Ridge, Accra – Eight hundred and twenty-four (824) new 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 marked not only the culmination of years of rigorous legal study but also a testament to the grit, fortitude, dedication, and hard work of those called. More than a formality, it was a day earned and worthy of celebration.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Acting Chief Justice, His Lordship Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, who also serves as Chairperson of the General Legal Council, reminded the new lawyers of the enduring moral purpose of the law:
“The law lives not in books, statutes, or precedents but in the hands of those who believe in its power to make life better. You have chosen a path that demands courage—but it’s a path that leads to purpose and fulfilling greatness.”
He further charged the new lawyers to approach their calling with empathy and integrity, urging them to “go and make your words heal.”
The Chief Justice congratulated the newly enrolled lawyers and extended his best wishes for the journey ahead.
As another generation enters the noble profession, 233Legal joins in wishing the new lawyers every success in upholding the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and service to the nation.
