COMMITTES OF PROVINCIAL AND

PAKISTAN BAR COUNCIL


Committees are not an optional or extra in bar councils but an essential
part of their structure. Head(s) of the committees and committee
members must work together to ensure the competent running of a
bar councils. This means working towards the agreed aims and
objectives as set out in a bar council's constitution/policy. In order to
set up and work with committees, they will need to think about:
The main role of the committee.
How committees work.
When forming a committee you will need to find people who will be
responsible for the smooth running of the council. Additionally, it could
be most advantageous to invite people with more experience and
specialized knowledge. The main duties of the committee are to ensure
the continuity of the council in terms of enrolment, discipline and
leadership.
Committees in provincial and Pakistan bar councils are almost have
same tasks and purposes, as both have executive committee,
disciplinary committee and enrollment committee. But both provincial
and Pakistan bar councils may make new committees when needed.
