No age limit for Law College
entrance exam
The Council of Legal
Education of the Sri Lanka Law College has made several decisions including
removal of the upper age limit, which was reduced from 35 years to 30 years
last year.(Neethi Vidyala Praveshaya)
According to the Principal
of SL Law College, Dr Jayatissa De Costa P.C., question papers will be in
English, Sinhala and Tamil with candidates free to answer in the language of
their choice.
Among the other decisions by
the Council of Legal Education is to exempt those who have Bachelor of Laws
(local or foreign) from attending lectures, to sit Attorneys-at-Law exams at
the next available examination, immediately after passing each exam.
They can sit two
Attorneys-at-Law exams or to sit all the Attorneys-at-Law exams together.
Eligible students (those
admitted on the results of the Entrance Exam, will require 75% attendance at
lectures) can sit the Attorneys-at-Law exams to be held in April.
Meanwhile, The Law College
is calling for applications from Sri Lankan LL.B holders of a foreign
university recognized by the Council of Legal Education, with a Credit pass in
English, Sinhala/Tamil Language at the GCE Ordinary Level.
Those interested are
requested to collect their applications from the Law College office in
Hulftsdorp Street, Colombo 12, and submit them on or before March 19 if they
wish to sit for the April 2015 exam.
