  • Pro Bono Practices and Opportunities in Pakistan1 I. Introduction the Pro
    Pro Bono Practices and Opportunities in Pakistan 1 I. Introduction The pro bono environment in Pakistan is nascent, but is growing gradually. At present, Pakistan has a two-pronged structure for legal aid i.e. under the Pakistan Bar Council Free Legal Aid Rules, 1999 and District Legal Empowerment Committee (Constitution & Function) Rules, 2011. While the regulatory framework is present, there remains a strong need for further action amongst the legal community - there is a serious underutilization of funds allocated to institutions and committees responsible for providing legal aid, which in turn demonstrates a lack of will and resolve. The gap left by lack of implementation of the legal aid framework at a government level is to some extent filled by local and international non- governmental organizations, as well as a handful of domestic law firms, which offer legal services to the country’s underserved populations and are engaged in direct representation and broader reform work. II. Overview of Pro Bono Practices (a) Professional Regulation 1. Describe the laws/rules that regulate the provision of The practice of law in Pakistan is primarily legal services? governed by the Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Act of 1973, last amended on 01 June 2018 (the " Bar Councils Act "). 2 The Bar Councils Act established the Pakistan Bar Council, as well as the four provincial bar councils, namely the Punjab Bar Council, the Sindh Bar Council, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council and the Baluchistan Bar Council (together, the " Provincial Bar Councils ") 3 and a bar council for the Islamabad Capital Territory, namely the Islamabad Bar Council.

  • The 18Th Amendment in the 1973 Constitution Fakhr-Ul-Islam by the Chief Justice in the Above Mentioned Cases, the Patience of Military Dictator Came to Its Brim
    The 18 th Amendment in the 1973 Constitution Fakhr-ul-Islam ∗ Abstract Comparing with the 37 year checkered constitutional history (1973- 2010), the first decade of 21 st Century, brought some hope for Pakistan. That was adoption of 18th Constitutional Amendment. It was a damage-control exercise which was proposed by an All Party Parliamentary Committee (APPC). To what extent, the 18th Constitutional Amendment restored the original constitution and what are its salient features, is the subject of this paper. Defects found in the 18th Amendment created a head on collision between Parliament and judiciary. However, these were subsequently rectified through the 19 th Amendment passed after few months of the previous bill. Keywords: Constitution, Amendment, Parliamentary, Pakistan An Eventful Year: A Prelude to Unanimous Amendment The year 2007 proved to be decisive in shaping up political and constitutional contours in Pakistan. Musharraf’s clash with judiciary, assassination of Benazir Bhutto and atmosphere of political conciliation in the parliament after 2008 election, paved the way for unanimity on 18 th Constitutional Amendment. Like other dictators, General Pervez Musharraf was scared of judiciary. He wanted to tame it so that he could smoothly implement his agenda. Apart from removing judges of superior courts on the pretext of not taking oath under his Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO), he changed eight chief justices during 1999-2007. 1 Nevertheless Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, a hard nut, refused to give in. Justice Iftikhar had taken many sensitive cases for hearing in the Supreme Court. They included Missing Persons Case, Privatization of Karachi Steel Mills case and Construction of Golf Course at a children Park in Islamabad.
