About

Md. Mehedi Hasan

Apprentice Lawyer · Dhaka Judge Court. I hold an LL.B from East West University and an LL.M from Bangladesh University of Professionals. This site is where I turn legal research into plain language, so that people can understand their rights and the institutions that shape them.

My work spans constitutional and human rights, land and property law, environmental governance, and migration and refugee protection.
