Federal Judicial Academy Islamabad
SITUATION VACANT.
The Federal Judicial Academy (FJA)is a body corporate fully funded by the Government of Pakistan. FJA
seeks to enhance the quality of the Judicial System and catalyzed its development to meet current and
emerging expectations and needs of the country and society. FJA is engaged in imparting judicial training and
organizes certain courses on different subjects besides conferences/workshops and symposia each year on a
variety of current legal and judicial topics for serving Judges, Prosecutors and Court Personnel from across the
country. Each program seeks to develop and advance one or more ideas for reforming and strengthening the
judicial system.
While faculty positions at the FJA are also well-compensated and command great prestige in the legal
community, the real attractiveness of this job lies elsewhere. Being on the faculty of the FJA allows one the
singular privilege of having a formative influence on the ideas, ethos and work culture of judges of Pakistan’s
District Judiciary, many of whom will also go on to join the Constitutional Courts. The FJA’s nexus with the
judiciary also ensures that incumbents would have access to ample resources for conducting cutting-edge
research in the field of law and policy in Pakistan; and a moderate teaching load ensures an environment
conducive for focusing design and on research leading to publication.
FJA is seeking suitable candidates from all over Pakistan, for faculty appointments. The candidate shall be well
qualified, with demonstrated high level of expertise in research and teaching law, hardworking, ethical,
