Today I had a chance to observe the court of Justice Jawwad Hassan while awaiting my appearance in one of the cases. Fortunately, I also got to witness an interesting and intriguing initiative taken up by Justice Jawwad Hassan. He had called two judges from the UK as “Observer Judges”, a practice which is common in the UK but not in Pakistan. In this practice, esteemed judges from other courts come to observe a certain courtroom and share their remarks accordingly. I’m amazed at this positive initiative as it allows not only constructive criticism among the judges on how to improve but also provides a chance to develop quality jurisprudence. More importantly, it serves as a stepping tool for creating a learning environment for all the judges. I hope this practice becomes more common in Pakistan.
