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.
A towering intellect of his time, Averroes served with distinction as a Qadi (judge) and scholar of Islamic jurisprudence, upholding the principles of justice and equity. Averroes taught that reason is not the enemy of faith, but its noble companion; law must be informed by wisdom; and that the pursuit of truth is the highest human calling. His legacy endures as a beacon for all who seek to harmonize intellect with virtue, and justice with learning.
