| Description: | Select Guide Rating This textbook offers a reader-friendly overview of Hong Kong's legal system, covering both the origins in British law and the application of the Basic Law under 'one country, two systems'. It takes into account legal developments in the last two decades since the 1997 handover, and guides first-year law students in legal research and methods. This book provides an introduction to the legal system in Hong Kong. Understanding Hong Kong''s legal system today requires both an understanding of the British origins of much of the laws and legal institutions as well as the uniquely Hong Kong developments in the application of the Basic Law under ''one country, two systems''. These features of the Hong Kong legal system are explored in this book, which takes into account developments in the two decades or so of the new legal framework in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover. In providing both an exposition of the legal institutions in Hong Kong and legal method under Hong Kong''s legal system (including practical guidance and examples on case law, statutory interpretation and legal research), this book is ideal for first-year law students, students of other disciplines who study law and readers who have an interest in Hong Kong''s unique legal system. |
