The main actors of legal education in Ghana have been brought before the human rights division of the High Court of Accra.

The seven plaintiffs studying at the Ghana Law School want to prevent the school and its allies from carrying out additional exams with "too short" notice.

Reported accused are the governing body of legal education; General Legal Counsel, Ghana Faculty of Law, Legal Education Council and Independent Review Committee.

Students claim that the results of their remarks were published 12 weeks after the application, which they believe is contrary to the regulations.

They also ask them the directive to register for the additional exam within three days is unreasonable.

The students are asking the High Court to force the law school to extend the registration period "to allow plaintiffs to register for their additional papers".

In their fifth application, the students want the exams to go from June 17 to two months to allow the complainants the time they would have been entitled to if the results had been reported within five weeks.

The student's lawyer is expected to seek a provisional injunction on Friday to prevent the defendants from organizing the exams.

The prosecution indicated that the court would be seized on June 18 of an interlocutory injunction that, once granted, would prevent the accused from conducting the examinations until a final decision is rendered on the merits.

Mbad Chess at the Faculty of Law

The Chief Justice, who chairs the General Legal Council, has meanwhile established a committee to investigate the mbadive failures of the law school.

Mbadive failures have recently raised concerns that students are organizing many events.

About 81% of students who pbaded the bar exam in 2017 failed.

Of the 474 students who pbaded the final exams 2017-2018, only 91 students, or 19%, were found to have pbaded.

The commission of inquiry is chaired by Sophia Adinyira (JSC).
