DIAMOND JUBILEE OF THE FACULTY OF LAW

1947-2022

‘All For Law, Law For All’

The Faculty of Law, University of Colombo celebrates 75 years of teaching, research, advocacy and service. The Faculty of Law was initially established as a Department of Law, located within the Faculty of Arts of the then University of Ceylon in July 1947. In 1967, it was upgraded as a fully fledged faculty and to date is the only law faculty in the university system in Sri Lanka.

To mark this significant milestone in our history, the Faculty of Law will host a number of events through 2022 -2023 to advance scholarship and community spirit, together with the academic staff, the alumni, the legal fraternity, law undergraduate and postgraduate students and all the other stakeholders of the faculty. So, remember to check out our calendar of events for updates or share your stories and memories with us.
