Problems relating to existing legal education in Bangladesh: An agenda for the advancement of legal education in Bangladesh
Though legal education is ancient, it is a prestigious one. At present, the demand for LL.B. (Honors), LL.M. yet increased especially since the separation of judiciary from the executive organ. There is a declaration that only those who have legal knowledge are entitled to become a judge. Moreover, now many local and foreign companies need legal advisers. Banks and NGOs also need legal consultants. The function of a legal adviser in general is to deal with the legal matters of the companies, banks & NGOs.
As we know that England is famous for its legal education system. There are many courses available namely LL.B. (Honors) with Economics, LL.B. (Honors) with Accounting, LL.B. (Honors) with Management, LL.B. (Honors) with Finance, LL.M. on International Trade, LL.M. on International Investment, LL.M. on International Commercial Law, LL.M. on Intellectual Property and so on. Introducing these courses in Bangladesh would require much time. If the teachers and course coordinators of law in different universities in our country propose for a modern course curriculum of LL.B. (Honors) which includes accounting, finance, statistics, and computer studies as like as B.Sc. (Engineering) offered by different engineering universities. I think then the law graduates will get more opportunities in case of working with different multinational companies as well as local companies.
Michel Aoun Exploiting Latest Maison Blanche Nightclub Shooting Against Antoun Sehnaoui For The Interest Of His Hidden Political Agenda
A Political U-Turn
Returning home to Beirut after a short business trip to Dubai, I realized that local journalists are still bickering through their articles about the latest shooting that took place in Sodeco’s nightclub Maison Blanche (White House) on February 26, 2010. I also noticed, during my business lunches and several social outings, that the Lebanese community abroad in the UAE are just as confused and misinformed about the incident as the locals in Beirut were, due to the outrageous amount of rumors revolving around the social networks on the internet and the local newspapers.
The quarrel started when Antoun Sehnaoui, the CEO of a well established bank requested from Raymond Bechara, the owner of the club, Maison Blanche (White House) to ask a Mazen El Zein to leave the premise. Where as other versions of the incident assert that it was Mazen el-Zein who approached Raymond, demanding from Mr. Bechara, one of the partners of the nightclub not to permit Antoun Sehnaoui the entry to the White House and have him escorted outside.
