The University of Ghana School of Law has taken the decision to withdraw more than 20 students due to their academic non-performance, according to reports.

A comprehensive list, containing names and ID numbers of the affected students, has revealed their failure to meet the minimum requirements necessary to maintain their enrollment.

Among the students who have been withdrawn, four were regular Law students, while the remaining 19 were Weekend students who had been admitted over the past two years to pursue the Postgraduate LLB Degree.

These dismissed students were notified of their status weeks ago and were given the option to reapply to the school, should they wish to pursue admission through a new process.

Notably, the list includes individuals from diverse professional backgrounds, including some who hold prominent positions and have familial ties to influential politicians.

However, their inability to meet the minimum academic standards has resulted in their dismissal from the institution.

The University of Ghana School of Law, known as the premier center for legal education in Ghana, has consistently played a leading role in preparing students for the legal profession.

Upon graduation, students from the School of Law proceed to the Ghana School of Law Makola for further training to become practicing lawyers.

Originally established as a department within the Faculty of Social Studies in the 1958/59 academic year, the UG School of Law later became a separate Faculty in 1960/61 and ultimately attained full status as a school in the 2014/15 academic year.
