Student oriented trips

There are a number of course based trips which allows students to experience some of the class discussions first hand. These trips include a visits to the High Court Complex, Accra or to a nearby District Court and a yearly visit to the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons as part of the Ghana Legal System module.

Other course based trips include visits to the Ghana Arbitration Centre as part of the Alternative Dispute Resolution module and a visit to the ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ slum as part of the Environmental Law module.

During this week the Law Society has various excursions, participates in moot courts judged by Senior Legal minds, host a student symposium – where they present different papers and articles as well as present their point of view and enjoy a day out of Accra to network with each other. The week is crowned off with a formal Law Week dinner.

Recognised by the Nigerian Legal Council (NLC)

Our degree is now recognised by the Nigerian Legal Council (NLC) as a qualifying law degree to enter the NLC. Since our students qualify from outside Nigeria they are required to take the Bar Part I exams before they are able to proceed to Bar Part II. Students who qualify from law degrees accredited in Nigeria are eligible to proceed straight on to bar Part II.

Law is jurisdictional, what this means is that each law programme offered in a particular place is tailored to meet the requirements of that particular place/ country. This is especially the case with undergraduate law programmes. Our graduates, although they get a UK degree will receive a number of exemptions to qualify in the United Kingdom and get the chance to further their education in other countries.

At Lancaster University Ghana (LUG) you can receive a UK degree whilst you learn Ghanaian Law.

Co-hosted by the Center for Catholic Studies and the Zeta chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Fairfield University, Dr. Kaveny of Boston College will present a lecture titled “Nostalgia, Nationalism, and American Public Life.”
