Events
Monty and Ahmed recently helped to organise an event for barristers' working in Bangladesh.
The President of the Barristers' Association of Bangladesh ("BAB"), alumus Mr Ajmalul Hossain QC, hosted a 'President's Dinner' on 8 March 2012 in the Rupashi Bangla Hotel. Among the guests was the Honourable Law Minister and Honourable Chief Justice of Bangladesh. The dinner was free to all the members of BAB.
This event has provided young barristers, including me, an opportunity to meet many other barristers whom we did not know until today. This will definitely be very useful for us in our coming years of legal practice. Event attendee MunImu Rahman Khan Tushar
