How CoCounselor handles Ghanaian law
Ghana's laws come from the 1992 Constitution, Acts of Parliament, older laws such as PNDC Laws that remain in force, court decisions and, in some areas like family and land, customary law.
When you select Ghana in the app, CoCounselor searches Ghanaian sources first and tells you which law it is relying on. If a question turns on customary practice or a fact only a court can decide, it says so and points you to a qualified Ghanaian lawyer.
