The Inaugural Hong Kong Law Research Postgraduate Symposium was held on April 11, 2015 at the Graduate Law Centre, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Faculty of Law. It brought together more than 60 law and law-focused PhD, SJD and MPhil-Students from Chinese University of Hong Kong, University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The Symposium was also attended by numerous law professors who actively engaged in discussions with students, providing them with comments and suggestions regarding their research.

Interesting and thought provocative keynote presentations were delivered by Professor Andra le Roux-Kemp from the City University of Hong Kong School of Law and Professor Haochen Sun from the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law.

Furthermore, students had the opportunity to learn more about publication opportunities through a panel on the topic of Publishing Your Research: Insights from the Decision Makers presented by Jacelyn Johnson (Product Development Manager, LexisNexis Hong Kong) and William P. White (Sr. Product Development Specialist, Wolters Kluwer Hong Kong). The programme is available here.

The Symposium was very well received by presenters and guests. On behalf of the Faculty of Law of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the organizers of the symposium would like to say a big thank you to all participants and guests for attending the symposium. See you next year!
