CUHK LAW is pleased to present that the “6th Year Greater China Legal History Seminar Series 2020-21” will commence in September 2020. 

The “Greater China Legal History Seminar Series” was launched in 2017. This seminar series builds upon the success of the “Chinese Customary Law Seminar Series” conducted from 2014 to 2016 covering topics such as Chinese Customary Land Law, Chinese Customary Family Law and Customary Trusts in Hong Kong. The “Greater China Legal History Seminar Series” aims to serve as a forum to discuss the historical development of a great variety of legal issues of interest in the Greater China region. The topics are in many cases the basis of the law and its application as of today and will therefore offer the opportunity to explore the respective contextual status. The seminars are conducted by experts in their respective fields, but are meant to cater to the legally interested general public. The events will usually comprise presentations by one or more speakers (up to 60 minutes) followed by a Q&A session (up to 30 minutes). Each seminar is open and free of charge to all who are interested.

Anyone interested in contributing to the seminar series, please contact the organisers Professor Lutz-Christian Wolff, Wei Lun Professor of Law and Professor Steven Gallagher, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning).
