Previous NextHong Kong will soon have a comprehensive rule of law education system that will instill national awareness and identity, Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok said. The Department of Justice's Steering Committee on Rule of Law Education launched the first phase of courses under the Rule of Law Education Train-the-Trainers program late last month. The program allows participants from 20 groups responsible for young affairs and community services to learn about the coherence between China's constitution, the rule of law in Hong Kong, Basic Law and national security law. They will also learn the basic concepts of the mainland legal system and the "important parts" of the common law system in Hong Kong. Participants can become rule of law ambassadors of Hong Kong and help authorities tell good stories about the city.
