The conference, which also featured the unveiling of the Society’s official logo, brought together senior government officials, legal practitioners, academics, traditional leaders and law students.

The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, represented President John Dramani Mahama. Speaker of Parliament Alban S. K. Bagbin and Chief of Staff, Dr. Julius Debrah were also among the distinguished guests.

Other attendees included former Attorney-General Betty Mould-Iddrisu, Marrietta Brew, Joyce Bawa Mogtari and eminent members of the legal profession.

The conference also attracted leading legal academics, including Professor Peter Atudiwe Atupare of the University of Ghana School of Law and Professor Ernest Kofi Abotsi of the UPSA Law School.
