LAW IN EVERYDAY
LIFE
In a country there are people, there is a government,
there are law-enforcing agencies and there are obviously
miscreants. Law enforcing agencies sometimes become
oppressive advertently or inadvertently. One should know
one’s rights before one enforces them. A person should
know his/her obligations so that s/he do not become a
pain in the neck for others! Apart from opting for an
independent and dignified profesion, a degree in law
gives you the confidence in a three-fold manner. When
you become a Barrister nobody dares to treat you in an
unlawful manner. Because they know their life will be
difficult if they try to treat you unlawfully. Secondly
, you know where to go , or in other words, you know
where your remedy lies. Thirdly, you know how to get the
remedy. It cannot be denied that in a developing country
like Bangladesh we face many hurdles. The treatment is
not always the same, though it is our fundamental right
to be treated equally. Hence, it is us who will have to
uphold our rights and the law degree will give us the
power to do it.
