Naveed Ahmend. “The Rule Of Law–A Substratum Of Justice: The Lawyers’movement And Its Impacts On Legal & Political Governance Of Pakistan.” Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education, vol. 8, no. 2 (2012): 11-21.
The lawyers’ movement in Pakistan serves as a critical force for restoring the rule of law and reinforcing judicial independence in a context of democratic backsliding. By rejecting dictatorship and advocating for justice and peaceful order, the movement has significantly influenced political conduct and created a platform to challenge corruption. Its efforts aim to rebuild public trust in the judiciary and promote internal governance reforms, ultimately strengthening democratic resilience. Rooted in the principle that law exists to preserve freedom and protect individuals from arbitrary power, the lawyers’ movement exemplifies the vital role civil society plays in safeguarding democratic institutions.
