Law of Bangladesh


The Law of Bangladesh is primarily in accordance with the English legal system although since 1947, the legal scenario and the laws of Bangladesh have drifted far from the West owing to differences in socio-cultural values and religious guidelines. In November 2007, Bangladesh has successfully separated the Judiciary from the Executive but several black laws still influence the rulers in creating Special Tribunals in using several black laws including the Special Powers Act.

Bangladeshi people have 23 fundamental rights under the Constitution of Bangladesh, Part 3, Articles 26 to 47A. The Fundamental Rights in Bangladesh under below:

The general hierarchy includes both civil and criminal courts. At the top hierarchy is the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. Article 94(1) of the Constitution provides that there shall be a Supreme Court for Bangladesah (to be known as the Supreme Court of Bangladesh) comprising the Appellate Division and the High Court Division.

The academic systems of the country allow two separate systems of qualifying legal degrees in Bangladesh which are college-oriented two-year LL.B. degrees and the University-based four-year LL.B. (Hons.) degrees which require more extensive academic commitment and the places at the universities remain competitive. Recently there has been a rise in the trend of obtaining foreign academic LL.B. degrees (especially from the UK).
