Here's the scene: a taxi going northwards into Accra, with many people milling by on the pavement. There is a school nearby, and schoolchildren (yellow and brown costumes) are making their way...somewhere. There are also traders (pink shirt) left, right, centre.
Talk about social engineering!
Who would have thought that so so close to Makola, which is Accra's biggest and most quintessential market, would be Ghana's Law School--but there it is!
Here's the blurb from elsewhere on the web about the Law School:
The Ghana School of Law was opened in November 1958, the first of its kind in Sub-
Sahara Africa. It is situated in Makola, Accra, close to the Supreme Court.
The first students completed training at the Law School in June 1963. between June 1963 and October 2004, as many as 3,000 lawyers have been trained at the Law School.
In the field of legislative drafting, the Law School has available to it the services of a distinguished and renowned figure in the subject, Professor V C R A C Crabbe as well asPage 5
Mrs Sabina Ofori-Boateng, Mr Gottfried Nikoi and Mrs Estelle Appiah who are all
Ghanaian citizens with extensive experience in legislative drafting.
The Law School has an infrastructure and environment which is conducive to intensive
study. It has a well-stocked library, internet resources and a computer laboratory,
spacious premises and good administrative support.
Who wants to study law?

As I have settled back into my American my lifestyle (rather nicely I might add) and I reflect upon my experience’s in Ghana, it’s hard to find words that accurately captivate my emotions during those 12 days. PRIVILEGED is a good place to start.Visit Here
