An Evaluation of Legal Education in Bangladesh

Abstract

This paper criticizes Bangladeshi legal education and claims its failure to create court-ready practitioners. Bangladeshi law schools are expected to reform their pedagogy to better prepare students for practice, develop professionalism, and expose them to justice concerns. This article offers a candid analysis of the issues plaguing Bangladesh’s legal education system, pinpointing the specific causes of its ineffectiveness during the previous four decades. Providing ideas on how to solve these challenges and enhance the quality of legal education based on the findings of multiple surveys that were administered to students enrolled in a number of different law schools, this paper concludes that it is essential for educational institutions to modify their teaching methods in order to generate competent professionals who are able to satisfy the requirements of legal practice and advance the rule of law in society.
