Kong, the conference is the first major international academic

aims to provide a platform for experts and legal practitioners from
home and abroad to present their research and practical views, as well
as to provide networking opportunities. In addition to the

covering both theoretical and practical aspects. As the Official

Conference will review the challenges and opportunities of legal
language of Hong Kong, and provide new ideas and directions to guide
the further development of Hong Kong’s bilingual legal system.
