Legal Thinkers’ Seminar provides a venue for colleagues from the CUHK and other universities to discuss legal thinkers who have been influential for their scholarship. It focuses on central figures in legal theory and methodology. The seminar attracted more than 150 participants and introduced some of the major ideas of MacCormick’s scholarly work. It also discussed his legacy to the tradition of the “democratic intellect”, one in which pluralism, open enquiry, and reasoned debate were paramount virtues.
