Why it holds up

Answers you can check, not trust.

Ghana has a deep common-law tradition under the 1992 Constitution, but its authority is not always easy to reach. The Ghana Law Reports have suffered long publication gaps, many significant judgments circulate unreported, and the commercial databases that fill the void are subscription-only — so verifying a proposition can take far longer than forming it.

LexChat searches Ghanaian sources first: reported decisions of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court, alongside the statute book. It reasons only over what it retrieved, and every answer arrives pinned to citations you can open, so you can read the court's own words instead of trusting a summary.

The court system

Ghana's courts, ready to query.

01

Supreme Court of Ghana.

The apex court, with final appellate jurisdiction and exclusive original jurisdiction over interpretation of the 1992 Constitution. Its rulings bind every other Ghanaian court.

02

Court of Appeal.

The intermediate appellate court, hearing appeals from the High Court and Regional Tribunals. A large share of Ghana's practically useful precedent is settled at this level.

03

High Court.

A superior court of unlimited original jurisdiction, organised into specialised divisions such as commercial and land. Most reported first-instance Ghanaian authority starts here.

How it works

From question to authority in three steps.

01

Ask in plain language.

Describe the issue the way you would to a colleague — no query syntax, no database codes, no guessing at keywords.

02

Retrieval before reasoning.

LexChat searches Ghanaian sources first, and reasons only over what it actually found.

03

Citations you can open.

Answers arrive pinned to decisions and provisions. Open the source, confirm the holding, and cite it with confidence.
