"This book is based on substantive research and includes papers contributed by prominent legal scholars. It looks at the role of the judiciary in society and discusses different problems encountered in the course of administering justice in Pakistan. The issues addressed include alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, public interest litigation, and certain historical aspects of justice. It presents suggestions, measures and remedies to improve the present system of justice and shows how alternative dispute resolution mechanisms can solve some of the problems faced by litigants.
