Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was appointed to Chief Justice of Pakistan's Supreme Court in 2005 and became a central figure in the nation's political struggles and an icon to the country's legal profession and others campaigning for rule of law. He was suspended from office in November 2007 when President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency. He was reinstated on March 16th, 2009, as Mr Musharraf's successor, Asif Ali Zardari, moved to avert a political crisis. Chief Justice Chaudhry will be speaking at The University of Western Australia on Monday 12 October at 7pm.
