I am an Assistant Professor, Faculty Industry Liaison Officer for UCP, Faculty of Law and Managing Editor of the UCP Journal of Law and Legal Education. My teaching areas and research interests include Jurisprudence, International Law, Property Law, Logic & Reasoning and Legal Education. Recently I have developed a keen interest in law & Society research. Recently I have had the opportunity to present my research at the Law and Society in South Asia Workshop 2023.
My studies and devoted learning in law teaching have secured me many strengths. The biggest amongst those is the pragmatic teaching techniques developed over the years through hands-on experience. I have rendered my services as Conference Secretary for the Four International Conferences organized under the auspices of the Faculty of Law, University of Central Punjab in the years 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 consecutively. My devotion as Patron Study Circle at Punjab Law College helped me create research opportunities for students and myself on various subjects from the field of law and politics. In that capacity, I organized many seminars and discussion forums and presented my research on diverse topics. The experience so procured furnishes me with immense guidance for my current research endeavours. I have served as a ‘Teaching Excellence’ trainer at the University of Central Punjab and have trained faculty members from different faculties at the University. In pursuance of my efforts to ameliorate my teaching and research prowess, I frequently attend different training sessions and workshops. So far, I have been through several training sessions on International Humanitarian Law, property laws, constitutional law and Teaching & Research skills to mention a few.
