Ridge Accra,- Seven hundred and seventy-seven (777) lawyers were this afternoon 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.

This prestigious event is therefore more than just a formality: it is a day earned and worthy of celebration.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo who is also the chairperson of the General Legal Council stated that 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.

233legal wishes the new lawyers the best in a fulfilling but challenging journey as they uphold the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and service to the nation.
