Other than celebrating her success, she thanked everyone from the organizers to the selectors who put in a lot of effort to pull the event together.
The event was held in a virtual ceremony on 10 September.

It is indeed a huge accomplishment for the women in the legal fraternity of Pakistan and for the country as well. We’re very proud of our women for shattering the glass ceilings and achieving milestones like a boss.
