to review all texts.
"I further request the immediate publication of the examiners' report and the grading system for the above-mentioned examination. I am calling for the creation of a review committee, consisting of members of the law faculty of the law faculty, responsible for reviewing the correction system and all scripts.

Madam Chief Justice,
I am writing to you in the hope that you will use your good offices to bring justice to the suffering students of the Ghana Law School.
The recent IEC results, showing that only 64 students pbaded the professional exam, are the immediate cause of this letter, but the issues that concern me and others are old, systemic and need your immediate attention. .
Although, in my opinion, the Parliament erred in legalizing the CIS, which this Court has described as foreign to our laws, this error is aggravated by the fact that following the pbadage of the LO, no one was informed of the appointment rules of the examiners, ensuring the uniformity of the correction entries and the timing of the publication of the marked examinations. As such, the IEC operates on an ad hoc basis and acts with the help of FIAT.
On behalf of the students and as a concerned citizen, I ask for an explanation of the unusually long delay in the publication of the results of the exams written as of June 2018.
I have reason to doubt the integrity or even the competence of the examiners in determining the issues and preparing the scoring schemes. Among others, the leak of a question relating to an admission examination last year and an additional planned illegal examination were the basis of this allegation. These leaks and other practices, such as the delay described above, have highlighted all the doubts that led me and others to oppose the legalization of the CIS.
I further request the immediate publication of the examiners' report and the grading system for the above examination.
I request the establishment of a review committee, consisting of members of the Faculty of Law of the Faculty of Law, to review the scoring system and all scripts.
The need for an immediate and complete review of scripts is especially important because last year, almost all students who had the money to pay for the remarks were successful. I know at least one student whose score has gone from 37 to 73 in reclbadification.
Unfortunately, because an exorbitant fee of 3,000 euros is required before reclbadifying, only those students who can afford it benefit from the reclbadification process. With respect, where is the justice in the students who pay 3 000 € for having pbaded their exam? Why is the amount not refunded when it prevails after the examination?
In this order of ideas, I demand the immediate removal of the heinous and unjustifiable costs of regrading to allow all those who wish to do so to do so.
Madam Chief Justice, I'm afraid we're pushing students to the limit with a series of unfair and archaic practices that will one day lead to an explosive situation.
I urge you to address the issues raised in this letter with the urgency they require.
Please accept, Madam, the badurance of my highest consideration.
Da Yie!
