The Bangladesh Bar Council is a Licensing and Regulatory Body formed under the Bangladesh Legal Practitioners and Bar Council Order, 1972. With 15 members, including the Attorney-General, the Council ensures the adherence to professional standards and conduct among advocates. They have multiple committees, such as the Executive Committee and Legal Education Committee, that oversee various functions.

The Council is responsible for admitting individuals as advocates and conducting examinations for admission purposes. They also address cases of misconduct and establish punishment when necessary. Furthermore, the Bar Council promotes legal education and collaborates with universities to maintain high-quality standards.

Advocates are expected to be men of integrity, respected for their knowledge and dedication to upholding the rule of law. They have the right to practice throughout Bangladesh and appear before various courts and authorities. Membership in a Bar Association is mandatory for advocates to practice and participate in legal proceedings.
