Know Your Law

Know Your Law is a nationwide initiative organized by the Pro Bono Department of Law Students Association of Sri Lanka (LSASL) dedicated to promoting legal awareness among students at both the ordinary and advanced levels The project aims to enlighten young minds about the importance of law through seminars, workshops, and activities, ultimately empowering them to become informed and responsible citizens With the motto ‘legal empowerment for a better tomorrow,’ Know Your Law focuses on creating a solid foundation of legal knowledge and fostering a sense of social responsibility among school children across all districts and provinces of Sri Lanka

Recognizing that school children are often unaware of the legal issues that surround them, Know Your Law seeks to bridge this knowledge gap. By providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the law and its impact on society, the project aims to equip them with the necessary tools to navigate legal challenges and obstacles with confidence By instilling the importance of law at a young age, Know Your Law envisions creating a generation that can make informed decisions and contribute to the well-being of society.

Know Your Law goes beyond mere informational sessions The project actively engages students through group activities and tasks that encourage critical thinking and problem-solving. By challenging students to brainstorm and find solutions to societal issues, Know Your Law aims to instill the importance of building an organized and responsible society The project seeks to create a platform for students to voice their ideas and develop a sense of ownership in shaping their communities By involving schools from all nine provinces and 25 districts, Know Your Law aims to have a broad impact and reach as many students as possible.

Know Your Law stands as a beacon of hope in creating legal awareness among school children Through its comprehensive approach to legal education, engagement activities, and collaboration with experts, the project aims to empower the future generation with the knowledge and skills necessary for building a just and responsible society. By nurturing a deep understanding of the law, Know Your Law is paving the way for a better tomorrow, where informed and empowered citizens contribute positively to their communities
