According to them, the board was formed last year to ‘check the rampant leaks professional law papers which are often fraught with’.

[contextly_sidebar id=”Q6zPZfnqZp3SGoJVxbWI03k2ce107hx4″]However, they claim that some of their colleagues bragged about getting access to the exam paper.

One question was cancelled on the morning of the paper following claims of a leak.

But the students challenged the credibility of the 4 other questions they were left to answer, fearing that those questions may have leaked too.

They also noted that they were writing a paper on Criminal Procedure,  but two of the questions had absolutely nothing to do with the subject.

This was compounded by the fact that one question had been cancelled, reducing the options available to them.

Even though they fear wholesale failure for their decision, they reason that it is a wiser option since several cases of students who felt unlawfully failed are still pending in the superior courts.

Speaking to Citi News, the affected students called for a fresh paper as soon as possible.

According to them, students on the Kwame Nkrumah Univerity of Science and Technology (KNUST) “have actually regretted writing the papers because they know the results will be nothing but a failure.”

The student said if the independent examination board could not set the questions to the along with what the students are taught, “they should pack their bags and leave us… We cannot allow our rights to be trampled upon by the very lawyers who are training us to be lawyers.”

According to the students, even though they were writing a paper on Criminal Procedure, two of the questions had absolutely nothing to do with the subject.

[contextly_sidebar id=”MDTBGBoAS04ZUtxf3f1WlcvKhsyz8cxD”]The situation was compounded by the fact that one question had been cancelled, reducing the options available to them as compulsory questions.

One of the affected students narrated to Citi News that, “When we got to the exams hall, we had six questions on the exam sheet and we were told question two had been cancelled, so we were left with five questions to answer of which we were supposed to answer four.”

“Then we realised the question one and question three fell under a different topic altogether, which is evidence. So what it basically means is that we had only three questions to answer. How can a student answer four questions out of three questions in the exams hall?”

The student acknowledged that mistakes could happen, which is why he urged the authorites to “go back, bring another set of questions that fall under what we have learned so far so that we can adequately write an exam on it. That is why we didn’t write the exam today [Thursday].
