The General Legal Council, in collaboration with the National Accreditation Board, is to review and develop the curricula, method of instruction and admission procedures of all approved universities running the Bachelor of Law (LLB) programme.

Currently, the Council is developing measures aimed at improving the capacities of the various institutions running the LLB programme and restructuring the operations of the independent examination committee to enable it to discharge its mandate more efficiently.

Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin-Yeboah, who is the Chairman of the General Legal Council, dropped the hint, on Thursday when speaking at the launch of the 10th anniversary of the Kumasi Campus of the Ghana School of Law.
