Islamabad bar to start verifying the degrees of lawyers
[DAWN] The regulatory authority for lawyers in the federal capital, the Islamabad Bar Council (IBC), has decided to start verifying the educational qualifications of the 3,700 lawyers in the capital.
Oh. Not a drinking establishment. I was confused for a moment..
These lawyers practice in the capital's sessions courts, special courts, tribunals and at Islamabad High Court (IHC).

In the past, the Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Bar Council served as a regulatory authority for Islamabad-based lawyers. After the establishment of the IHC, in 2012, Islamabad Bar Association President Syed Javed Akbar initiated a process for verifying the degrees of lawyers but could not complete this task during his one-year term in office.

Mr Akbar told Dawn that it was an old demand by professional lawyers, that the degrees of those practicing in the field be verified.

"I thought the task of verifying educational credentials could be completed in three or four months. However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
I started the process in September 2012 and by January 2013, I had only managed to collect 1,000 degrees from 3,700 lawyers," he said.

He claimed that there was pressure from certain groups who did not want him to open this 'Pandora's box'.
