Educational institutions have been closed on the instructions of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to prevent corona infection. Despite this, Sunamganj-4 MP Pir Fazlur Rahman Misbah raised a question in Parliament against the Bar Association’s initiative to take the exam. He mentioned in the session of Parliament on September 8, “For a long time, the Council of Lawyers has deviated from the regular review on the inclusion of lawyers. However, as a result of the movement of the students in front of the press club for 65 days, the exam date has been set at September 28. How did the coronavirus epidemic decide to suppress its movement? With 13,000 students joining, there is a risk of an increase in infections.

However, if they fail the second time, they must re-participate in the test from the beginning.

Lawyers-in-training have protested the Appeals Division’s decision to conduct irregular examinations and not offer the ability to review books. Faced with the movement, the Bar Association has decided to conduct a written examination on September 28.
