Advocates on social media have appealed to the Law development center to accord the Bar course female students who recorded themselves dancing at the high court commercial court a lapse of judgment since they are youths.
A lapse of judgment is when one makes an error that they would not have ordinarily made.
A group of eight girls who are undertaking clerkship at the high court on Monday recorded a video of themselves dancing to the popular ‘Tumbiza sound’ song.
These were summoned to appear at the office of the head, bar course at LDC without fail this afternoon.
The Uganda law society deputy president Diana Angwech says since the students are young, they did not have the foresight to understand the implications of the venue in which they chose to carry out a social media challenge.
Makerere University law don Dr Busingye Kabumba says much as the dancing was not the best of their time, sometimes people even lawyers need to be left to be kids.
