Details

The fourth edition of Law and Justice in Hong Kong continues to offer readers a comprehensive account of the legal system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People''s Republic of China—the only common law jurisdiction in East Asia.

Thoroughly updated and revised, featuring the latest case law, fresh scholarship, internationally significant events, and new legislation since the release of the previous edition in 2019, such as the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Improving Electoral System (Consolidated Amendments) Ordinance, both enacted amid the COVID–19 pandemic.

Written by an award-winning expert who has taught the subject for 10 consecutive years to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in two different law schools.
