The legal profession, as a career choice, has been attracting more and more people over the years. In Pakistan, the legal education is regulated by the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) and the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Pakistan is one of the many countries which have a particular set of rules under which legal education is imparted, Pakistan Bar Council Legal Education Rules (PBCLER) 2015. In 2007, the Supreme Court of Pakistan delivered a historic judgment that led to the improvement of legal education based on a petition filed by the PBC. Pursuant to the views expressed in the judgment based on PBC's considerations, the PBCLER 2015 was designed and implemented. However, there have been a lot of concerns raised about these rules, especially with regard to legal education in Pakistan. In line with this, the current paper aims to analyze these rules by first identifying the strengths and weaknesses of these rules with regards to the quality of legal education. This analysis is supported by responses provided by selected respondents including members of the legal education committee of PBC, members of HEC and academicians. The paper concludes by making some recommendations for improvement of these rules.
