The maiden copy of Neethiya-28 (28th anniversary volume), the only law journal to be published uninterrupted for 28 years in Sinhala, is to be presented to Chief Justice Nalin Perera in his chambers at 2:30 pm on February 21 at the Supreme Court.
Begun in 1990 as a newsletter, its inaugural issue was launched by then Chief Justice Parinda Ranasinghe. It was thereafter upgraded to a fully-fledged law journal with the tenth anniversary issue in 2000.
Due to the dearth of legal publications in Sinhala, Neethiya has been in great demand among the legal community, including practitioners, academics, judges, law students, law enforcement officers and others interested in the law, from then up to now.
The present volume too is enriched with articles on a variety of topics on the law written by distinguished specialists, well-prepared notes on recent court decisions and statutes, legal news, tables of cases and other contents.
The total cost of publishing Neethiya since its inception has been met solely by its patron, President’s Counsel Upali A. Goonaratne.
