“The more peaceful a society is, the more prosperous and stable it becomes… if we are looking for prosperity in this country, which I
                         believe we all do. If we are looking for peace and stability, then we should invest in justice”.

                         The Chief Justice further advised that for a society to be more peaceful, the outcome of dispute resolutions must be accepted. “Everybody
                         must know the rules and work with them. Without the rules, there can be no justice”. The Chief Justice made these remarks on the second
                         and last day of the Enhanced Chief Justice’s Mentoring Programme, which took place in the Supreme Court of Ghana.

                         The six participating schools in the first ever ‘Enhanced Chief Justice’s Mentoring Programme’ were St Mary’s Senior High School, Tema
                         Senior High School, Chemu Senior High Technical School, SOS-Herman Gmeiner International College, Accra High School and Presbyterian
                         Boys’ Senior High School.

                    The Honourable Lady Chief Justice informed the audience that it is her intention to establish a National Justice/Law Quiz in the coming years to
                     increase public understanding of the law, and called for support from the Ghana Education Service and corporate Ghana, to make it a reality.

                     She stressed that passing on the knowledge and understanding of law to the youth would have rebound benefits for the society.

                    The event drew a distinguished audience including Judges from the Superior and Lower courts, Lawyers, School Heads and Administrators.
