Dean of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Professor Ernest Kofi Abotsi, has urged the new lawyers who were called to the bar on Friday to strive to hold onto the virtues of excellence.
In a post on his X page, while congratulating the new lawyer, he said ‘A life of glory awaits only if you continue to hold onto the virtues of excellence taught!”
On Friday, October 11, seven hundred and seventy-seven lawyers were enrolled as Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Ghana at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The ceremony, known in legal circles as the call to the bar, is not just a culmination of legal studies but also a testament to the grit, fortitude, dedication and hard work of those enrolled.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo who is also the chairperson of the General Legal Council ruged the newly-called lawyers should deploy their knowledge in the law to engineer change in their communities.
She further stated that the new lawyers should take pupillage seriously as it is their passport to acquiring a Solicitors licence.
