The programmes for higher degrees in law are not fully organized. Only a few public sector
universities offer Masters Degree in Law. These programmes differ from university to university.
PULC is offering an LL.M degree and has also started a PhD programme. The University of
Peshawar is offering an LL.M. programme only but has recently prepared courses for Ph.D. degree programme. Karachi University is offering only an LL.M degree programme. The International Islamic University, Islamabad is offering an LL.M in Shari’a.
The NCRC in Law of HEC has prepared guidelines and courses for an LL.M. degree programme
which have been circulated to all the universities for comments. These recommendations are based on the HEC Minimum Quality Criteria for M. Phil./Ph.D. level studies in Pakistani Universities. Legal research amongst the faculty members and students is non-existent. In almost all institutions imparting legal education, students are not exposed to any kind of research and legal writing. In most of the public sector institutions, there is no full-time faculty. The research culture is missing and no genuine or quality research is carried out. Only two public sector universities are publishing legal research journals, which are further not HEC recognized/indexed.
