This book is an indispensable and worthy companion. It is a single-source textbook that discusses everything the lawyer, judge, law student and lay client needs to know about the steps and procedure in civil litigation in the Circuit and High Courts. It is written in easy and clear language, follows a simple chronology and it is practice-oriented to aid the active practitioner as well as the in-house Counsel. The author provides the reader with a simplified rendition of the court rules and decisions from leading cases, as well as reference sources for further reading. She also provides several relevant precedents to serve as practical guide for drafting court documents. 

The important themes of the book analyze how a case is filed in court up to the application for directions stage, where the case is ready for trial (including the use of ADR methods in resolving cases); the procedure from trial up to judgment; and the processes for executing court judgments. The different applications parties may file in a case are discussed, as well as various procedure for filing specific cases such as defamation, enforcement of human rights, maritime actions, enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards, and so forth. Appeals are discussed and so are applications for judicial review.

The many “firsts” of this book.

This is a ground-breaking event which has not happened since Ghana's Judicature Act of 1876. In Ghana, this is the first time we are seeing a book on Civil Procedure that comes complete with the rules, cases, commentary and most importantly, precedents. As if these have not established enough firsts, this is the first authoritative book on Civil Procedure written exclusively by a female lawyer. And guess what, even the look and feel of the book is nothing that we have seen before in legal circles.

"The Handbook on Civil Procedure & Practice in Ghana", it contains about 1,197 pages of concise representation of the court rules that walks you through the lifecycle of civil litigation. I dare say it's the first of its kind written by a female lawyer ????????

????????It was indeed an honor and privilege to be invited to the book launch of 'The Handbook on Civil Procedure & Practice in Ghana' by Madam Francisca S. Boateng ESQ, which took place on September 8, 2023. This comprehensive handbook, encompassing rules, cases, commentary, and precedents, promises to be an invaluable resource.

Madam Francisca's vision for this book, as she eloquently said and I quote "This book introduces a concise, straightforward and easy to read source of material on Civil Procedure. The aim of the book is to introduce law students early in their studies both at the degree and professional course levels to the procedure in Civil litigation. This will help to demystify the subject of Civil Procedure and make it more interesting to students and serves as a quick reference point for lawyers in practice"

I am definitely going to get a copy for my perusal✍️

I was deeply inspired by her words, and I am committed to studying diligently, as she encouraged me to do????????
