Legal education is generally provided through public sector universities and also by private institutions that follow the curriculum and the standards prescribed by the Higher Education Commission(HEC) in consultation with the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC), a statutory body to regulate legal profession and legal education in Pakistan. The LL.B degree courses are adopted after a strenuous exercise; the courses are proposed through a National Curriculum Review Committee (NCRC) of the HEC in Law. The recommendations of the NCRC are then carefully examined by a joint meeting of the representatives of the universities and the members of the PBC (Legal Education Committee). Various academic boards and bodies of the University then review the finally approved courses before they are ultimately adopted. A consistent effort is made to improve the standards of legal education and the curriculum is reviewed after every three years.

The NCRC of the HEC has last year suggested some changes in the existing curriculum of law. These suggestions have been approved by the Board of Studies in Law and are effective from the current academic year.

The access to Justice programme of Federal ministry of law and justice is implemented through the Asian Development Bank since last seven years in the country, and positive changes and improvements are taking place and are noticeable and seen.

On the other hand the graph of filing of new cases in the courts is increasing very rapidly, due to factors beyond over control. The social factors including increase in population, poverty, migration from rural to urban areas, disorganized urban town planning, distribution of agriculture property, negligence in revenue record , family honors, divorce, dissolution and custody and on the other hand the alarming increase in the crime and lack of preemptive measures etc adds to the already overburden legal system.

The law colleges in the country are playing their role by providing law graduates to be inducted in the legal profession as lawyers and Judges, but unfortunately half of the law graduates do not step into this profession due to certain reasons and the remaining half is now very conveniently joining improvements in their legal studies abroad , specially the UK.

The record shows that out of one hundred graduates passing out every year , only forty join the legal practice and that too throughout the province. We are committed to provide the best education along with legal ethics and discipline. More concentration and emphasis is given to the legal conduct and decorum of the courts.

Any suggestions , improvements and comments are welcome through our e mail. fax or land lines.
