Law Reform Essay Competition Award Ceremony 2023

After a few years of suspension due to the covid-19 outbreak, the Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong (“LRC”) was pleased to have held the Law Reform Essay Competition Award Ceremony on 11 July 2023, when members of the LRC, chairmen and members of LRC Sub-committees, and other distinguished guests in the legal and business community graced us with their presence to share the joy of seven finalists of the LRC Law Reform Essay Competition 2023.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of this annual event. Over the years, the LRC has been partnering with leading law firms, barristers’ chambers, a commercial corporation and the Department of Justice to provide summer placements to the finalists of the competition. In his Welcome Address, Mr Paul Lam, SC, Chairman of the LRC, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the steadfast support of the sponsors of the competition, which, in alphabetical order, were CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, Des Voeux Chambers, Herbert Smith Freehills, Parkside Chambers, Temple Chambers and Woo Kwan Lee & Lo.

The Chairman of the LRC further thanked (in alphabetical order) the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the City University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Shue Yan University, and the University of Hong Kong for encouraging their students to participate in this annual competition.
