Past Chair, Malcolm McNeil, awarded honorary lifetime membership into Pakistan's Lahore High Court Bar Association in recognition of his efforts to help free a group of Pakistani lawyers who were imprisoned for peacefully protesting the removal of a High Court judge who disagreed with then-President Pervez Musharraf. He spearheaded efforts and encouraged other attorneys from the International Association of Young Lawyers ("AIJA") to write and lobby European counsel as to the plight of the imprisoned lawyers, who were eventually freed, and the judge they supported was also reinstated
