A Special Standing in the World: The Faculty of Law at The University of Hong Kong, 1969–2019

Synopsis:Drawing on archives, publications and interviews, this book explores the growth of the Faculty of Law at HKU against the momentous events of the past 50 years. The first two chapters examine the Faculty's prehistory when, for over a hundred years, most of Hong Kong’s lawyers were trained in England. The remaining six chapters explore alternately the Faculty’s internal history and its role in building Hong Kong’s modern legal system.
