    “It is wholly fitting that this volume on Constitutional Law and Human Rights is being used to mark the 20th anniversary of Halsbury's Laws of Hong Kong. The advent of Halsbury’s in Hong Kong is a landmark in our law. And our constitutional and human rights law is, more than any other aspect of our legal system, noteworthy for its landmarks from the beginning of the British era right up the present time.” - The Honorable Mr Justice Kemal Bokhary and Professor Johannes Chan SC

    Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, LexisNexis is proud to publish a Special Edition on Constitutional Law (incorporating Human Rights Law).
