On November 23, 2022, the AIUB Department of Law arranged a study tour to the Dhaka Judge Court to gain and enhance their legal and practical knowledge on "Trial Procedure of Civil Courts." A delegation of 40 AIUB law students and a faculty member attended the court. The team left the Permanent campus in Kuril at 7:30 a.m. and arrived at the court about 8:30 a.m.
Mr. Jakir Hossain, Senior Assistant Judge, Savar Court, Dhaka welcomed the AIUB law students on behalf of the Dhaka Judgeship. Following the welcome, the briefing session began at the 09:30 am. Mr. Jakir Hossain delivered a brief on the importance of civil judiciary focusing on the use of evidence in the trial. He underlined the need of appropriate methods of service of summons for civil suits. Following the briefing, the Honorable Senior Assistant Judge answered students' questions on a variety of professional, legal, and practical issues.
Following the initial briefing, students took their seats in the courtroom. In real life, students learned and experienced filing a civil suit, trial session, examination and cross examination of witnesses, methods of service of summons, and so on.
After the courtroom experience, there was a QA session. Mr. Jakir Hossain answered the queries raised by the students and provided legal explanations. Altogether this real-life practical learning experience lasted for four hours covering introductory session, trial session and QA session. Later, students were allowed to see the Dhaka Judge Court compound. The visit concluded with a group photo with Mr. Jakir Hossain in front of his court room.
