The Ghana School of Law Students Representative Council (SRC), has launched this year’s Baffour Akoto Moot Court Competition which is organized annually as part of its SRC Week Celebrations.
The competition is to honour the memory and sacrifices made by the late Chief Linguist of the Asante Kingdom, Baffour Osei Akoto who led cocoa farmers in the struggle of a better producer price to better the lives of cocoa farmers.
This year’s edition is under the theme “Leadership, Gender and Disabilities, Corporate Governance: The way forward after legal education.”

The event was chaired by one of Ghana’s celebrated legal personalities, His Lordship Justice Sir Dominic Dennis Adjei, who is a Court of Appeal Judge.
Speaking at the event, he urged the law students to make great use of the knowledge acquired after school and extend leadership to the areas of disability and probably have an impact in the disability act.
Delivering his keynote address, the Agric Minister, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto gave a history about Baffour Osei Akoto and how the Baffour Akoto Moot Court Competition came into being.
According to him, the iconic figure is celebrated at the Ghana Law School following his pursuit of human rights, especially the well-being of farmers, women and people.
The Minister therefore admonished students to make great use of the sacrifice leaders like Baffour Akoto and Mandela made to bring justice and equality to the society.
The SRC President, Mr Wonder Victor Kutor before the closing remarks launched this year’s Competition.
