There was uneasy calm at the Ghana School of Law on Thursday as students protested against the questions in an exam paper they were supposed to write.
According to the students, while they were expecting to be tested on Criminal Procedure, two of the questions were on Law of Evidence questions, an absolutely different subject.
To make matters worse, one of the six questions on the paper had been cancelled leaving them with limited options to choose from, as they had only three questions on the subject they were supposed to write on left.
Displeased with the mix-up, the students, led by their Students Representative Council (SRC), boycotted the paper which was the second paper for the first semester.
Reports suggest the students already had reservations about the conduct of examinations at the school for some time now.
Previously, the school examined students internally; lecturers taught and set exams, but the General Legal Council, which has supervisory jurisdiction over the legal education in Ghana, led by Chief Justice Georgina Wood, decided to take  over the conduct of examinations and set up the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) for that purpose.
Since then, there have been anger by both students and lecturers who contend that this body is an anonymous body whose members are neither known nor governed by any statute.
Speaking to Joy News on condition of anonymity, some of the students expressed their frustrations by the repeated tardy nature of the examinations.
