Lawyers in Pakistan Find Local Ally

Lawyers in Pakistan have found an ally in their fight for the restoration of the judiciary – the New York City and State Bar Associations – among the largest, oldest and most prestigious associations of lawyers in the United States.

They are extremely busy and charge by the hour but hundreds of lawyers from law firms across Manhattan took time out to gather on the steps of the New York County Courthouse to protest the arrest and detention of thousands of lawyers and judges under emergency rule in Pakistan.
