UQEEL holds the first-ever lawyers’ virtual entertainment show in Bangladesh
A group of 15 lawyers was amassed to put up the online performance to cheer up and entertain the viewers to overcome the stressful lockdown times during the COVID-19 crisis by showcasing their performances.

Live performances, i.e. poem reciting, playing popular numbers from classics, modern, rock and contemporary genre, and fusion with tabla captivated the audience.
Two special performances were made.
