HOW HAS LSASL CHANGED YOUR LIFE ?

Having acted as the Academic Activities Secretary for the Law Students’ Association of Sri Lanka (LSASL) for 2021/2022, my time being a part of the LSASL was indeed a fulfilling, and rewarding experience It played an important role in helping me acquire and enhance important academic and professional knowledge and skills needed for a law student. During my term, my members and I worked collaboratively to organize various publications, events, webinars, and workshops for law students These endeavours provided amazing opportunities to further develop and strengthen the knowledge and skills of law students within the country Through these endeavours, I was able to develop valuable skills in leadership, decision-making, teamwork, time management, communication, adaptability, project management, and organization It also helped me improve my overall knowledge and skills in legal writing, legal research, and legal referencing.

In addition to this, the LSASL also provided many law students, including myself, an opportunity to meet, network, and engage with other like-minded law students and legal professionals within the country and internationally through ALSA

It was a memorable and enjoyable experience that I immensely benefited from. It was truly an honor to have been a part of the National Council and I would definitely recommend the LSASL to other law students
