Sri Lanka Law College was established as the Ceylon Law College under the Council of Legal Education (itself established in 1873) in 1874 in order to impart a formal legal education to those who wished to be lawyers in Ceylon.〔(Historical Overview of Education in Sri Lanka, Ministry of Education )〕 Situated at Hultsdorf Street in Colombo. ==Law education== The Sri Lanka Law College functions under the Council of Legal Education(under the Council of Legal Education Ordinance No.2 of 1900) to administer legal education to person who desire to be enrolled in the Bar of Sri Lanka. The Law College is the only Institution which offers a complete course of study leading to examinations for those desiring to qualify for admission to the profession. As at today, while other Institutions (e.g. University of Colombo, the Open University of Sri Lanka and University of Jaffna) offer academic courses leading to a degree or other academic qualification relating to law, persons become eligible to practice law, only after admission to the profession as provided for in the Rules of the Council of Legal Education. Thus, the Law College is the only gateway to the legal profession in Sri Lanka. Members of the profession are called Attorneys-at-Law. In order to practice law in Sri Lanka a lawyer must be admitted and enrolled as an Attorney-at-Law of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka. To receive Admission to the bar a law student must complete law exams held by the Sri Lanka Law College. The course of study for law students at Sri Lanka Law College does not grant any degree or certification but at completion of studies, examination and a period of apprenticeship qualify for admission to the profession. Graduates holding LLB degrees from University of Colombo, the Open University of Sri Lanka or any other university will be required to complete several examinations and the period of apprenticeship to become an Attorney-at-Law by receiving Admission to the bar. The Law College carries out several post attorney courses including an LLM from the University of Wales and post attorney diploma's in intellectual property law and international trade law. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sri Lanka Law College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
