However, my resolve wasgreatly boosted and further influenced by the writingsof Plato, Aristotle and Cicero during my undergraduatestudies here at UG. Plato’s “Republic” particularly thechapter on the conception of justice completely sold meon how relevant the legal profession is to the growth andstability of any society.Studying law at UG is very fulfilling. The astuteness of theLecturers coupled with the interactive tutorial sessionsresults in students developing a deeper appreciation ofthe complexities of the legal profession. The Faculty’sresourceful modern library is the best in West Africa. Lowstudent lecturer ratio makes it possible for student tohave quality contact hours with lecturers.My choice of reading law at UG was not premised onan accident or a byproduct of luck but borne out of apersonal conviction that law education is the Universityof Ghana.I can’t wait to proceed to the Law School from hereto receive the certification, which will enable meto contribute towards the search for justice for theoppressed and the marginalized.Faculty of Law - University of Ghana2013/2014 Univeresity of Ghana Prospectus 121
