Program

Pre-Service Training

In pre-service training emphasis is laid on the basic skills

required by trainees in the field immediately after leaving the

Academy. It includes judgment/order writing, management of the

court staff and management of various types of cases. The laws

used most frequently by subordinate courts are also taught in the

Academy.

In-Service Training

In-Service training is given when the trainees are either

promoted or posted to different positions. For instance, in-service

training is given to senior civil judges when they get promoted as

Additional District & Sessions Judges. The training covers

subjects such as administration of justice, accounts, case

management and administration of courts under the trainees. In-

service training is also given when District & Sessions Judges are

posted, for example, as Banking Judges, Judges of Accountability

Courts, Judges of Terrorism Courts, Judges of Anti-Corruption

Courts etc.


8


Capacity Building Training

The need for capacity building of judicial officers stems

from the inadequate number of judges/courts as compared with the

pendency of cases. As per international standards, there should be

much greater number of courts for speedy disposal of cases.

Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, this is not possibe.

Hence capacity building of the existing judicial officers has been

initiated to increase efficiency.

Short Specialized Courses

Short specialized courses are offered by specialists in

different laws and subjects such as Forensic Science,DNA,

Communication Skills, Balistics, for which judicial officials and

lawyers require greater expertise. Laws which are being taught in

short specialized courses pertain to for e.g.money laundering,

cyber crimes, intellectual property, environmental law etc.

Workshops & Seminars

Workshops and seminars are held on specific

topics/subjects which are need of the time. In the past, special

workshops and seminars were held on Court Reporting to which

members of the print and electronic media were invited. A special

seminar was also held on the topic of Mens Rea with particular

reference to the mental health of the Pakistani society. Specialists

from USA and Europe conducted a two-day workshop on this

topic. Many such workshops take place in the Academy.


9


Teaching Methodology

Lectures and class room instructions are aimed at preparing

trainees for quick and proper dispensation of justice whether at the

stage of investigation, prosecution, trial and/or the final judgment

by teaching:-

Law subjects which are not taught in law

schools/colleges but are required for dispensation of justice.

Instruction through case law is emphasized.

Judgment/ Order /Evidence Writing.

Consideration of pleadings and appreciation of

evidence.

Case management.

Court staff management.

Mock Trial

Mock trials are organized and conducted by participants in

pre-service training courses of different levels which gives them

confidence to handle cases when they are on the job.

In civil matters, the participants are involved right from

drafting of pleadings, passing of interlocutory orders, framing of

issues, recording of evidence and its evaluation and judgment

writing. Similarly, in criminal cases, the participants are actively

involved in a hypothetical cases to deal with physical remands,

taking of cognizance, bails, indictment, recording of evidence,

statement of the accused, appraisal of evidence, conclusion of trial

and judgment writing. Besides imparting related skills, the

participants are also imparted instructions in mannerism and legal

ethics.

for class/group discussions and arguments for and against the

issues.


10


Study Tours/Visits

Training) and knowledge, the Academy arranges visits to

renowned hospitals such as Mayo Hospital, King Edward Medical

mortem and various aspects are explained on the spot by the

medical officers. It is also taught by the doctors how a Medical

Report is prepared and what are the different stages of preparation

of Medical Report. Furthermore, it is also explained as to how a

Academy

examination whether objective type or narrative. This

methodology is adopted because Teahcer is the best person who

knows what he has taught and what the participants/trainees

should know. He, thus, is also able to jude the extent of learning

succeeded in most Western countries, because, it not only tests

the participants/students, but it also tests the ability of
