Barring any last-minute hiccups or changes, all is set for the Annual Learned Dinner of the Law Students’ Network (LSN) to take place tomorrow, Thursday, November 12, 2026, in Accra.
The event, which is expected to bring together newly called lawyers, law students, young legal practitioners and other stakeholders in the legal profession, will be held at White Restaurant, next to Soho, at 6:00 p.m.
Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is expected to grace the occasion as the special guest.
The dinner, organised by Dame & Partners in collaboration with the Law Students’ Network (LSN) and the Young Lawyers Network (YLN), is being held under the auspices of the NPP’s Legal Directorate.
The annual gathering is intended to provide a platform for interaction, networking and professional engagement among members of the legal fraternity, particularly young lawyers and students preparing to enter the profession.
Celebration of Newly Called Lawyers
This year’s event comes barely a month after the General Legal Council admitted 1,568 newly qualified lawyers to the Ghana Bar at the 63rd Call to the Bar ceremony on October 9, 2026.
The occasion is therefore expected to provide an opportunity for newly called lawyers affiliated with LSN to celebrate their professional achievement and interact with colleagues and senior members of the profession.
The Network had earlier invited its members who were called to the Bar this year to submit their names for participation in the dinner.
Beyond the celebrations, the gathering is expected to strengthen professional relationships and encourage continued engagement between law students, young practitioners and established members of the legal community.
Bawumia to Grace Dinner
Dr Bawumia’s expected participation is among the highlights of the event, which will bring together members of the legal profession for an evening of celebration and interaction.
The former Vice President, who has been announced as the special guest, is expected to join participants in celebrating the achievements of newly qualified lawyers.
The programme will also provide an informal setting for professional networking, mentorship and the exchange of experiences among participants.
Date Rescheduled
The dinner was originally scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, but was subsequently rescheduled to Thursday, November 12.
A confirmation flyer issued by the organisers has reaffirmed the new date, venue and commencement time.
Participants are expected to appear in formal or black-tie attire, in keeping with the character of the occasion.
The event is also expected to feature entertainment and social activities, offering newly called lawyers an opportunity to relax and celebrate after completing their professional legal training.
The annual dinner forms part of efforts to maintain professional and social connections among members of LSN and the wider legal community, while recognising the achievements of those beginning their legal careers.
