The University of Ghana School of Law in partnership with Speech Forces, with support from Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa invites all public and private senior high schools in Ghana to take part in the 5th edition of the Ghana Secondary Schools Moot Court Competition. The oral rounds will take place from 15th to 18th August 2024 in Accra, at the University of Ghana campus.
This competition provides a unique opportunity for students to develop their research, writing and oral advocacy skills as they endeavor to come to grips with some of the constitutional issues that are presently facing our country. It aims to create greater awareness in schools and communities in Ghana about the constitution and the values that it embodies through active participation. The aim is also to encourage talented young people to consider pursuing a career in law.
All schools are expected to complete the form below to register their interest. Registered schools are required to submit two (2) separate memorial documents for both plaintiff and defendant to ghanaschoolsmooting@gmail.com on or before 25th July 2024.
