AM Amin Uddin

Abu Mohammad Amin Uddin (known as A. M. Amin Uddin; born 29 September 1962) is a Bangladeshi lawyer who served as the 16th attorney general of Bangladesh. He is former president of the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association Executive Committee for the terms 2019–2020 and 2020–2021.

Early life Uddin was born in Kulaura Upazila, Moulvibazar District in the then East Pakistan. He completed his HSC from Dhaka City College and bachelor's from Dhaka University. He earned his LLB degree from Central Law College in 1982. In 2008, as secretary of the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association opposed proposals to appoint 50 percent of High Court Division judges from members of the Bangladesh Judicial Service Association.

In October 2020, Uddin was appointed Attorney General of Bangladesh following the death of Mahbubey Alam, the longest serving Attorney General of Bangladesh.

In May 2021, Uddin was re-elected President of Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association through an oral vote presided by Muhammad Shafique Ullah. This was protested by lawyers associated with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party who called it against the charter of the association, as an election was not held. Uddin tried to stop the fighting during the vote which saw lawyers aligned with the ruling Awami League take all seats of the association including the post of President by Md Momtaz Uddin Fakir.

On 7 August 2024, Uddin resigned the attorney generalship following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina led Awami League government. The new government saw the removal of 68 law officers including Uddin. He was charged in a murder case in the death of a protester against the government on 19 July 2024 along with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other senior members of the government.
