Responding to a question during his Facebook broadcast on Monday, December 23, Mr Mhama said the General Legal Council and other stakeholders should make legal education laisser-faire so as to enable more people to have a legal education in Ghana.
He added that even if the laisser-faire results in churning out substandard lawyers, it is up to the public to select the best out of the many.
