A general comment on the Plight of Legal Education in Pakistan
‘In Pakistan, the past fifty years have seen a decline rather than a strengthening of professional standards and academic excellence in legal education. The quality and output of legal education today whether viewed in professional or academic terms is very poor. The result of this process is clear. Pakistani legal education is not producing lawyers, judges, legal scholars, government legal officials and other law-trained personnel.’

‘Pakistan College of Law has emerged as a leader in legal education. It offers enlightened and simulated courses for students the academic staff is dynamic, enthusiastic and committed to both teaching and research. it is a Pakistani Law School that is committed to the ideals of academic excellence
