Major aspects of the criminal process will be studied, and the focus throughout will be to contrast the theory of criminal law\/criminal process with law in practice. The divergence between theory and practice will provide the springboard to encourage students to explore the nature of legal rules, the culture of criminal justice organisations, and how the socio-political context in which criminal law operates influences the treatment of various groups within the criminal process. Areas of study will include criminal statistics, police powers of arrest, search, detention and interrogation, the structure, organisation and work practices of prosecutors and defence lawyers, plea bargaining, the operation of prisons, and the effectiveness of non-custodial punishments.<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Cyberlaw and Intellectual Property: Principles and Practice\n\t\t<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t\t<li class=\"posts\">This course of Cyberlaw (or Internet law) covers the legal issues related to use of the Internet. It will begin by considering the origins and development of information technology in the booming Internet economy, moving on to consider, through the key issue of cyber property, both how the law has responded to the challenges of information technologies, and the extent to which legal issues have shaped the development of information society policy.

Topics covered include: the Confucianist and anti-legalist traditions in China; the Greek\/Roman law beginnings of the Western civil and common law traditions; the subsequent development of systems of law and government in both China and the West; and an introduction to jurisprudential, sociological, and political science theories in relation to these. The course situates itself squarely within the history and culture of Hong Kong society so that students gain a broader understanding of history, culture, and law in Hong Kong\u2019s Chinese context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Issues in Contract\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">This course builds upon LAWS6021 Principles of Contract. By incorporating a more extended range of mandatory readings than undergraduate courses of similar length and a more research-focused assessment regime, this course is designed specifically for students at the postgraduate level who, apart from LAWS6021, have not previously studied the law of contracts as it applies in a common law jurisdiction. Throughout the course students will be expected to continue evaluating and discussing the part played by contracts in facilitating economic and social co-ordination in a free community with particular reference to Hong Kong\u2019s context at a level appropriate for postgraduate studies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Issues in Criminal Law\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">This course builds upon LAWS6022 Principles of Criminal Law. Drawing on a more extended range of compulsory readings than undergraduate courses of similar length and a more research-focused assessment regime, this course is designed specifically for students at the postgraduate level who, apart from LAWS6022, have not previously studied criminal law as it applies in a common law jurisdiction. Throughout the course students will be expected to deepen their understanding of the role of criminal law in society and the techniques used by the Common Law to resolve new fact situations and problems. The course involves a more extensive and in-depth exploration of the following topics: murder and manslaughter; offences of strict liability; corporate crime; fraud; blackmail; kidnapping; rape; and cyber crime. Special regard will be paid to areas of topical concern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Issues in Tort\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">This course builds upon LAWS6023 Principles of Tort. Throughout the course students will be expected to continue evaluating and discussing the part played by torts in maintaining and promoting (i) social and economic order; and (ii) responsible and respectful conduct, based on the community\u2019s own customs, traditions, and expectations. Students will: extend and deepen their understanding of several areas of tort law while being further introduced to the common law\u2019s methods, techniques, and core values; and develop their problem-solving, research, writing, and advocacy skills to a level appropriate for postgraduate study. This course involves a more extensive and in-depth exploration of the following topics: defamation; breach of statutory duty; nuisance; trespass (to persons, to land, and to goods); detinue; conversion; defences to intentional torts; and remedies for intentional torts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Principles of Art, Antiquities, Cultural Heritage and the Law\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">In recent years the term \u201ccultural heritage\u201d has been used in many domestic laws, international agreements, conventions and treaties, and academic works to refer indiscriminately to art and antiquities. This course considers the meaning of the terms \u201cart\u201d, \u201cantiquities\u201d and \u201ccultural heritage\u201d and the legal frameworks which affect them in Hong Kong and internationally. The course will consider issues affecting the ownership, transfer and protection of art, antiquities and cultural heritage in Hong Kong and the development of international measures intended to protect art, antiquities and cultural heritage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Principles of Intellectual Property\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">This course examines the principles underlying the group of causes of action which has become known as intellectual property. By incorporating a more extended range of mandatory readings than undergraduate courses of similar length and a more research-focused assessment regime, this course is designed specifically for students at the postgraduate level who have not previously studied Hong Kong intellectual property law. Topics covered include: major international treaties such as World Trade Organisation (WTO) Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement; Paris, Berne and other major conventions; and the causes of action as listed above. The course will take a contextual approach placing the study of intellectual property within the history and culture of Hong Kong society so that students gain a broader understanding of the role of intellectual property in Hong Kong\u2019s Common Law in a Chinese context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Principles of Unjust Enrichment\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">First officially recognized in 1990, this is a new cause of action to stand alongside contract and tort in the law of obligations. This is a new and interesting area of contemporary legal development. The following topics will be covered during this course: the place of unjust enrichment in the law of obligations; remedies; subrogation; what counts as an enrichment; how the enrichment must be at the expense of the plaintiff; unjust factors such as mistake, duress, undue influence, exploitation of weakness, failure of consideration, legal compulsion, public authority ultra vires activity, ignorance, and necessity; defences; and controversies such as the nature of tracing, the availability of proprietary remedies, and the question of leapfrogging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"months\">Transnational Law After Empire\n<ul class=\"archive_posts\">\n \t<li class=\"posts\">In this course, the connections between law, empire, and decolonisation \/ self-determination will be examined. The course has three basic parts. In Part I, we will establish an understanding of the basic concepts involved in the relationship between law and colonial systems. The historical background of colonial legal systems and their current and former international legal status will also be examined. In Part II, the course will look in more detail at the specific legal standards that developed under the conditions of colonialism, e.g. those related to slavery, restricted definitions of citizenship, capacity for territorial acquisition and native title, and others. Related academic theories and detailed historical studies will also be introduced. Part III, finally, will address the various forms that \u201cdecolonisation\u201d has taken at the domestic and international levels, and ask students to develop their own arguments regarding the best approach for legal systems transitioning towards self-determination.<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56edd38a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56edd38a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Students may select the above LLM in Common Law Elective Courses or any other approved courses offered under the JD or LLM Programmes.

They were more than willing to help me enhance my legal knowledge and help prepare me for the professional world. I found the courses to be very practical and highly relevant to my career. In addition, the Graduate Law Center, where the courses are held, is located in a very convenient area in the business district of Hong Kong. Learning Chinese Business Law in Hong Kong, which is one of the world\u2019s leading \u001ffinancial hubs and one of the leading economic hubs of Asia, was truly an invaluable experience for me.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Patcharanee.jpg\" alt=\"Patcharanee Jetiyanont (Thailand)\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Patcharanee Jetiyanont (Thailand)<\/span><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__title\">BBA (Thammasat), LLB and MM (Chulalongkorn), LLM (CUHK)<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">\"Having previously studied in a common law jurisdiction, the LLM in Chinese Business Law Programme has offered me an interesting comparison of how different legal systems would affect business decision-making in different\u00a0countries. Importantly, the LLM exposes me not only to PRC law, but also to the principles of European continental laws.<br>\n\nClasses are always interactive and the professors are very approachable and supportive. On top of that, I really appreciate the diversified and refreshing assessment methods adopted in class such as mock client presentations, in which I was able to gain hands-on experience of the law in action rather than just the law on the books. In terms of personal development, I was also impressed by the variety of outside-the-classroom opportunities provided by CUHK such as mooting and career workshops.
