Law Society
The Law Society Pakistan (TLSP) is a registered independent not-for-profit, nongovernmental, advocacy, capacity building and legal aid development organization working since its inception in 2010. In winter of 2010, a group of reform-minded lawyers from the Karachi Bar Association decided to found The Law Society based on the belief that judicial reform must come from the bottom up rather than the top down. This idea was gleaned from the lawyers’ experience working on the ineffectual Judicial Reform. After restoration of Judiciary 2008 in Pakistan, the lawyers came to see that the dream of judicial reform could only become reality by combining the power of civil society to push for change. As such, these lawyers gathered and united the power of the people, giving birth to The Law Society.
