Islamabad school of law was established when the LLB Hons programme of University of London started in Pakistan. ISL as one of the pioneer institutions teaching the programme took the commitment to teach the reputable degree from the highly esteemed university and gradually built a reputation of a quality institution with highest teaching standards. Our results reflect highest academic standards. I am proud to be associated with the University of London Law programme since 1990 and for contributing in the careers of many successful lawyers.

26 Testimonials

Naima Shahid I started my journey of studying law at ISL where I successfully completed my LL.B (Hons) from University of London. In addition to its impact on my intellectual development, ISL also impacted my non-cognitive skills which aided in both, my personal and professional life. The Institute helped me secure a place in three leading Universities of the UK for BPTC and has played a pivotal role in my journey of becoming a Barrister.

Emaan Shah Being a student of ISL was one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm convinced to say that ISL made my law journey much easier, enjoyable, and memorable. Teachers and friends here are more than a family to me. The vast experience I earned in ISL will help me leading my career in the best way. Time has been flying by and it's hard to believe it has been part of ISL for 3 years now.

Maliha Arshad With it’s highly qualified faculty, who acquire vast legal expertise, ISL undoubtedly strives to be the best institution in the twin cities for those willing to opt for the UOL external law program. My experience so far has been academically enriching and I take immense pride in being taught by Sir Sami, who’s been in the field for decades and holds a solid command on the subject. His expert way of teaching and dedication are absolutely matchless.

Ayesha Ansari Beginning my time at the university was inevitably challenging, but I learned that the more you invest, the more rewarding university becomes. The teachers especially Sir Sami have created a friendly and approachable environment for students to engage in discussions. The knowledge, guidance and encouragement offered by my teachers has been valuable. ISL has provided us with great academic support and I can genuinely say I have loved every minute and feel greatly privileged to have had the chance to study here.

27 Testimonials

Rabab Kazmi I’ve been studying at ISL for a year now and it’s surely been an amazing year! The environment here is really friendly, especially the teachers who are willing to help us at any time. Graduating from high school and getting into university can be difficult for some students but with Sir Muttalib and Sir Sami’s extra help and guidance, nothing seems hard. Hardwork is one of the most valuable keys to success and in ISL it is practiced thoroughly.

Rabia Aziz My experience at ISL has been a constant growth process, both academically and personally. I feel incredibly fortunate to have a teacher like Sir Sami, who being the epitome of knowledge himself, has the most amazing way of conveying it. His efforts are absolutely praiseworthy and are evident by the results produced by his students. My school mates are always supportive, cordial and ready to help. I’ll keep my time at ISL fondly and dearly as a memory, lifelong.

Kainat Noor Islamabad School of Law has been an exceptionally positive experience for me in my University of London LLB International programme journey. The institute has enriched my expertise professionally by providing the best and up to date resources available; helping me break the glass ceiling to attain an insight of the practical legal world. Acceptance of diversity, tireless and dedicated efforts of the teachers, and the door to endless oppor- tunities is what makes the institute a phenomenal one.

Javeria Farukh ISL has proven to be one of the best decisions I've made academi- cally. My experiences here so far have been amazing, with the learning made better through the help of some exceptional teach- ers, clearing out all your concepts. I have met some of the most amazing people through this place in these two years and it has made me want to achieve the unachievable. Looking forward to an amazing third year!

This kind of an environment is precisely what makes it stand out in terms of supporting student learning.

29 Alumni Success stories

Studying this course with the UOL has broadened my horizon and has brought a positive change in my personality. It has made me more confident, intellectual and open-minded. UOL gives you a flexible study option; you can do a law course that is globally recognised while having the comfort of your own home country. ISL and it’s teachers were a huge support system during my LLB Programme. They made sure each and every student understood the basics of law which later helped me during my postgraduate studies.

Amna Abbas. LLB Hons (2008) InternshipsInternships andand Jobjob Placements

The institution also makes arrangements for students to gain work experience at various law firms and corporate entities. While focusing on the interest of students in a specific subject area, we offer them internship in law firms specialising in those areas. For example, if a student is interested in criminal litigation, we try to get him an internship in a law firm exclusively practising and specialising in criminal litigation, hence enabling him to have a first-hand experience in a subject of his/her choice.

Our alumnus plays a strong role in getting these internships and job placements. Numerous students after completion of their studies have or are offering their services in reputable organizations and law firms such as: United Nations, USAID, Shell Pakistan, Caltex, Attock Oil Refinery, British Petroleum, Orient Petroleum, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, Pakistan Tobacco Company Limited, PTCL, Mobilink, U-Fone, Telenor, Nokia Pakistan, National Accountability Bureau, Office of the Attorney General of Pakistan, Office of the Advocate General of Punjab, Hafeez Pirzada Law Associates, Mandviwalla and Zafar Law Associates, Aitzaz Ahsan Law Associates, Wasim Sajjad Law Associates, Kundi and Kundi Law Associates, Rizvi, Isa, Afridi and Angels Law Associates, Orr Dignam, Azam Chaudhry Law Associates, Qureshi and Samdani Advocates, and Qazi and Hussain Law Associates. Furthermore, a number of our students have joined the Civil Service of Pakistan or pursued a successful career in Politics and have become members of the National and Provincial Assemblies.
