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.
