Through this seminar series, CPLR aims to create a dedicated space for focused conversations on contemporary legal developments across Asia. These seminars examine pressing human rights concerns and evolving legal frameworks in the region, raising comparative legal and human rights questions for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
This series provides an intellectual forum for authors, legal scholars, and researchers to discuss newly published books and major literature in our focus areas: constitutional law, criminal justice, public international law, and human rights in Hong Kong and Asia. Each seminar features deep-dive discussions on the themes, methodology, and legal impact of contemporary publications, fostering dialogue between authors and the wider academic community.
Designed as a supportive and rigorous academic platform, this series gives doctoral candidates a formal stage to present their ongoing research in CPLR’s focus areas. It encourages peer-to-peer knowledge exchange and provides research students with valuable feedback from expert faculty members to help refine their theses.
Since the development of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), designing and implementing legal frameworks that enable cross-border cooperation and innovation has been a vital focal point. This high-level forum serves as a valuable and interactive platform for legal academics, government decision-makers, and industry practitioners to share policy recommendations, academic insights, and innovative proposals to support regional integration.
This roundtable series brings together leading constitutional experts, legal scholars, and practitioners to analyze the implementation, development, and comparative aspects of national security legislation.
