Recognised as one of the country\u2019s leading criminal, regulatory and international lawyers, Lord Macdonald will address an audience comprising senior figures from the legal profession and law students in one of the most eagerly awaited events of the legal and academic calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His talk, on the subject of \u201cFree Speech in Universities\u201d, will take place online at 4:00pm on Friday 17 September. The webinar is open to all members of the public, please <a href=\"https:\/\/hkuems1.hku.hk\/hkuems\/ec_hdetail.aspx?guest=Y&amp;ueid=77172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a> to register. It will be the fourth Criminal Law Lecture jointly organised by the University of Hong Kong and BC&amp;C since the series was launched in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding his lecture topic, Lord Macdonald commented: \u201cMany people fear that free speech protections are weakening in British and North American universities. But what is the role of free speech in an academic institution? And is it really true that a combination of British government anti-terrorist programmes and a censorious transatlantic \u2018woke culture\u2019 is undermining the free exchange of ideas in our universities, encouraging self-censorship amongst professors and students, and putting academic freedom itself at risk?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Fu Hualing, Dean of HKU\u2019s Faculty of Law, described Lord Macdonald as \u201cone of the UK\u2019s true legal heavyweights\u201d and added: \u201cHe has a stellar reputation throughout the legal profession and his talk is certain to be of immense interest to our students and the wider community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A founder member of Matrix Chambers in London, Lord Macdonald has conducted and overseen inquiries and investigations for the UK government, the European Commission and many overseas governments and state authorities. Described by authoritative legal directory Chambers &amp; Partners as a \u201cSenior Statesman of the Criminal Bar\u201d and \u201cpremier league \u2026 completely fantastic\u201d, he was knighted in 2007 for services to the law and appointed to the House of Lords in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His core practice areas include business and corporate crime and associated extraditions, money laundering, sanctions and export control violations, market offences, financial regulation, licensing and international commercial and other arbitrations. Aside from governments and state authorities, his recent clients have included heads of state and senior political figures, banks and financial institutions, international media organisations and major corporations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lord Macdonald\u2019s experience as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003 to 2008 \u2013 the first prominent defence lawyer to be appointed to the post \u2013 has helped give him unrivalled insight into the sensitive issues of criminal risk and associated prosecutorial responses. As well, he was Warden of Wadham College at the University of Oxford for nine years until stepping down recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural Criminal Law Lecture in 2017 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 in 2019 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>BC&amp;C Senior Partner Colin Cohen commented: \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 Lord Macdonald fulfils all these objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur first three speakers visited Hong Kong and delivered the lectures in person at HKU. Given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to hold this edition online with Lord Macdonald speaking from London. We are grateful to him for sharing his considerable expertise and we are looking forward to a fascinating talk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong, 13 August 2021: Former UK Director of Public [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2261,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-55"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
