service of Federal Government, he was called to the Malaysian Bar in 1981, at
the same time he was the Head of Advisory Division and Civil Division of the
Attorney General's Chambers.
In 1984, he was elevated to be a High Court Judge (Borneo and Malaya) and
subsequently as a Judge of the Court of Appeal in 1994. In May 1999, he was
elevated to the Federal Court.
After his retirement in 2001, he joined the firm Azlan & Loh as a partner and
subsequently, he became a consultant of Messrs CW Loh & Associates.
Dato' Haji Abu Mansor was also registered on the Panel of Arbitrators for
domestic and international cases with the Regional Centre for Arbitration Kuala
Lumpur and a Commissioner for Oaths.
In 2007, he was appointed as a member of the Kuala Lumpur War
Crimes Tribunal.
