Though LL.B. is an ancient degree, it is a prestigious one. At present, the demand for LL.B. (Hons) 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. Now many group of companies including local companies need legal advisors. Banks and NGOs also need legal consultants. The function of a legal advisor in general is to deal with the legal matters of the companies, banks and NGOs.
England is famous for its legal education system. There are many courses available, namely LL.B. (Hons) with Economics, LL.B. (Hons) with Accounting, LL.B. (Hons) with Management, LL.B. (Hons) with Finance 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. (Hons), which would include Accounting, Economics, Management, Finance, Statistics and Computer studies in the LL.B. (Hons) Programme, I think the graduates of Law will get more opportunities in working with different multinational companies and local companies as well. There is a court named Artha Rin Adalat. In order to become a judge of this court, the knowledge of economics, accounting, finance and statistics etc. is an added advantage. The Law graduates who run businesses and are not involved in practice may also be benefited from having knowledge of these subjects. Finally, the demand for law graduates have increased and students are now more interested to study law. A further advancement in the LL.B. (Hons) Course Curriculum will be fruitful for student to jump-start their career as successful legal professionals.
