Addressing an event here earlier today, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah emphasised that a new strategy is needed to improve the country’s judicial system, which he likened to the nation’s “mother” and its pride.
“I urge everyone, including [lawyers’ community], to do their bit in strengthening the judiciary. We are here to solve people’s problems and we [must continue doing so] in this noble profession,” he said.
