Media

The rule of law has been considered as a cornerstone of Hong Kong, which was first brought by the British in 1841. So over this one-and-a-half centuries, how has our legal system changed and who took part in these changes? Established in 1969, The Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong is the first law school in Hong Kong. As one of the initiatives celebrating its Golden Jubilee, the Faculty is working with Walk in Hong Kong to design a walking tour in Central and Western District to trace the path of the Faculty development in parallel with the evolution of the legal systems in Hong Kong.

Mr Paul Chan from Walk in Hong Kong will introduce the Tour to the media in a press conference on 7 March 2019 (Thursday). Details are as follows:

Date: 7 March 2019 (Thursday)
Time: 2:15 pm (Registration starts at 2:00 pm) – 5 pm
Venue: Room 723, 7/F Cheng Yu Tung Tower, Centennial Campus, HKU

(Except from Tai Kwun to the Court of Final Appeal, transportation will be arranged to certain spots after the Introduction. Members of the press are encouraged to visit at least the Caine Road with us.)

Rundown:

Before he co-founded Walk in Hong Kong in 2013 to promote the lesser-seen sides of Hong Kong, Mr Paul Chan (LLB 2001, PCLL 2002) has served as the Political Assistant to Secretary for Food and Health; researcher in think tank; part-time university lecturer, and presenter and commentator at a radio station.
