Abstract

Law is a significant instrument of removing and mitigating all sorts of unrest, evil deed and anarchism circumstance from the society. Learning law and acquiring legal knowledge is a demand of the society as law touches every person for knowing ones rights and duties but in reality learning law and acquiring legal skill is mere a requirement of legal professionals. Law students and lawyers and other stakeholders have immense contribution to the society for ensuring justice. Unless and until they do not have any applied knowledge on law, they cannot bring proper relief to the party. A law student, lawyer and other stake holders‘ should have analytical skill to evaluate different social aspects. So, to attain the full objective of law our existing legal education fails in some cases. Existing legal education is mainly focused on the development of theoretical knowledge. Legal education system in a country should be planned in such a way that the highest benefit of law is possibly attainable. It is admitted that since in Bangladesh there are many hindrance in this regard, government and other responsible authorities must come forward to safeguard the hindrance. Mooting or moot court practice in clinical legal education is the best mechanism to overcome prevailing situation and also a footstep furthering a society of justice.
