Pakistan International Disputes Weekend (PIDW)
Shaping policy, reform, and regional leadership through a future-focused ADR platform.
MSJ’s Chairmanship
As the founding Chair of PIDW, MSJ unified Pakistan’s High Courts under a single reform-driven platform, marking a historic first. His leadership catalyzed collaboration among ministries, bar councils, academia, and global ADR stakeholders.
From launching the Domestic Arbitration Act 2023 to advocating for the Singapore Mediation Convention, MSJ transformed PIDW into a practical blueprint for policy reform and global alignment.
His leadership went beyond coordination; it fostered integration across ministries, judges, lawyers, bar councils, academia, and international ADR bodies. This holistic inclusion has reshaped Pakistan’s image globally, transforming PIDW into a gateway for international engagement and legal harmonization.
Through PIDW, MSJ has laid the groundwork for a more accessible, transparent, and globally trusted dispute resolution ecosystem in Pakistan.
Transforming Vision into Reality
Under MSJ, PIDW evolved from a regional conference to a global ADR forum that convenes leading jurists, policymakers, and institutions for high-impact legal dialogue.
