He also said Ghana’s ongoing constitutional reform process placed an important responsibility on the legal profession.

Speaking at the Ghana Law Society’s maiden Annual Bar Conference, held under the theme “Legal Reforms: The Place of the Ghanaian Lawyer,” Mr Bagbin said the effectiveness of any law must ultimately be judged by its impact on citizens.

He said lawyers had a responsibility to contribute to the development of Ghana’s legal and constitutional framework and should not view their role solely as practising existing laws.
