Lawyer of the Year

By jlutz99

ADVERTISEMENTS

The National Law Journal (subscription required) has selected Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as its Lawyer of the Year. The article appears in the December 12th issue and is titled "Inspiration in a Troubled Land"  Here's an excerpt:

Chaudhry, the chief justice of Pakistan who was dismissed from office by President Pervez Musharraf after the imposition of emergency rule, has been a strong voice for the preservation of the rule of law in Pakistan ? one of the United States' key allies in the war on terror.

Though currently held under house arrest, Chaudhry has spoken out against emergency rule and has inspired thousands of his lawyer-brethren to protest in the streets in their traditional black suits and ties. He has become an international symbol of an independent judiciary and of resistance to the excesses of military rule. Hundreds of attorneys have also turned out to protest on his behalf in cities across the country.
