Legal education at GIMPA, from the first degree through the LL.M specialisations to the Institute's two law centres.
GIMPA Law School teaches law in two streams. The day LL.B takes students straight from school through the full first degree in law; the post-first-degree LL.B is built for graduates of other disciplines entering the profession.
Above them sit four LL.M specialisations — general, international criminal law and justice, international trade and business law, and dispute resolution — and the two centres the school established to carry its research and training into practice.
The moot court is not an extra. Students argue before judges, and the school competes regionally — the discipline that turns knowledge of the law into the ability to use it.
The school sits inside the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, founded in 1961 as a joint project of the Government of Ghana and the United Nations. Its graduates go into practice, the public service, and the bench.
“A lawyer is only as useful as the argument they can make when it matters. That is the standard this school holds itself to.”
