===Provincial High Courts===
In every province, there is one High Court. Currently all four provinces [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]], [[Sindh]], [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] and [[Balochistan (Pakistan)|Balochistan]] have High courts, respectively called [[Lahore High Court]], [[Sindh High Court]], [[Peshawar High Court]], and [[Balochistan High Court]]. After the approval of [[Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan|18th Constitutional Amendment]] in April 2010, a new High court is established at Federal Capital Islamabad with the name of [[Islamabad High Court]]. In 18th Amendment, judges appointments are proposed by a Parliamentary Commission. Judges of the provincial high courts were, previously appointed (The [[Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan|seventeenth amendment]] give these powers to the president, previously Prime minister exercised them) by the president after consultation with the chief justice of the Supreme Court, as well as the governor of the province and the chief justice of the high court to which the appointment is being made. High courts have original and appellate jurisdiction.

In addition, there are special courts and tribunals to deal with specific kinds of cases, such as drug courts, commercial courts, labour courts, traffic courts, an insurance appellate tribunal, an income tax appellate tribunal, and special courts for bank offences. There are also special courts to try terrorists. Appeals from special courts go to high courts except for labour and traffic courts, which have their own forums for appeal. Appeals from the tribunals go to the Supreme Court.
