The 2024 Ghana Qualifying Rounds of the Jessup Competition is scheduled to occur from 12-16 February at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).

Jessup Ghana 2024 is poised to become the biggest National Qualifying Rounds in Ghana since Ghana first participated in 1977.

Ten law faculties from the following institutions: University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Mountcrest University College, Kings University College, Central University College, University of Professional Studies Accra, University of Cape Coast, Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Wisconsin International University College, and Ghana School of Law are diligently preparing to vie for the prestigious title of National Champions in this moot competition.

The Philip C. Jessup Moot Competition stands as the world's preeminent Moot Court Competition, drawing participation from about 700 teams representing approximately 100 nations annually. Revered as the "World Cup of International Law," it is also the world's oldest Moot Court Competition exclusively dedicated to International Law. This competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice. The 2024 Jessup case concerns traitors and crooks. Participating institutions will argue on issues relating to the right to political expression, statelessness, the right to a nationality and the scope of the United Nations Security Council’s authority in the pacific settlement of disputes.

Winners of the Ghana National Rounds will represent Ghana at the 2024 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition in Washington DC.

We extend our best wishes to all institutions as they prepare to showcase their legal expertise.
