Top 7 best law schools in Ghana: 2026 rankings 07.05.2026

Ghana's legal education system is undergoing significant reforms, including the abolition of the Ghana School of Law entrance exam and its replacement with a National Bar Examination. This change, driven by the Legal Education Reform Bill passed on March 26, 2026, aims to broaden access to the legal profession by allowing accredited universities to offer professional legal training. The 2026 rankings, based on EduRank's research data which analyzes academic publications and citations, identify the University of Ghana as the leading law school. Other institutions like Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Cape Coast, University for Development Studies, and University of Professional Studies also feature in the top schools, indicating growing competition and scholarly output within the country's legal education landscape. This reform addresses the previous bottleneck where many LLB graduates could not enter the profession due to limited capacity at the Ghana School of Law.
