KNUST Law Faculty lauded for excellence in legal education

The Government has commended the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Faculty of Law for its pivotal role in promoting legal education in Ghana.

Ms Diana Asonaba Dapaah, a Deputy Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, said the Faculty, via its comprehensive academic programmes and courses, had contributed to producing high-calibre legal brains for the benefit of society.

She, therefore, urged it to consistently deliver quality legal education to its students by maintaining proper student-teacher ratios, offering the best and most current legal materials.

Ms Asonaba Dapaah said this at the launch of the 20th Anniversary of the Faculty in Kumasi, on the theme: “Prospects and Challenges of Quality, Accessible and Affordable Legal Education in the 21st Century”.

From its establishment in August 2003, the KNUST Law Faculty has trained many lawyers and human resource personnel, many of whom occupy positions of great responsibility in Ghana and the world at large.

For instance, out of the 21 new justices of the High Court, sworn into office in February 2023 by the President, four of them were alumni of the Faculty.
