Ghanaian called to the Bar of England and Wales at 24

Deladem Dzotsi is a Ghanaian who has been called to the bar of England and Wales at age 24. She began her LLB at the  Nottingham Trent University at Nottingham Law School and the University of Law in Guildford, Surrey for her BPTC.

Deladem co-founded The New Black Society alongside  Akil Hunte, she was part of the Parliamentors programme and they won the award for Best New Society in 2018. Deladem works as a part-time paralegal with Lawrencia and Co. Solicitors.

27.05.21. Called to the Bar of England and Wales on my 24th birthday.

Nelson Mandela once said, “it always seems impossible, until it is done.”Studying the BPTC in ordinary circumstances was challenging. Studying during a pandemic was *incredibly* challenging.

Performing advocacy exams from my bedroom praying my connection would hold up. Taking the ‘big three’ from my kitchen, experiencing a neighbourhood power cut just before my ethics exam. Having my exam crash halfway through and losing all my work due to a software issue.

Having to take the paper again, finishing later than all my peers. I tapped into a part of me I didn’t know existed and I fought on. It was so worth it. God is faithful.

I couldn’t have done this without my wonderful mother, father, and closest ones’ support. They know exactly who they are, and I will forever be indebted to them. It really does take a village.

She shared the above with her connections on LinkedIn.

We wish her all the best in her law career.
