phd in law in pakistan

University Law College, University of the Punjab, is the finest and oldest seat of legal learning in the country. The University Law College is known as the birth place of the finest legal minds in the subcontinent and has been the epitome of judicial heritage in Pakistan since its inception. A number of eminent bureaucrats, politicians, lawyers and judges of higher and superior judiciary are graduates of the college and continue to serve the country to the best of their abilities. Other than training young legal minds, the college focuses on personality development and grooming of students into responsible citizens.
Law College was established in 1868, fourteen years before the University of the Punjab and has a rich history and culture. It later became one of the constituent Colleges of the University of the Punjab. Law classes were initiated by Anjuman-i-Punjab in 1868 and were taken over by the College in 1870. Initially, the degree was spanned over two years. In 1873 entry test was introduced for admission purposes in the program and in the same year Chief Court allowed the college to hold pleadership Examination. In 1887, passing of intermediate examination was made a prerequisite for admission in the law program. Later that year, three-fourth attendance was made mandatory for appearing in the examination. In 1890, Government of India empowered the college to confer LL.B. and LL.D. degrees. In order to appear in the LL.B. examination, it was necessary for the aspiring candidates to have graduated in Arts and to have passed the intermediate or the Licentiate in the Law examination.
In 1935, College regulations were revised, and the course of instruction for the LL.B. was increased by a year to a span of three years. However, in 1948, regulations were again revised and the course of instruction for the LL.B. degree was reduced once again to two years. In 1964, under the directions of the West Pakistan High Court, the LL.B professional course was extended to three years and in the same year, College started offering two degree courses in Law; B.L. (academic) a degree of two years duration and LL.B. (Legum Baccalaureus) a degree of three years duration. Holders of LL.B. degree were eligible for enrolment as pleaders. In the year 1966 the duration of the LL.B. degree program was converted into two years. However, since 1992-93, three year Bachelor of Law program was re-introduced.
The main building of the College in earlier years were hosted at Katchery Road. In 1978, the college was shifted to the present premises at Quaid-e-Azam Campus. It is worth noting here that Prof. Dr. Shazia N. Qureshi, Principal of Law College, is the first woman principal in the long and rich history of the college. Her appointment is ranked important by both male and female staff members for inculcating values of merit, removal of discrimination against women in the college specifically, and society, generally, it also encourages young women to join the profession.

PhD Dissertation on legal education in Pakistan at Osgoode Hall, Toronto

"Work hard now and you will reap the rewards later"

How do you remember your time at SAHSOL?

As a small department back then, it allowed us as law students to mingle with students of other faculties. We had the faculty that started the program and were very invested in us.

How do you think your time at SAHSOL prepare you for your professional career?

It prepared me in many ways, for research and writing and also for practice.

Class of 2012

"Given that the legal marketplace is extremely saturated, the biggest challenge I have faced is to create your own individual space and attract decent clientele."

We were taught by extremely dedicated and learned professors who became our mentors and shared with us both knowledge and inspiration. Many of the class-mates turned into the best of friends and we made life-long connections.

How do you think your time at SAHSOL prepared you for your career?

The variety of subjects taught during the degree enabled me to broaden my intellectual prespective work well under pressure and build strong foundations in many areas of law.

What is the best career advice you have ever gotten?

Whilst there is no piece of advice that could be universally applicable, for me the most important career advice is that one must work hard and be fully dedicated to the work that they are doing.

Class of 2008

Appointed Registrar at Competition Commission of Pakistan

Umair has recently been promoted as the Registrar at the Competition Commission of Pakistan, where he assists the Commission in its adjudicatory functions and heads the legal department.

Prior to this, Umair was on deputation to the Ministry of Federal Education where as Joint Secretary and Director General Education, he lead on the Federal Government's Ed-tech & STEM initiatives, the national COVID-19 education response and public education service delivery in Islamabad.

He also co-lead on the Teleschool project that received recognition from the Prime Minsiter of Pakistan.

Bastine Law Group, Associate, Houston Texas.

"There is no one trajectory to a successful career. A legal career does not need to follow a traditional path in fact, a law practice greatly benefits from skills and experiences external to it."

Being part of a seminal law program cultivated dynamic and critical thinking.

The multi-disciplinary nature of SAHSOL courses really helped guide my ability to find answers and solutions in creative ways.

Publications

This volume provides a contextual account of Pakistan's constitutional laws and history. It aims to describe the formal structure of government in reference to origins that are traced to the administrative centralisation and legal innovations of colonial rule. It also situates the tide of Muslim nationalism that gave rise to the nation of Pakistan within a terrain of nascent constitutionalism and its associated promises of representation. The post-colonial history of the Pakistani state is charted by reference to succeeding constitutions and the distribution of powers between the major branches of government that they augured. Where conventional histories often suggest that constitutionalism in Pakistan is to be solely understood by reference to a cycle of abidance and rupture, and in the oscillation between military and civilian rule, this volume also accounts for the many points of continuity between regime types. The contours of a broader constitutionalism come to light in the ways in which state power is wielded at different periods and in the range of contests - economic, political and cultural - through which some of this power is sought to be dispersed. Chapters on Rights, Federalism and Islam detail the contextual features of some of these contests and the normative, legal parameters through which they are provisionally settled.

This book examines the relationship between international human rights discourse and the justifi cations for criminal punishment. Using interdisciplinary discourse analysis, it exposes certain paradoxes that underpin the ‘International Bill of Human Rights’, academic commentaries on human rights law, and the global human rights monitoring regime in relation to the aims of punishment in domestic penal systems. It argues that human rights discourse, owing to its theoretical kinship with Kantian philosophy, embodies a paradoxical commitment to human dignity on the one hand, and retributive punishment on the other. Further, it sustains the split between criminal justice and social justice, which results in a sociologically ill-informed understanding of punishment. Human rights discourse plays a paradoxical role vis-à-vis the punitive power of the state as it seeks to counter criminalisation in some areas and backs the introduction of new criminal offences – and longer prison sentences – in others. The underlying priorities, it is argued, have been shaped by a number of historical circumstances. Drawing on archival material, the study demonstrates that the international penal discourse produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century laid greater emphasis on offender rehabilitation and was more attentive to the social context of crime than is the case with the modern human rights discourse.

KARACHI HOSTS KEY WORKSHOP TO STRENGTHEN MARITIME LAW ENFORCEMENT: U.S. AND UNODC BACK PAKISTAN'S EFFORTS AGAINST DRUG TRAFFICKING

Karachi – August 22, 2024: A key Legal Workshop focused on enhancing interagency collaboration for maritime law enforcement has commenced in Karachi. Organized under the project ‘Improved National Response against Drugs and Contraband Trafficking in the Maritime Domain (Phase II),’ funded by the U.S. Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) Pakistan, the workshop supports Pakistan's counternarcotics and maritime law enforcement agencies, including the Anti-Narcotics Force, Pakistan Customs, Pakistan Coast Guards, and Pakistan Maritime Security Agency. The event, which runs from August 19 to 23, was inaugurated by U.S. Deputy Consul General Amy Hood, UNODC Regional Program Coordinator David O’Connell, and PMSA Commander Zeshan Arif, focusing on legal frameworks to intercept vessels involved in drug and contraband smuggling.

Mr. David O’Connell, UNODC Global Maritime Crime Program’s Regional Coordinator, welcomed participants and highlighted UNODC’s close collaboration with the Government of Pakistan in designing and implementing the maritime security project (Phase I).  He emphasized UNODC's holistic approach to supporting Pakistan in tackling drug and crime challenges, both domestically and through international partnerships. "Our efforts align with the Government’s vision to enhance border management, reduce drug supply, and uphold the rule of law, creating a safer environment for the people of Pakistan," he stated.

Deputy Consul General Amy Hood highlighted the complexities and dynamic challenges of the maritime domain for law enforcement agencies worldwide.  She reaffirmed the United States' commitment to supporting Pakistan in enhancing maritime security and combating transnational organized crime.  "We are fortunate to have a range of agencies represented here, and I hope this workshop provides you with the essential tools to fight maritime crime effectively," she said.  Ms. Hood praised UNODC for organizing the workshop and thanked ANF, Pakistan Customs, PCG, PMSA, and relevant ministries for their dedication to maritime security.

Commander Zeshan Arif emphasized Pakistan's critical role as a frontline defense against the narcotic drug flow from Afghanistan, which poses a regional and global security threat.  He noted that despite limited resources and technology, Pakistan is taking decisive policy and operational actions to address the issue. Commander Arif expressed gratitude for the support from UNODC and INL in enhancing the national response to drug and contraband trafficking in the maritime domain.
