Lawyers and Judges From Ghana Learn About ADR Lawyers and judges from Ghana participated in an eight-day alternative dispute resolution program this summer in Sacramento. The California State University, the Sacramento Center for African Peace & Conflict Resolution (CAPCR), in collaboration with the Sacramento County Bar Association and the Ghana Association of Chartered Mediators and Arbitrators (GHACMA), with a grant from the U.S. Department of State Office of Citizen Exchange, jointly implemented the project designed to train prospective ADR trainers for the Ghana judiciary and public institutions. The main purpose of the program is to strengthen internal capacity for institutionalization of ADR in Ghana's legal system and community, with activities in U.S and Ghana. Ten people (2 senior judges and 8 lawyers representing 5 public institutions in Ghana) participated in the 4-week program in the U.S. The U.S. phase of the program included a workshop in Sacramento, followed by ADR site visits and field observations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Cambridge, and Washington D.C. One of the highlights of the program was a luncheon at the Clarion Hotel on July 26.
