UCC Law Partners Judicial Service and Campbell University to Strengthen Practical Legal Education

The Faculty of Law at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has entered into a partnership with the Judicial Service of Ghana and Campbell University School of Law to strengthen practical legal education and deepen judicial collaboration.

The partnership, formalised through a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), will provide law students from both institutions with practical exposure to Ghana’s judicial system through an annual summer internship programme lasting up to eight weeks.

Under the initiative, students will work alongside judges of Ghana’s Superior Courts where they will engage in legal research, observe court proceedings, support judicial analysis and gain insight into different legal systems.

The programme aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical legal experience while promoting cultural exchange and professional collaboration among students.

The signing ceremony brought together representatives from the three institutions, including Ghana’s Chief Justice, judicial officials and academic leaders.

The institutions say the partnership is expected to enhance students’ practical skills and global perspectives while contributing to the development of ethical and internationally minded legal professionals.
