New lawyers urged to uphold integrity of profession

Reverend Dr. Bishop Charles Abban, President of the International Clergy Association Inc. has thrown a challenge to legal practitioners and lawyers in general to uphold integrity over money and inducements.

He has also urged lawyers to prioritize fairness in the smooth administration of justice.

According to Dr. Bishop Charles Abban, who also doubles as the Executive Director of The National Association of Clergy Ghana (NACAG), the local chapter of the International Clergy Association Inc., this is the surest way to ensure a fair trial and the quest to seek justice.

On Friday 5th May 2023, the General Legal Council called some 196 students to the Ghana Bar.

It is against this background that the renowned Minister of God has made this admonition.

"Lawyers play very critical roles in the justice system so the onus is on them to ensure and demonstrate high work ethics to boost professional standards and preserve the rule of law at all times," he said.

He further charged lawyers to serve their clients and the public in truth and honesty.
