Bangladesh Bar Council is a statutory autonomous body in Bangladesh, established under the Legal Practitioners and the Bar Council Order.[1][2] It is the licensing and regulatory body for lawyers in Bangladesh.[3]
The bar council can establish tribunals to investigate and prosecute complaints against lawyers. In 2019 there were five such tribunals. A tribunal may reprimand or suspend a lawyer or remove them from practice. It dealt with 378 complaints from 2014 to 2018. Nine lawyers have lost their license permanently and 6 were suspended for a limited period of time.[4]
History
The council was established in 1972 through the Legal Practitioners and the Bar Council Order. It has 15 members including the Attorney General of Bangladesh. It publishes a legal journal called Bangladesh Legal Decisions.[5] Members are elected to the council.[6]
