Sri Lanka Law College
Sri Lanka Law College situated in Hulftsdorp Street of Colombo, Sri Lanka, was
established in 1874 under the then-one-year-old Council of Legal Education
in order to impart a formal legal education to those who wished to become
advocates and proctors in Ceylon.
The Sri Lanka Law College is the institution which has trained almost all the
lawyers in Sri Lanka and it is the only gateway to the legal profession in the
country. The history of training for the legal profession in Sri Lanka goes as
far back as 1833, the year in which the Supreme Court was empowered by
Section 17 of the Charter of 1833, to admit and enroll as Advocates and
Proctors, persons of good repute and of competent knowledge and ability
upon examination by one or more of the judges of the Supreme Court. This
was done in order to provide sufficient legal practitioners to work in the
judicial system established by the British Colonial administration.
In order to practice law in Sri Lanka a lawyer must be admitted and enrolled
as an 'Attorneys-at-Law of the Supreme Court of Democratic Socialist
Republic of Sri Lanka'. To receive admission to the Bar, a law student must
complete law examinations held by Sri Lanka Law College.
Sri Lanka Law College conducts oratory competitions, mooting, workshops
and boasts a strong Law Students' Union. Sri Lanka Law College conducts post
graduate courses including a Master of Laws (LLM) from University of Wales
and diplomas in Intellectual Property Law and International Trade Law.
The main building of Sri Lanka Law College was constructed in 1911 and the
premises has an Auditorium, Library, Computer Room with IT facilities,
Canteen, Bookshop, and lecture halls.
As one of the oldest professional training bodies it has trained all the lawyers
in the country who have served not only in the field of law but also various
other fields such as politics, social reforms, commerce, trade unions and
religion.
