I am at pains to come up with this letter, but I think I should still bring it up for the consideration of all concerned, with the hope that the careers of our up and coming young ones will not be unduly disturbed while they grow. Ghana’s Institutions of higher learning have always had a reputation for discipline, as well for high academic and professional standards over the years. As such when Ghanaian degree holders apply to continue their courses overseas they are not discriminated against. In the same vein, foreign degree holders who by choice also decide to pursue their post – graduate academic and professional programmes in Ghana, have been accorded the same recognition irrespective of where their degree came from, be it US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, India,Japan etc. Foreigners, as well as foreign – trained Ghanaian graduates, have pursued their post–graduate academic and professional courses in most Ghanaian Universities, the Ghana Law School, Medical School, Maritime Academy, and Military Academy etc. Today, foreign students account for a high percentage of students in most campuses of Ghana’s Institutions of higher learning. The attainment of academic and professional laurels from any of Ghana’s Institutions of higher learning today has become a prestige for students and guardians in the African Region, and beyond. However, signals being picked from the Ghana Law School in its 2012 admissions may dent Ghana’s credibility if the treatment of foreign LLB degree holders is anything to go by. There is no doubt, that the blend of foreign trained and the locally trained LLB degree holders enrich legal education in Ghana. They’ve made for fruitful bi – lateral, and multi – lateral co – operation, and the development of International Law, with Foreign Universities. Over the years 90–95% of foreign trained law graduates have been Ghanaians. Many of their parents live and work outside Ghana for the Ghana Government, or as private citizens. Most of these graduates have families. Many work full time outside Ghana. To qualify for Law School entry, these foreign graduates are made to do a one year National Service, as their local LLB students do, after which they are made to register for a three month Pre – Law School course on the Ghana Legal System. All successful candidates from this course progress to the full - time two - year Professional Law Course. This year 2012, the fate of this category of foreign (LLB) students for admission into the Ghana Law School, hangs in the balance, after going through all the admissions procedures above. As the Law School re-opens this week, this year’s batch of foreign LLB holders are yet to receive their admission letters! They have left their families, and work, to pursue higher education in their country of choice, only to be discriminated against, and get stranded in the process! Was it worth it to leave family and work to come down to seek further education? Or is it a sin to want to come down to educate in your own country? One wonders why admission of Foreign Trained Law Students into a well - established Institution as the Ghana Law School, this year, has been shrouded in secrecy, doubt and controversy? Or are foreign LLB degrees inferior to our local degrees? What happens if foreign Universities also treat holders of Ghanaian degrees in the same way in future? I think our foreign LLB degree holders are being unjustly treated, frustrated, demoralized, embarrassed, and discriminated against in a Law School! This casts a huge slur on the integrity and reputation on the renowned Ghana Law School! Or is it Politics at work! Maybe, someone has to draw the attention of Ghana’s Chief Justice, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General, and Minister of Justice, as well as the Ghana Legal Council, to their plight. It may be an oversight since headship of the Ghana Law School has changed hands recently. The situation can be rectified before too late. The Law’s School’s reputation is at stake!
