Introduction The Sri Lanka Judges’ institute was established by an Act of parliament titled “Sri Lanka Judges’ Institute Act No; 46 of 1985” to provide for the establishment of a Judges’ Institute and for matters connected there with or incidental there to. HISTORY OF JUDGES’ INSTITUTE OF  SRI LANKA Sri Lanka Judges’ Institute holds the rare distinction of being the only judicial institute in Sri Lanka providing judicial education for Sri Lankan Judicial officers and enhancing their professional standards.  Before the Judges’ Institute was established, the only training the judicial officers had, before they assumed their judicial duties, was a few weeks of court observation sitting with the presiding judge. It was strongly felt that judges who administer justice must have the training not only before they commence their judicial career, but that the training be a continuous process throughout their judicial career. It was then realized that in-depth and regular training for judicial officers should be designed where judicial officers of all ranks would get judicial training on regular basis.
