But if you have a foreign LLB then you need to pass all subjects from year 1 at law college. Students who could not secure a place at Law Entrance Exam , now do LLB degrees and then do all subjects at Law College.This is just an example how a professional body accepts their members to profession. In this instance the Council of Legal Education.Chartered Accountants, Architects, Engineers etc all have their professional bodies and it is up to the respective bodies to decide how they admit to their professions.Obtaining a Degree is different. So I do not understand the basis of Nalin Silva(I do not know it was the Dr . Nalin Silva -ex lecturer of Uni Colombo) advocate for SAITM . Any body who understand admittance to any profession will understand that courts cannot interfere with their criteria for admission.There is no Right for any person who obtains a degree LLB, BsC(Eng), BSc(Built Environment), BCom to become Attorneys, Engineers , Architects, Chartered Accountants etc. Recognizing a degree and uplifting its standards are left with the Uni concerned. Professional body can reject a degree if it does not conform to their standards. A court cannot order a professional body to do certain acts/illegal acts which they do not want.</blockquote>
