It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the School of Law, Bangladesh Open University, a new chapter in our university’s commitment to knowledge, equity, and public service. The School of Law stands on the firm belief that legal education is not merely about mastering statutes, cases, and doctrines. It is also about cultivating integrity, critical thought, public responsibility, and a deep respect for justice. In a changing world shaped by globalization, technological transformation, and social inequality, the legal profession must be prepared not only to interpret law, but also to question injustice, protect rights, and contribute to democratic governance. It is in this spirit that our School seeks to shape the next generation of lawyers, judges, academics, policymakers, mediators, and public leaders. As a pioneering institution in open and distance learning, Bangladesh Open University has long played a distinctive role in widening access to higher education across the country. Read more..
The School of Law of Bangladesh Open University is a newly re-established academic home for the study of law through open and distance learning, created to meet the growing need for accessible, flexible, and high-quality legal education in Bangladesh. Originally established on 11 October 2005 under the leadership of then Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. M. Ershadul Bari, the School was created with the important objective of broadening access to legal education for learners from varied social and economic backgrounds. This was a significant and forward-looking initiative, especially in a country where many aspiring students face geographical, financial, occupational barriers. Following an administrative decision of the Board of Governors on 3 September 2009, the School’s separate academic activities were temporarily suspended and its programs were transferred to the School of Social Science, Humanities and Languages. Even during that period, the LLB (Honours) and LLM programs continued, ensuring continuity in legal learning and allowing the discipline of law to remain active within the university. read more
