“Back in school, they say those who have less academic pressure, they have time to dress up. Look at them dressing up with their shoes and things. Black and white, black and white like Adidas boys,” he said.

In his comparison, he claimed that law is a ‘social course‘ based on opinion, whereas science is grounded in undeniable facts and formulas. He also pointed out that the law allows for a low confidence interval of 65%, unlike sciences that would need between 95-99% accuracy.

He said:

“Law students cannot do science. Give them one math to solve, they will all run away.”

The Ghanaian also accused the legal profession of stealing the practice of using Latin terms (like prima facie) from scientists, who have long used Latin for scientific names.

Although his tone is confrontational, he ended on a lighter, self-aware note, admitting that his rant might be fuelled by a bit of “jealousy” over the public attention law graduates receive.

“It might sound comical, but you made very solid and factual points. I’ve said this time and again that 50% of the world’s problems today are caused by Lawyers, the other 50% by politicians. Unfortunately, the majority of our politicians today are lawyers.”
