It will mark the lecture\u2019s return as an in-person event after the last edition was conducted online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled that former Chief Justice Ma has accepted our invitation to deliver the Criminal Law Lecture. Given his immense standing in the legal world, we are certain his talk will be hugely popular with legal professionals, law students and the general public,\u201d says BC&amp;C Senior Partner Colin Cohen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur vision for the Criminal Law Lecture has always been to attract world class speakers, galvanise the legal profession and create an event that transcends academia. This forthcoming address by former Chief Justice Ma fulfils all these objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecture, to be held in the Philip KH Wong Theatre at HKU\u2019s Pokfulam campus, is free of charge and open to all. Anyone wishing to attend should register <a href=\"https:\/\/hkuems1.hku.hk\/hkuems\/ec_hdetail.aspx?guest=Y&amp;ueid=83497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. Two evenings before the lecture, Mr Ma will conduct a \u201cfireside chat\u201d with Colin before a small audience in a private event at the China Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Ma served as Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal from 2010 to 2021. Born in Hong Kong, he gained his law degree at the University of Birmingham in the UK. He was called to the English Bar (Gray\u2019s Inn) in 1978, the Hong Kong Bar in 1980, the Bar of the State of Victoria in Australia in 1983 and the Bar of Singapore in 1990. He was appointed Queen\u2019s Counsel in 1993. Before joining the Judiciary, Mr Ma was in private practice in Hong Kong and in Singapore. He was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural Criminal Law Lecture featured Clare Montgomery QC giving a fascinating insight into \u201cJoint Enterprise\u201d, the three-decade-old legal principle that allows someone to be convicted of murder even if they did not strike the fatal blow. In the second lecture, Edward Fitzgerald QC spoke on the topic of \u201cCriminal Appeals and New Evidence\u201d and then celebrated barrister, author and broadcaster Geoffrey Robertson QC enthralled a large audience with his talk entitled \u201cInternational Criminal Law: Can it be Enforced?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three speakers visited Hong Kong and delivered their lectures in person at HKU. Last year\u2019s talk, \u201cFree Speech in Universities\u201d, was delivered online from London by the UK\u2019s former Director of Public Prosecutions Lord Ken Macdonald QC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adds Colin: \u201cWe are delighted to return to an in-person event and we look forward to what promises to be a compelling evening in the company of former Chief Justice Ma. Our thanks also go to HKU for their assistance in staging this landmark event.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong, 29 August 2022: The former Chief Justice of  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3446,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-56"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
