Law graduates of some private universities on Sunday organized a human chain program in front of the Jatiya Press Club and prayed for a chance on the humanitarian point of view to appear in the enrolment examination of the Bangladesh Bar Council to be an advocate.
Hundreds of law graduates participated in the program. They said that they had been working as an apprentice lawyer abiding by all the rules of the Bangladesh Bar Council after obtaining LLB degree. But now bar council is not issuing registration cards to them for appearing in
the enrolment examination to be held on November 22 this year.
Sources said, Bangladesh Bar Council sent a circular to the private universities of the country not to admit more than 50 students in one semester. But some private universities didn’t follow the instructions. That is why bar council is barring to appear in the admission test for the graduates of those universities who didn’t follow the instructions.
Such decision of the bar council will be harmful to them and it will violate their constitutional rights, said the graduates in a press release. So they urged the bar council and other concerned authorities to consider their submission on the humanitarian point of view.
Former students of the Premier University, including Mohin Uddin Milky, Sohan, Yousuf and Foyez, were present in the program.
Meanwhile another group of law graduates of some other private universities organized a press conference at the office of the Law Reporters’ Forum in the Supreme Court yesterday for the same demand.
The graduates are from Stamford University, Southeast University, Dhaka International University, State University, Eastern University, Daffodil International University, City University, Bangladesh Islami University, Sylhet International University and Times University of Bangladesh.
