This refers to the recent comment by one of our respected judges that, "justice" in Bangladesh can only be afforded by the rich! Now, how in the world did we end up in such a situation?

The lawyers in our country, who are the "ultimate" persons one has to depend upon to take care of a case, have apparently formed some sort of a syndicate to dictate exorbitant sums of money before even touching a brief. So where do the poor stand?
