Life’s demand for the law is diverse and all-embracing. Law graduates, therefore, should craft legal skills and values so that they may use them not only for the court corridor but also for daily life. This approach contributes to developing a legal culture. Legal education should aim to produce enlightened citizens who can understand the problems and needs of life through law. Jagannath University Law Faculty recognises this noble purpose of legal education. The perception of law and the nature of the legal system is ultimately conditioned by the kind of legal education we offer. Traditional legal education leads to litigating lawyering, where lawyers formally represent others. They use more than they do anything else. Such a pessimistic approach to the legal profession directly impacts our traditional legal education. However, we at Jagannath Law want to make a breakthrough. Today's law graduates should be law architects. From fighting for clients to public spirit lawyering to another legal service, a law graduate has to be an agent of social change. To that end, we emphasise introducing a socially responsive legal education. As such, we have designed the legal curricula containing and addressing the issues of poverty, injustice, governance, social factors, economics, legal culture etc., to equip the students with the needs of contemporary society. Socially responsive legal education ultimately contributes to establishing social justice. Law is a large canvas, full of mystery, controversy and contradiction. Yet it has its beauty and pride in caring for the state system. Lawyers and law are actively rewriting our world. Our legal education defines the class of lawyers and tests the merit of our laws. Being a lawyer is a joy. We have many joys in life. It gives us a great deal of happiness. When I say happiness, I remember the pledge of the US Declaration of Independence, 'in pursuit of happiness'. I translate it as 'shukher o lagiya' (moving after happiness), and in Tagore's world, it's known as 'shukher o shondhane jao'. But shukh (includes peace) does not take place automatically. Bangabandhu, the greatest son of our soil, incidentally a law student at Dhaka University, had advocated for our nation's emancipation. However, what suffering he had sustained and what a tragedy he had to embrace! He said once: “When I would die, place a tin-made mike beside my gravestone so that people could say that this man entered into politics with a tin-made mike in hand and eventually ended along with it advocating for the rights of the Bengalis”! We can imagine his level of dedication to the cause of the people, although he sounded a bit ironic! I mean that law studying entails the beauty of performing and a promise for sacrifice. Now, let us consider some points. Firstly, the law is an enormous world of the intellectual hunt. You get to apply your mind every day. It asks us how to speak and read. To be a lawyer, we must develop the discipline for reading legal sources wisely. Legal study trains us how to formulate and present arguments. It makes us better readers, better writers and better thinkers. Secondly, if you study law, people will treat you with respect. Receiving respect entails an obligation to offer pro bono services to society-- the other meaningful way that the law makes us happy. We have a common law legal system, and many people cynically say it is destined to penalise the poor. Such an embedded conviction is a crisis in our legal system. But what to do? It's easy to talk about the need for law reform and blame the politicians. What about our responsibility to work for justice? We can hardly deny that lawyers, legal institutions, and law schools run our justice system as public defenders, law technicians and law-graduate suppliers. To that end, Jagannath Law has become a caravan in advancing the idea of law at people’s service. Law Faculty at Jagannath comprises two departments- Law itself and the recent addition of Land Management and Law (LML). Our graduates are doing exceedingly well in their respective jobs. They have made their places in the Bar, Bench, academia and other fields of employment. As such, albeit comparatively new, Jagannath Law is leading in dispensing quality legal education in Bangladesh. Our teachers are highly qualified and committed to the needs of the students. With these few words, I welcome you to this Faculty to join the venture of making society a bit better!
