ABSTRACT
This article is an appreciation of the relevance various schools of law find in the contemporary events. For this, the recent turmoil in Bangladesh has been chosen as the topic of analysis. This blog aims to present an analysis of the way the law has interspersed the Bangladesh upheaval by adducing instances that have their genesis in the multiple schools of Jurisprudence and how the improper appreciation of the ideologies of the respective schools by the government of the day has led to the turmoil has been reflected upon. The multifarious issues and their interrelation with the Schools of Law are explored and analysed. The laws that govern the developments in this turmoil have been traced to their school of thought and an effort has been made to spot the missteps of the Bangladesh government in formulating laws that were inconsistent with the ideologies of those schools to which they have been traced back. The article solely based on doctrinal research, finds that the failure to coherently align the legal developments with the ideologies of the Sociological School, the Historical School, and the Realist School had a tacit yet discernible role in the said turmoil. This analysis is intended to meaningfully contribute to the literature of jurisprudence that would serve to both alert and enlighten future governments across the globe to preclude such turmoils.
