CHAMBER SPEECH DAY!!!

The Chamber Speech day turned out to be a huge success, despite the bad sound system we had to deal with throughout. Dr J. Williams and Professor Edmund chaired the occasion.

Professor Edmund Ato Kwaw, the Dean of the Faculty of International Relations, Governance and Law expressed his heart felt appreciation towards the executives of the Law Student Union who took their time and effort to plan the event.

The event was anchored by our very own erudite Chidi Opara, who carried the crowd along and ensured humour was in the air.
KUDOUS CLEMENT!!!

Our lovely LSU President encouraged all law students not to shy away from LSU activities and embrace team work. 

T- TOGETHER
E- EVERYONE
A- ACHIEVES
M- MORE
 

Most importantly, team work breeds success which is the main aim of one belonging into a chamber.

The Young ones in Level 100 wowed the crowd, as little was expected from them. Lydia graciously represented the Inner Temple and Mc Donald slayed for the House of Lords.



Other Participants in the competition were;
Abubacar Fofana - Inner Temple (Level 200)
Wisdom Olotu - House of Lords (Level 200)
Cornelia G. Opoku - House of Lords (Level 300)
Addison Perewari - Inner Temple (Level 300)

HOUSE OF LORDS won the bragging rights due to their amazing performance they displayed, even though the margin between House of Lords and Inner temple was merely 2 points.

It wasn’t just a competition but also a guest lecture was delivered by our prestigious Dean on the topic “Who owns the sperm and Ova under Ghanaian Law” which seemed very disturbing at first, because wasn’t it quite obvious we all owned our God given sperm and Ova?

However, the Dean explained what the position of the Common law is when it comes to ownership of sperm, Ova and even Embryos kept in fertility clinics even though strange to we the black culture. He related what culture says and what the white men says which seemed a bit controversial. This stirred up a lot of discussions and suggestions from different lecturers.
In attendance were Professor R.K. Salman, Barr.(Mrs) Enendu, The Dean of Student Affairs; Mr Attakorah, Professor Kwame Agyenim - Boateng  and the Head Librarian.

We were urged, that if in circumstances we happen to be in any law making body, laws should be enacted to make provision for whether a sperm is property or not and not wait till a legal issue arrises before we now try to scribble and solve the matter.
