Annually, the GLC conducts a formal gathering to enrol and call to the Ghana Bar those candidates who have successfully passed their professional law examination administered by the Ghana School of Law after their results have been certified.
These newly certified lawyers are granted the authority by the GLC to commence their legal careers in the country.
