Practical exercise

Sit in on a public court hearing

Most Pakistani courts are open to the public. You will plan and attend one short visit to a session at the District and Sessions Court in your city, take notes, and write a reflection. Ninety minutes including travel.

Sit in on a public court hearing

Stretch

Repeat the visit at a different level once: a small claims forum, a banking ombudsman hearing, or a National Assembly committee in session if you can travel to Islamabad. Each level reveals a different face of the system.

A Google Doc courtroom-visit-citydate with notes from the hearings and a one-page reflection. Optionally, a sketched diagram of the courtroom layout.
