The period from 1972 to the present marks a dynamic chapter in Sri Lanka’s legal history. The adoption of the First Republican Constitution in 1972 replaced the British monarchy with a local presidency and asserted national sovereignty. This was followed by the Second Republican Constitution of 1978, which introduced the Executive Presidency and paved the way for major constitutional reforms and legislative expansion. Key developments during this era include laws governing human rights, education, land reforms, finance, anti-terrorism, and digital governance. The legal system became increasingly statute-based, while Roman-Dutch law continued to underpin civil matters.
