PUCG\u2019s Vision for products from the Law Faculty<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributing to building a robust legal system in the country to strengthen the\nGhanaian society and secure its future, the President said the products from PUCG Law Programme will not\nonly know the law, and apply it appropriately, but would be imbued with\nChristian values to make them responsible lawyers and not become conduits of\ncorruption in our judicial system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstanding and appreciating the Law will help you to be\ngood lawyers. Appreciation of the Law leads to a better application of the Law\nin a given situation. Regurgitation of facts known as \u2018chew and pour\u2019 is not\nthe best approach to your studies. Passing your end of semester exams is just\nnot enough. You are here to appreciate the substantive law,\u201d he reiterated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President assured the students that the lecturers have been carefully selected\nand they are the best they can have teaching law in any University. He said the\nLaw library is well resourced, but will be constantly updated from time to\ntime. \u201cThe Moot Court is one of the nicest you can get in this area,\u201d he noted.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build\na brand <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Prof.\nEmmanuel Adow Obeng implored the students that their body\nis an environment for your mind. \u201cKeeping yourselves tidy and dressing\nappropriately is a factor for good academic life. The University is concerned\nabout your academic performances. However, it will not overlook the way you\ndress to lectures.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs potential lawyers,\nyou need to have a brand. A well-dressed lawyer commands respect. To those\naspiring to be judges in the near future, being morally upright and with a\nproven integrity is a condition for your appointment as a judge. You need not\nengage in shameful activities that will bring your name into disrepute,\u201d he\nadvised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
