Newly appointed Chief Justice of Ghana, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, has pledged to make the reform of legal education a central priority as he takes the helm of the country’s judiciary.
During his inauguration ceremony on Monday at his Accra residence, Baffoe-Bonnie emphasized the urgent need to overhaul the nation’s legal training system to better prepare future lawyers for the demands of the judiciary.
Modernizing legal training has been a persistent topic of public debate in Ghana, particularly amid concerns over limited access to law schools and the need to update curricula to reflect contemporary judicial realities.
Baffoe-Bonnie’s remarks signal a potential shift toward a more inclusive and skill-oriented legal education framework in the country.
