Why Wonder Kutor was not called to the bar in 2022

Wonder Kutor told YEN.com.gh after signing the Book of Roll of Lawyers at the well-organised event that he missed out last year because of his inability to complete his mandatory internship.

He explained that he was at the time out of the country studying at the University of North Florida, Jacksonville, Florida.

"You see, in line with the procedures leading to the call to the bar, I went for an exit interview on April 28, 2023, and having passed was listed together with other graduates to be called. However, I completed my internship in January this year upon my return from my studies at the University of North Florida," he explained.

He was called to the bar by the outgoing Chief Justice, Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah.

Kutor, a former SRC president for the Ghana School of Law, is fondly known for the slogan “Together to the Bar". He used that slogan during his campaign to become the SRC president.

At the call event, Wonder Kutor was greeted with that slogan when some other newly called lawyers cheered him on as he rose at the mention of his name.

This year’s call also recorded two former presidents of the SRC of the Ghana School of Law. Aside from Wonder Kutor, Philemon Laar, who was the SRC president for the 2020/2021 academic year, was also called to the bar.

In all, this year seems to have been eventful for the NDC NEC member as he got married to another lawyer in February 2023. He met his wife while studying at the Ghana School of Law.
