Dear All!

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahe wa barakatuhu wa magferatuhu.

Thank you very much for your interest in my personal website. This is Md. Ershadul Karim, a Lawyer by profession though I like to address myself as Legal Researcher.  

I am very fortunate to have Allah Subhanallauta’la’s favour in achieving a very strong academic background.  I secured Fifth position (First among all Bangladeshi Boys) in the S.S.C. Examination from Social Science Group in 1994 from Dhaka Board with 84.7% marks. I also secured Nineteenth position in the H.S.C. Examination from Arts Group in 1996 in Dhaka Board having Economics, Statistics, Logic, Geography with 80.8% of marks. I obtained Second Class Third position (in order of merit 4^th) in the LL.B. (Hons.) Final Examination 1999-2000 under University of Dhaka with 57% of marks and First Class Third position in the LL.M. Final Examination 1999-2000 under University of Dhaka with 64% of marks.

Basically teaching and research are my passions. I always dream to be a famous legal researcher of Bangladesh. Therefore, after completion of my LL.B. (Hons.) and LL.M. from University of Dhaka in the year 2000 and 2001 respectively I joined Eastern University as a Teaching Assistant and was promoted to Lecturer and finally Senior Lecturer in 2006. One of the most important recognitions of my service in Eastern University is the award of Best Faculty Member in 2005, when the University introduced the Award for the first time. To explore the same venture, I worked as Resource Person of Bangladesh Medical Research Council (BMRC) for three years where I taught health professionals Law and Bio-Ethics.

Now I am working as Senior Research Officer in Chancery Research and Consultants Trust (CRC- Trust) which has established the Technical Support Secretariat of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Trafficking in Person Especially Women and Children. I am also the Editor of the First Bangladeshi Online Case Law Database, Chancery Law Chronicles (please visit, www.clcbd.org). I also played leading role and was instrumental in the compilation of all Bangladeshi Laws in the Bangladesh Code(please visit, www.bdlaws.gov.bd )

I have got a good number of publications including a book on ‘Principles of Civil Litigation: Bangladesh Perspective’ which is referred in LL. M. level in all Universities of Bangladesh, few articles published in most recognized journals in Bangladesh like Dhaka University Journal of Law, Bangladesh Journal of Law published by Bangladesh Institute of Law and International Affairs (BILIA) on ‘Doctor’s Negligence’, ‘Citizen’s Right to Privacy’, ‘Health as a Human Right’, a study report on ‘Violence against Women’ for Bangladesh Women Lawyer’s Association (BNWLA) for the year 2003. Me and my wife also submitted a chapter for a Book on ‘Role of Local NGOs for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in Bangladesh’ which is accepted for publication by Bangladesh Development Initiative, USA.  

My hobbies include reading, writing, music, travelling, fishing etc. Everyday I eagerly wait to return home to see the ever-smiling faces of my family members and to play with my son, Shawqi to enjoy each and every single moment of life.
