The Ghana Law School Entrance Exam still to take place despite US based Professor Kwaku Asare's filing of a lawsuit praying the court to place an interlocutory injunction on the exam.

The Ghana law school entrance exam is scheduled to take place on the 27th of July 2018, a year after the supreme court ruling shot down the Ghana School of Law admission process which required students to sit for an entrance exam, followed by an interview, as a violation of the Legislative Instrument (L.I) 1296.

Pursuant to the L.I was the requirement of an applicant to have passed specific seven subjects during the LLB program, be of good behavior and to hold an LLB degree in order to be considered for admission into the Ghana School of Law.

However, a legal counsel subsidiary legislation committee’s recommendation to Parliament was adopted in 2017, validating the requirement for LLB holders to sit for an entrance exam before admission.

 
The interview, which further sought to remove some applicants who may have passed the exams but purportedly fail at this session, have rather been scrapped.

The US-based Ghanaian Professor who’s earlier suit brought about the supreme court ruling yet again, filed a motion on June 8, 2028 at the supreme court to place an injunction on the scheduled exam on the 27th of July, 2018. A date for hearing by the court however, is yet to be fixed..
