Give free services every once in a while: CJ to lawyers

Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain today urged lawyers to conduct at least two cases without any fee in order to ensure justice for justice seekers.

The lawyers and justice seekers should become interested with pleasure to settle the cases through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) system (a process in which the cases are disposed of outside the court through compromise), he said.

The chief justice said this while speaking as chief guest at Brihottor Mymensingh Utsob (Greater Mymensingh Festival)-2019 at Supreme Court Bar Association auditorium.
