Sam Okudzeto is a member of the State Council and Lecturer in Law.
A member of the State Council and member of the Discipline Committee of the General Council of Justice accused private universities of creating law schools for the sole purpose of earning money.
According to him, the situation affects the quality of students seeking to be lawyers in the country.
"Many private universities have created law schools because they think it's a lucrative business. I fear that academic standards are going downhill and that the General Legal Council can not inflict this kind of harm on the innocent public, "he told Francis Abban in the Morning Starr.
The comments come after critics who hailed the Chief Justice's position that she will not allow the mbad production of lawyers in Ghana.
"Those of us who have so long served on the General Legal Council, those of us who have spent too much time in the Discipline Committee, have reason to worry about the promulgation of the law on the profession of lawyer in the 1960s, "said the Chief Justice during his speech before the conference of the judiciary, the bar and professors at the hotel Labadi Beach.
Judge Sophia Akuffo, referring to her concerns about legal education in Ghana, further stated: "Those of you who advocate for rights, advocates and advocates who defend rights what you want. "
She went on to say, "As long as I have nothing to do with it, it will not happen.
"Just as you can not mbad-produce doctors and surgeons, Ghanaians should not get lawyers."
