PLACEMENT OVERVIEW:
You
can work with a legal practice in Accra giving you the opportunity to get
exposure to all aspects of legal practice and gain experience in the day-to-day running of a
Ghanaian law practice. If you are
going to specialise in a particular area of law, the law firm will be more
than happy to take this into consideration during your placement.
Ghanaian
law follows common law, which is based on the British system. During
the placement, you will be given plenty of opportunity to visit the
Ghanaian Courts and observe how they function. Cases could range from
civil and criminal law to conveyancing, Probate and property law. If
you're interested in Human Rights law, you should be exposed to quite a
lot of it in this practice.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN FROM DOING THIS PROJECT:
New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding
of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional
development.
An entry on your CV or résumé that will put you head
and shoulders above most others in the job market
And best of all ... an unforgettable experience!
As with all our Work
Experience placements, this placement is tailored to suit your specific
requirements to ensure you gain the maximum benefit and experience. We’ll
have detailed discussions with you to ascertain what you’re looking for
then we’ll try to tailor the programme for you.
"So far have been really impressed
with everything, the people are really friendly and have been very well
looked after by my host family and everybody else. I've probably been most
impressed by the nature of the work I've been doing, feel like I'm getting
much more responsibility than I would be able to get in England, and
dealing with Human Rights work which is very interesting as well. I'm
getting to prepare proper reports and proposals and not just doing menial
tasks and the trip to Ada was great. Have also been on a trip to the
opening of the Ghanaian Parliament and I didn't really expect any of this
when I came!
I get on really well with the
other volunteers and we all meet up regularly so always have plenty to do.
We went to Cape Coast and Kakum the other week, which was brilliant." Paul Jones

First

interesting - lots of Human Rights stuff.
