Pakistan is a country in which the situation of justice is poor. One of the reasons of that is the weak education system. Apart from that there is no proper training of young lawyers and judges in most parts of the country. Another aspect is the increasing hatred between lawyers and judges especially in the district judiciaries.. The following training was a very positive step in removing such gaps in the legal fraternity.
Federal Judicial Academy Islamabad is famous as the training institute of Judges in Pakistan. Most of the Judges in the district judiciaries usually get chances of training in this academy. One of the positive steps was taken by Federal Judicial Academy in coordination with Islamabad Bar Association to train young lawyers along with judges.
It is the group photo of participants of the training. In this picture some of the prominent High Court Lawyers are Salman Yousaf Khan (Golra), Jamshaid Arshad Shah, Malik Zakaullah Khan, Shahid Hussain Jasra, Raja Shiraz Ahmad Janjua and Wasif Shafiq. While Some of the Prominent Judges include Raja Farrukh Ali Khan, Shaista Khan Kundi, Riffat Mahmood Khan, Mrs. Sanam Bukhari, Amir Aziz and Hadayat Khan.
In February 2014 Salman Yousaf Khan, a prominent member of Islamabad Bar Association was invited to be part of this training session. All the participants who were mostly young lawyers and judges gained valuable knowledge during the training session from some of the top experts of various niches of law in Pakistan.
In this picture Raja Shiraz Ahmad Janjua on the extreme left, besides him is Salman Yousaf Khan (Golra), Ex-Candidate for Member National Assembly, then Jamshaid Arshad Shah, Advocate High Court and finally Malik Zakaullah Khan, Advocate High Court.
In the end certificates were distributed to the participants by Justice Saqib Nisar who is a senior judge of Supreme Court of Pakistan. Salman Yousaf Khan (Golra) also received his certificate of participation.
The participant lawyers and judges appreciated the efforts of Islamabad Bar Association and Islamabad Judiciary for bringing up such opportunities for young lawyers. Hope the same will continue in the times to come to meet the ends of justice.
Salman Yousaf Khan is also founder of a NGO known as The Pleaders Trust. He offers legal awareness sessions for people from all walks of life. If you wish to hire him as a resource person for your events, feel free to contact at thepleaders@gmail.com
