Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md Asaduzzaman today (13 October) said that an initiative is underway to prevent people aged over 35 from becoming lawyers.
"I have asked to start an initiative to close the path to becoming a lawyer after the age of 35. A decision has already been made on this," he said, addressing an internship programme for law students, jointly organised by the Attorney General's Office and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), at the Supreme Court Auditorium.
Addressing the interns, Asaduzzaman said the programme aimed to help them learn from everyday experiences.
