What the 25-Year Rule Means
This is a senior post, not an entry-level legal job. The ad asks for an LLB and at least 25 years of experience, and that experience must include work in the High Court and the Supreme Court across five areas: Civil, Taxation, Corporate, Company and Banking Law. Experience as a legal consultant, adviser or counsel in public sector bodies, or in reputable private organizations, gets due preference. The ad also says candidates with higher qualification and an excellent academic career will be preferred, so an LLM helps. Candidates with any 3rd division will not be considered.
Who Can Apply
- Pakistani nationals with an LLB (higher law degrees are preferred) and 25+ years of legal experience as described above.
- Lawyers aged 60 or below. The ad does not say on which date age is counted.
- Female candidates are encouraged to apply: PCSIR calls itself an equal opportunity employer.
- Government employees may apply through proper channel (permission from their department).
- Candidates willing to work at Karachi or Peshawar.
Last Date: The 15-Days Rule
The ad does not print a calendar date. It says the form and CV should reach the undersigned within 15 days after publication of the advertisement. The ad was published on 5 November 2026, so 15 days ends around Friday 20 November 2026. Note the wording “should reach”: the envelope must arrive by then, not just be posted. Courier it within the first week, keep the tracking slip, and phone the office to confirm receipt. Check the exact deadline on the official PCSIR notice before you send.
How to Apply, Step by Step
