ABSTRACT
Introduction In 1998, an Advisory Committee on Legal Education advised Hong Kong’s Chief Executive that a full-scale review of legal education was required. This was followed in 1999 by the Chief Justice’s call for law schools to: (i) admit fewer students; (ii) raise entry qualifi cations; and (iii) revise their professional training courses.1 By 2004, the Review had been conducted, radically altering the face of Hong Kong legal education.
