Our justice system is grappling with many issues having tremendous impact on the performance of justice sector institutions. The Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan ensures quick and inexpensive justice to all segments of society without any discrimination and no one can deny the fact that this constitutional commitment cannot be fulfilled unless the perennial and decade old issues hindering the process of dispensation of justice are addressed. The Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan is mandated to suggest law reforms to make our legal system more responsive to such concerns and formulate efficient and workable policies for strengthening the system of administration of justice. Suggesting law reforms to foster innovations for the benefit of litigants is a critical task and I feel pride that the Commission is performing this fascinating and challenging job.

  • Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Act, 1973
    Pakistan Legal Practitioners & Bar Councils Rules, 1976______________________________1 PREFACE I am delighted to write the preface of this latest edition of the Legal Practitioners & Bar Councils Act, 1973 and the Rules made thereunder, which is an official publication of the Pakistan Bar Council. The last edition was published in 1989 when, for the first time, the details of original tests of all those provisions, which were either omitted or amended, from time to time, were placed at the footnotes, to facilitate making comparison between the original texts of such provisions with amended ones. For compiling and publishing the last edition strenuous efforts were made by Mr. Muhammad Arshed, Secretary, Pakistan Bar Council which are acknowledged with appreciation. In view of number of amendments made in different Rules and enactment of some new Rules by the Pakistan Bar Council since 1989, it was thought appropriate to publish the new edition. While updating this edition efforts have been made to incorporate in it all the relevant amendments made so far. This is, therefore, an authentic version of the Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Act and the Rules made by the Pakistan Bar Council, thereunder. It is hoped that this publication will prove useful to all concerned. (Abdul Hakeem Khan H.

  • The Legal Framework to Inculcate CPD in Pakistan
    The Legal Framework To Inculcate CPD In Pakistan By: Ahmad Nazir Warraich I- INTRODUCTION II- CURRENT LEGAL FRAMEWORK III- INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES IV- SUGGESTED CHANGES IN THE LAW AND RULES IN PAKISTAN. V- CONCLUSION. INTRODUCTION Continuous professional development (CPD), is the ongoing training of a professional throughout his or her career. It is separate and distinct from the original degree course and professional or vocational training which is often mandated at the start of the career. The purpose of CPD is “.. the maintenance and enhancement of a lawyer's or paralegal's professional knowledge, skills, attitudes and professionalism throughout the individual's career. It is a positive tool that benefits lawyers and paralegals and is an essential component of the commitment they make to the public to practice law or provide legal services competently and ethically”. The professionals are required to maintain and improve their skill and competence through such periodic systematized trainings. This is a well established practice in various professions all over the world. In Pakistan, to become a lawyer, a person has to do bachelors and get a law degree. The LL.B course is designed to impart the minimum necessary knowledge of the law of the land to would be lawyers so as to help them practice the profession. In addition the six months training course is meant to provide some bare minimum skills necessary for practicing the vocation. However, this education and training alone, is inadequate to provide all the skills and necessary knowledge required by lawyers to practice this noble profession. It is because of this that in many countries of the world, professional development is an ongoing process.
