At the ceremony, Professor Chaisse presented awards in three categories, including Criminal Litigation Law Firm of the Year, which went to Robertsons. He also presented the Dispute Resolution Boutique Law Firm of the Year and Transactional Boutique Law Firm of the Year awards.

Conversations with fellow judges and practitioners also provided ideas to take back to the classroom. For Professor Chaisse, contact with those advising clients and conducting cases helps keep teaching close to current practice, as the work of lawyers continues to change.

典禮期間,夏教授擔任了三個獎項的頒獎嘉賓,其中包括由羅拔臣律師事務所奪得的「年度刑事訴訟律師事務所」。此外,他還頒發了「年度爭議解決精品律師事務所」和「年度交易精品律師事務所」獎項。

與其他評委及法律實務界人士的交流,也為夏教授帶來了可帶回課堂的新靈感。在他看來,隨着律師工作不斷演變,與為客戶提供諮詢、親自辦案的實務界人士保持接觸,有助於確保教學始終緊貼當前實務。
