Ghana is one of the most stable and well-governed African nations. Life in its capital city, Accra, might be far removed from any North-American or European city but, as a former British colony, the Ghanaian legal system is based on English Common Law.
This means that if you are in training, or already practicing law in countries such as the UK, US, Canada or Australia, the experience of volunteering for a law firm in Ghana will be both interesting and, career-wise, invaluable.
The experiences that you will have while volunteering in Ghana look good on any CV
In Ghana you can choose to work in a business and commercial law firm, or to join one of our exciting and ever-expanding human rights law placements.

Typically your placement will involve several elements. You might sometimes attend court, where you could monitor and report on proceedings. You might be producing information resources, such as research reports or questionnaires.
You'll also be encouraged to make good use of the local media by writing articles on social themes, or even appearing in radio debates! At other times you might visit community groups to give advice on specific civil-rights aspects. There is plenty for you to become involved with and you will definitely be kept busy!
