An Introduction to the Legal Profession

Beyond legal knowledge itself, students are also keen to know what exactly they will study at university and what kinds of careers they can pursue in the future.

Drawing on his own academic experience, Mr. Adrian outlined the curriculum of the University of Hong Kong’s law program to the students.

People with different personalities and interests all have the opportunity to find a role that suits them in this field.

During the interactive Q&A session, students enthusiastically posed questions about major selection, university life, and their future career prospects.
