About
Averroes School of Law
Welcome to the Averroes School of Law, a distinguished institution affiliated with the prestigious University of Peshawar, approved by the Pakistan Bar Council.
Averroes School of Law (ASL) is named after a renowned jurist, philosopher, and physician of Al-Andalus, Averroes known as Ibn Rushd. Born in the city of Córdoba in 1126 – 1198 CE, Averroes rose to distinction as a master of law, reason, and classical philosophy. He stands among the most eminent figures of the Islamic Golden Age.
Message from the Principal
Dear Students and Parents,
I am excited to extend my cordial congratulations to the people of Malakand Division on the establishment of one of the prestigious institutions in the region. Averroes School of Law's wide-ranging approach to legal education ensures you will be equipped with contemporary knowledge and skills necessary to succeed as a successful lawyer and leader. Located in the scenic Swat valley, with modern classrooms and professional mentoring, Averroes fosters an environment where you will be able to realize your full potential. This reminds me of the famous quote by Jerry Seinfeld: “To me, a lawyer is basically the person that knows the rules of the country. We're all throwing the dice, playing the game, moving our pieces around the board, but if there is a problem the lawyer is the only person who has read the inside of the top of the box.”
As Principal of the Averroes School of Law, I ensure everyone that Averroes is the place to trust for developing the intellect, skills, and confidence needed to face the challenges facing Pakistan. Abraham Lincoln once said, “As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man.” At Averroes School of Law, you will learn how to seek diligence as a lawyer.
Once again, I congratulate everyone. We, the management team at Averroes School of Law, are confident that you will thrive at Averroes to realize your full potential. We look forward to welcoming you to Averroes School of Law!
– Riaz Ali Khan
Principal, Averroes School of Law
