The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) plays an important role in the Administration of Justice and the Rule of Law in Sri Lanka. The BASL is a collection of all legal professionals in the country and is the largest community of professionals in Sri Lanka. It is committed to supporting the maintenance of law and order in our mother land. The BASL has taken the responsibility of safeguarding the rights and privileges of its members. There are courses and other academic programmes conducted by the BASL as well. The BASL office is situated right at the beginning of Mihindu Mawatha, opposite the Hulftsdorp HNB. Street parking is available but it can be very difficult to find a spot.
