LankaLaw Data Sets Overview

LankaLaw is an online legal research platform that compiles an extensive, structured digital repository of Sri Lankan legal materials, offering free access to core sources of law and related legal documents. Its datasets are organized to help lawyers, students, researchers, and the public find statutes, case law, and legal references quickly and reliably.

1. Legislations & Statutes
The platform hosts a comprehensive collection of Acts of Parliament and Ordinances of Sri Lanka from independence to the present, arranged both alphabetically and chronologically. It also includes consolidated Acts, which integrate amendments into a single updated text, and core foundational laws like the Constitution and major legislative enactments.

2. Case Law & Judgments
LankaLaw maintains a wide collection of reported judgments and case law, covering decisions from key courts:

• Sri Lanka Law Reports (SLR) — major reported cases in annual volumes.
• New Law Reports (NLR) — another series of reported decisions.
• Supreme Court Judgments and Court of Appeal Judgments across multiple years.
• Historical case law and digests summarizing significant legal principles.

3. Legal Publications & Digests
The dataset includes case digests, publications like “LankaLaw Reporter,” and summaries that help users understand key judicial decisions and trends in Sri Lankan law.

4. Treaties & Conventions
LankaLaw also features international treaties and conventions relevant to Sri Lanka’s legal framework, supporting research that intersects with international law.

5. AI-Assisted Research Tools
Beyond static documents, the platform integrates an AI legal assistant that helps users query the law in natural language and navigate to relevant statutes, case entries, or interpretations. This makes legal information more accessible even to non-experts.

Together, these data sets form one of the most comprehensive freely accessible legal repositories in Sri Lanka, combining official texts (Acts, consolidated statutes), case law reports, judicial judgments, and research resources into a searchable and downloadable digital library
