Islamabad: Supreme Court judge Jawwad S. Khawaja on Friday said that trainings and refresher courses helped judicial officers to update their legal and judicial knowledge, acquire new concepts in law and improve analytical skills.
Delivering the concluding address at the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA), here for newly recruited Civil Judges -cum-Judicial Magistrates from Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Justice Khawaja said that the knowledge and information imparted to them (trainee judges) would substantially add to their practical knowledge once they were in the field.
He said that the need for imparting training to the judicial officers with a view to improving performance and efficiency could not be over-emphasized.
He stressed the need for continuing and on-going programmes of pre-service and in-service training for judicial officers.
Regarding submission of the trainee judges for enhancement in the training duration he opined: “I do agree that six-week training course was not enough for the newly appointed judges.” The High Court Chief Justices have to decide to spare the young young judges for long durations keeping in view workload in the courts.
Justice Khawaja gave away certificates to the trainee judges from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
