Serwaa Amihere's Supreme Court Appearance Takes Unexpected Turn as Judges Query Her
- Serwaa Amihere faced questions from Supreme Court judges about appearing before them without a senior lawyer
- Serwaa, who was moving an application, was accompanied by another junior lawyer who had been at the Bar for only one year
- Despite the query, Serwaa moved her application and celebrated it as a significant milestone in her young law career
Broadcaster-turned-lawyer Serwaa Amihere found herself at the centre of a discussion after judges at Ghana's Supreme Court raised concerns about her appearance before the court without a senior lawyer accompanying her legal team.
The judges reportedly questioned why Serwaa, who was recently called to the Bar, was appearing alongside another relatively junior lawyer in a matter before the country's highest court without the supervision of a more experienced senior counsel.
According to The Law Platform, the development occurred during a hearing where Serwaa moved an application before the Supreme Court, THE REPUBLIC VRS THE COURT OF APPEAL, CIVIL DIV., KUMASI EX-PARTE: CALBANK PLC (SUIT NO. J5/54/2026)
The judges, led by Justice Amadu Tanko, the third seniormost Supreme Court Judge who was presiding over the case, reportedly expressed reservations about the practice, highlighting the importance of mentorship and guidance for young lawyers handling cases at such a high level.
