SUMMARY:Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo Moot Court Competition
DESCRIPTION:Since 2016\, GIMPA Law School has worked closely with students 
 to introduce\, nurture\, and sustain a moot court culture at the school. T
 he process of selecting students to join moot teams has been fairly compet
 itive\, and students have embraced the idea that moot court activities enh
 ance their learning experience. However\, it quickly became clear that joi
 ning a moot team requires long hours of research\, good legal writing skil
 ls\, and several rehearsals. This reality meant that only the brightest st
 udents could afford to do the work required to make it onto a moot team. W
 hile the students understood this and showed their commitment\, the facult
 y eventually took steps to acknowledge the effort that goes into preparing
  memorials and rehearsing for oral arguments.\nIn 2017\, the faculty imple
 mented a policy allowing any final-year student who is part of a moot team
  to submit a memorial they worked on in place of their final-year disserta
 tion. This policy has proven useful as an incentive for motivating moot co
 urt participants in their second and third years to continue competing eve
 n in their final year at the faculty.\nIn February 2024\, the GIMPA Law Sc
 hool successfully launched the Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo Moot Court Compet
 ition under the distinguished auspices of Her Ladyship\, the Chief Justice
 \, Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo. The Gertrude S. Torkornoo Moot Court
  Competition is a national contest that will bring together participants f
 rom various law faculties across Ghana. This event serves as a platform fo
 r law students to refine their advocacy and litigation skills and prepare 
 them for their future legal careers. The competition is expected to be hig
 hly competitive\, and the personal involvement of the Chief Justice adds a
  unique and significant dimension to the event.
