Acting Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie told 123 new lawyers to change how courts work in Ghana. He wants these fresh legal minds to help people who cannot pay for lawyers. The justice system needs fixing because cases take forever to finish. These lawyers must speak up about making the law better for everyone. They heard this message at the Accra conference center during their swearing-in event.
Family members watched proudly as each person became an official lawyer. The head judge made them promise to follow all legal rules forever. Each new lawyer got a certificate from three important legal leaders. Justice Baffoe-Bonnie asked them to teach younger students about law careers. He said being honest matters most when working with clients.
The judge reminded everyone that lawyers shape how regular people see the courts. He called their new job more than work, but a duty to fix problems. The ceremony happened because of rules from a 1960 law about who can practice law. These lawyers must stand up against unfair treatment. Baffoe-Bonnie ended by asking them to serve with their hearts.
