Two LUMS graduates, and now faculty members at the Shaikh Ahmad Hassan School of Law, Ms. Marva Khan, and Ms. Orubah Sattar, founded the Pakistani Feminist Judgments Project (PFJP) with the aim to write alternative judgments for Supreme Court cases, from a feminist legal perspective. The idea behind PFJP is to envisage the different outcomes of various important Supreme Court cases, had a feminist judge written the judgments.

Apart from the authors who will take on the task of rewriting the judgments, the project includes commentators who will highlight the practical difference in jurisprudence when a judgment is re-written from a feminist perspective. These re-written judgments and commentaries shall be published in the form of a book. This exercise of developing feminist jurisprudence through re-writing Supreme Court Judgments is especially necessary in Pakistan - a country where not even a female judge has ever been raised to the Supreme Court, let alone any gender diverse or non-binary person. Now that all authors and commentators are selected, the PFJP has been conducting an online workshop series.
Details of the next three thematic workshops for the contributors are provided below.
