Abstract
There are very few studies that identify problems with legal education in Pakistan. Almost none compared
problems of legal education in Pakistan with that in the developed world to show where Pakistan is
standing on the score of the standards of legal education. This study is addressing this important gap by
focusing on three important problems of legal education in Pakistan: out-dated curriculum of
undergraduate and postgraduate programs of law in educational institutions of Pakistan; traditional
methods of assessment; and inadequate teaching and learning methods. These problems of legal education
have serious implications for the justice system of Pakistan. Due to the aforementioned problems, lawyers
impart limited knowledge to legal practice. As a result, they cannot contribute to the litigation process
adequately. Same lawyers later become judges. Their limited learning affects the decision-making process
and the administration of justice. Therefore, it is important to examine and evaluate these problems.
Comparing current practices in Pakistan's educational institutions with that in developed countries, this
article critically explains the aforementioned problems and recommends how those problems can be
addressed.
