Attorney-General Of Pakistan - A Brief Overview, Umair Ghori

Umair H. Ghori

The legal system of Pakistan represents a fusion of the Shariah law and common law systems. Traditionally, the Pakistani legal system adapted the pre-1947 colonial law for local use.

All the signatories may be credited with the entire opinion (as …
