THE BAR ASSOCIATION OF SRI LANKA – BASL

As the voice of the legal profession, the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) plays a pivotal role in the Administration of Justice and the Rule of Law in the Country. The BASL represents the largest community of the Sri Lankan professionals and is committed to supporting the maintenance of law and order in Sri Lanka. Whilst safeguarding the rights and privileges of its members, the BASL also lobbies for the rights of citizens where necessary, in the wake of national issues and crises.

In this endeavour, the BASL continues to foster an environment creating professionals of the highest standard.

Continuous learning and professional development activities are a major component of the annual activity plan of the BASL which are not limited to the sphere of Law but also to nurture and uplift skills and knowledge in many other disciplines and spheres which contribute to empower members.
