A former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has raised serious issues about the Legal Education Bill to be presented before Parliament, describing it as troubling and lacking the depth needed to address the systemic issues facing legal training in the country.
Speaking on Joy News' PM Express on June 2, 2025, Ansa-Asare argued that the bill fails to address critical aspects of the legal professional training.
He argued that it focused on the academic side of legal education leaving out aspects that cover the professional legal practices that make the training holistic. "In the first place, the 'title' Legal Education Bill is a little troubling.
Legal education comprises the academic route as well as the professional practice route," he stated.
