Book excerpt: This work covers practice and procedure in the High Courts, the Regional Tribunals, the circuit courts, the circuit tribunals, the district courts and the community tribunals in Ghana. The author elucidates the structures of these institutions, and the relationships between them. He stresses the importance of the district courts, and community tribunals which remain for the most part unrecognised - undeservedly so, he maintains, since they form the building blocks of the Ghanaian legal system and a training ground for the country's lawyers. He discusses the role of the magistrate and the need for better magisterial guidance to make these courts effective.
