Seminar: Lawyers urged to ensure supremacy of law

'Lawyers should hesitate in-time studying during case hearings, knowing constitution a lifetime job.'

PESHAWAR:

Lawyers should not fight cases for their clients to win pocket money but to ensure supremacy of law, a senior lawyer, Mian Younas Shah, said on Saturday. He was addressing a seminar titled “Secret of success in legal profession” organised by the Peshawar High Court Bar Council (PHCBA) at the Peshawar High Court.

Shah, 87, who graduated from Lahore Law College in 1942, was warmly welcomed by PHCBA members including senior lawyers and was appreciated for his services.

“Practicing law is a difficult job and required patience as lawyers have to deal people from to all walks of life,” said Shah. He urged lawyers to keep reading law books to enhance their legal vocabulary in order to assist judges in reaching their decision.

He said lawyers should hesitate in-time studying during case hearings, adding that knowing the constitution is a lifetime job. He said he had donated his record book of all the cases he dealt with during his 62 years of practice.
