Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre (BIAC) has requested the Secretary, Bangladesh Bar Council to incorporate ADR module in the syllabus of written examination to admit persons as advocates on its roll.

BIAC made the plea when Secretary of the Bangladesh Bar Council and Senior District & Sessions Judge Md. Rafiqul Islam visited the BIAC Secretariat in the city recently.

Chief Executive Officer of BIAC Muhammad A. (Rumee) Ali welcomed him at the new premises of BIAC at the Unique Heights, 117 Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue in the city.

The Secretary took keen interest in the activities of BIAC and hoped that both BIAC and the Bar Council will work together for pioneering ADR methods for expeditious disposal of civil disputes outside of the courts which are already overburdened with under-trial pending cases.

The BIAC CEO briefed the Bar Council Secretary about the activities of BIAC, the country's only Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) institution.

He said that BIAC is trying hard to facilitate resolution of commercial disputes through ADR in the country. He also said that through its training and outreach programmes, BIAC is trying to ease business and attracting more FDIs in the country.
