Jawwad Khawaja (LL.M. ’75) has been appointed Chief Justice of Pakistan. A Supreme Court justice since 2009, Khawaja spent eight years on Pakistan’s Lahore High Court before resigning in protest—the first judge to do so—during the country’s 2007 constitutional crisis. He then led the Law and Policy Department at Lahore University of Management Science. Khawaja has decided many cases involving issues of first impression, and several of his judgments are included in Pakistani law curricula.
