“The examination, which is being supervised by the Independent Examination Committee of the General Legal Council, has four pages with two questions that candidates are expected to answer,” Citi News reported.

The report said the General Legal Council had called a meeting on what decision to take.

This is not the first time this is happening, in July 2022, the Independent Examinations Body was compelled to cancel the “Civil Procedure” paper because it was suspected to have leaked hours before the time it was scheduled to be taken.

Commenting on the incident, an expert on education with think tank Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), Nii Armah Addy, said it was unfortunate that the IEC questions keep leaking.

"It is a shame where we are with regards to legal education...the LI 1296, which is the legislative instrument that spells out the qualification for legal education in Ghana has been crucified by the GLC," Mr Addy told YEN.com.gh.

He said the law has been overturned by the General Legal Council to viscously prevent people aspiring to study law to do so.

"Why? Because at a point in time, there were more people qualifying for professional legal education than the available space to admit them," he said.

He has admonished the GLC to be in tune with modern principles of legal education that does not deliberately truncate people's aspirations to practice law.
