Department of Law

www.uot.edu.pk Annual Report 2017 31 University of Turbat Introduction The Law Department University of Turbat (School of Legal Education) is only legal institution in Makran Division initiated by University of Turbat. The purpose to start the legal education is to fill vacuum of skilled lawyers in province. The Law Department Uni- versity of Turbat has been established on the special instruction of the Judiciary and pressing demand of the Civil Society to fill the gap of Judiciary due to carnage of 8th August 2016 and Law department was inaugurated by Honorable Chief Justice Balochistan High Court Justice Muhammad Noor Miskanzai on 5th Oct 2017. Difficulties faced by legal education sector in Pakistan have been increased by the fact that unlike other subjects in the field of humanities, law institutions in Pakistan have been unable to promote and establish legal academics and scholars whose primary role include legal research and teaching, with the result that majority of these law institutions/colleges depend upon practicing lawyers to fulfill their teaching needs, people who have neither the time nor are trained in the pedagogy and academic research. This is unfortunate since legal research provides much needed critical discourse and evaluation of legal rules, which most practicing lawyers do not have the time to conduct, but is important to ensure the development of law in the right direction. The legal education is not just about training lawyers, but is used by people who will go on to become political leaders, human right activist, social reformers, legislators legal drafters, jurists, etc. Legal education also plays a vital role in any society. It is essential in promoting awareness about the rights and obligations of citizens and public institutions. Moreover knowing the fact that producing of next competitive generation of lawyer, judges, jurists, legislators, human rights activists and social reformers is a one of the prime responsibility of the Law Schools, University of Turbat already inducted the most talented and Qualified Faculty members after conducting third party evaluation.

32 Annual Report 2017 www.uot.edu.pk University of Turbat The main objective of the department of Law UoT is to nurture the spirit of research, honesty, advocacy, trustworthiness and commitment to the cause of justice. We are devoted to strive for the human dignity, social justice and civil rights through disseminating the knowledge of law.
