This week-long programme offers an engaging mix of subjects, including contract law, tort law, and criminal law. Through practical scenarios and interactive exercises, students will gain exposure to fundamental legal principles and learn how to apply them in developing solutions to real-world problems.

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR)’s legal system embodies a unique constitutional framework: a common law jurisdiction preserving judicial independence and capitalist economic principles, operating autonomously yet within the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its socialist civil law system. HKSAR’s unique combination of historical origin, preserved legal traditions, geopolitical significance, and dynamic interplay between “one country” and “two systems” renders its model legally sui generis.
