The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) is a professional association of lawyers in Ghana, including what used to be called solicitors and barristers but are now called legal practitioners, as well as magistrates. By convention all lawyers admitted to practice in Ghana become automatic members of the association. The first president of the Ghanaian Bar was Sierra Leonean lawyer Frans Dove.〔Audrey Gadzekpo, ("Dove-danquah, Mabel (1905–84)" ), in Eugene Benson, L. W. Conolly (eds), ''Encyclopedia of Post-Colonial Literatures in English'' (1994), 2nd edition, Routledge, 2005, p. 341.〕 ==History and membership== The British parliament established the Supreme Court of Judicature for the Gold Coast Colony in 1876, with a Chief Justice and no more than four Puisne Justices.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 John Mensah Sarbah was the first native of Ghana to be called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1887. The legal system was based on that of England, in which solicitors provide legal advice and prepare legal documents while barristers act as advocates in court. However, this division was not observed in practice in Ghana, and in 1960 an act abolished the distinction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT )〕 Until the Ghana School of Law was established in 1958, all lawyers were trained abroad, almost always at the Inns of Court in England. As of 2011 there are about 2,500 practicing lawyers, although not all have registered as members of the Bar Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Training of Ghanaian Lawyers )〕 Nene Amegatcher was elected as President of the GBA on 20 September 2012, with Peter Zwennes as his vice.〔("Nene Amegatcher is new GBA President" ), ''Joy Online'', 20 September 2012.〕〔Nene Amegatcher, ("GBA GBA President’s Welcome" ), Ghana Bar Association.〕 Some past Presidents of the GBA include: *J.
