5. The Legal Profession in Bangladesh
The legal profession in Bangladesh is regulated by the Bangladesh Bar Council, established under the Bangladesh Legal Practitioners and Bar Council Order, 1972. To practise as an advocate in Bangladesh, a person must hold a recognised law degree, pass the Bar Council enrolment examination, and be enrolled with a district bar association or the Supreme Court Bar Association, depending on the level of court before which they intend to practise.
Bangladesh follows a hierarchical court structure. At the apex is the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, which consists of the High Court Division and the Appellate Division. Below the Supreme Court are the subordinate courts, including District and Sessions Courts (which handle major civil and criminal matters at the district level), Magistrate Courts (which handle minor criminal matters and preliminary hearings), and a range of specialised tribunals covering areas such as labour disputes, family law, administrative matters, and commercial cases.
Advocates enrolled with a district bar association are authorised to practise before the subordinate courts within that district. Advocates who pass the additional Supreme Court enrolment examination are authorised to appear before the High Court Division, and those who pass the Appellate Division examination may appear before the country's highest court. This tiered system ensures that advocates at every level have demonstrated the competence required to represent clients effectively before the relevant courts.
