These are challenging times, on many fronts. Specifically, courts and the judiciary are under pressure. When democracies tumble, or die, what is the role of courts? What are promising judicial strategies, resilient doctrines, and helpful remedies? We invite you to join a conversation with eminent judges from around the world to address these questions.

 

Justice Mansoor Ali Shah was elevated to the bench at the Lahore High Court in 2009 and after serving as the Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court for almost two years was elevated to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in early 2018. He did his schooling at Aitchison College, Lahore and got his law degree from the University of Cambridge, UK. He also has a Masters in Economics from the University of the Punjab. As a corporate litigator, he was a partner at Afridi, Shah & Minallah and took keen interest in public interest litigation with special focus on environmental issues and sustainable development.
