Educating litigants: CJ stresses on awareness programmes
“Merely, wearing a black coat does not make one a lawyer,” he remarked.
KARACHI:
Sindh High Court (SHC) Chief Justice Mushir Alam urged the legal fraternity on Friday to conduct an awareness programme on legal consultation to help the unaware litigants. The clinic committees of the high court, the high court bar association and a private clinic held a three-day eye camp at the SHC premises. CJ Alam and other judges distributed appreciation certificates among the participants. While addressing the awards distribution ceremony, Mushir Alam said that many litigants are running from pillars to the post because of not having any awareness about the laws. “Merely, wearing a black coat does not make one a lawyer,” he remarked.
