He stated that he felt a sense of pride and joy when he realised that his favourite teacher back in SHS had also been inducted into the Ghana Law School.

"He was my Teacher in SHS. The first day I met him (Mr Mathias) at the KNUST Faculty of Law library, I quickly moved closer to greet him and introduce myself as his former student. Though he couldn't make me out (which is normal for most teachers unless you shared closer ties with the student), the smile on his face spoke volumes of how proud he was to meet his student studying the same course as him."

Judges Baaman Laar said it was truly humbling when his former school teacher asked that they take a picture together on their special occasion.

He concluded by saying that the experience has taught him not to undermine or look down on anyone.

"This story has caused me to soberly reflect on my role as a teacher, not to undermine the very ones I am teaching today. If I am standing with my teacher today as a coursemate, my students can also do even better. Let us treat our students better and give them the very best in the discharge of our duties"
