THE
PAKISTAN
LAW REVIEW.
WE
are very glad to welcome the first number of
a
new law review from
Pakistan. Significantly it carries the general title “Justice and the Common
Man,” and the whole issue convinces
us
that those who are responsible for
the policy of the review are persuaded of the need for
a
moral basis in the
administration of justice. The Editorial Board are members of the Sind
Muslim Law College at Karachi, which is evidently
a
lively and enterprising
school of law.
Among the contents of an interesting number which is by no means confined
to the discussion of technical legal problems may be noted in particular
a
verbatim copy of the Objectives Resolution adopted by the Pakistan Con-
stituent Assembly as the basis for the new Pakistan Constitution. It has the
strong religious and ethical tone which one would expect in
a
predominantly
Muslim State. To this is appended
“
Thoughts on our Constitutional Problems
”
and some addresses given
at
the Hyderabad Bar Conference, which strike
a
similar note. One cannot help also appreciating the obvious respect and
affection which these Pakistani lawyers have for the common law and its method
of
approach to juristic problems. Such an article
as
Mr. Brohi’s
“
The Hearsay
Rule and Pakistan Evidence Act,” could only have been written by one
who has absorbed the common law attitude towards the problems
of
evidence.
One is glad to notice that Mr. Brohi has become Advocate-General of Sind.
And how valuable it
is
that one of our own eminent judges, Sir Henry Wynn-
Parry, should be able to visit Pakistan and give the colourful and interesting
address an the “Customs and Traditions of the English Bar,” which is here
reproduced.
We of
The Modern
Lare,
Review
wish long life and prosperity
to
The
Pakistan Law Remew.

IT
is indeed a treat for
a
reviewer to meet a book which he can unreservedly
praise as cheap. Although this book is in paper covers it is well printed on
reasonably good paper and
is
amazingly good value for
Is.
The author, who
will be well known to mast of our readers, has succeeded admirably in packing
a great deal of useful information into his
90
pages and in ventilating his views
on the defects of our present divorce law. The book may be cordially recom-
mended to the lay public for whom it is primarily intended, and will
also
repay perusal by lawyers.
