as a foundation member in 2005, after serving as an Associate Professor in the School of Law at City University of Hong Kong for three years. He was foundation director of the first Juris Doctor (JD) programmes in Hong Kong, at both City University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Professor Hall is a fellow of C. W. Chu College at The Chinese University of Hong Kong where he also teaches a class on the origins of Western civilisation. Before coming to Hong Kong, he was a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales for six years where he was also Director of the European Law Centre. Professor Hall has been admitted as a barrister and solicitor in Australia, and practised law with the Australian Attorney-General\u2019s Department for nine years mainly in the areas of administrative law and judicial review. Professor Hall\u2019s areas of research and teaching interest are: contract law, international law, the traditions of the natural law and the common law, European and Roman legal history and European Union law. He is always happy to talk to students, over a cup of tea, about any of these topics and the connections between them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db54f02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db54f02\" 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 style=\" color: #ac1618;\">EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61f1c13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61f1c13\" 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<ul>\n<li>LLB (Queensland).<\/li>\n<li>LLM (Hons) (UTS).<\/li>\n<li>DPhil (Oxford).<\/li>\n<li>Admitted as a barrister in the High Court of Australia.<\/li>\n<li>Admitted as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43ad7f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43ad7f0\" 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><span style=\"color: #ac1618;\">AWARDS<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba85219 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba85219\" 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<ul>\n<li>University Education Award 2015.<\/li>\n<li>CUHK Vice-Chancellor\u2019s Exemplary Teaching Award 2014.<\/li>\n<li>CUHK Vice-Chancellor\u2019s Exemplary Teaching Award 2009.<\/li>\n<li>CUHK Research Excellence Award 2006.<\/li>\n<li>Visiting Fellow, Lauterpacht Research Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge, 2000.<\/li>\n<li>Visiting Professor, Tulane University Law School, Tulane University Law School Alumni Endowed Lecture Series, 1998.<\/li>\n<li>Australian Attorney-General&#8217;s Department, Postgraduate Study Award, 1993-1994.<\/li>\n<li>Commonwealth Scholar, University of Oxford, 1992-1994.<\/li>\n<li>Overseas Research Student Award, University of Oxford, 1992-1994.<\/li>\n<li>Australian Attorney-General&#8217;s Department, Permanent Secretary&#8217;s Academic Prize, 1991.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99537b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99537b1\" 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><span style=\"color: #ac1618;\">RESEARCH INTERESTS<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9912de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a9912de\" 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<ul>\n<li>Contract law<\/li>\n<li>International law<\/li>\n<li>Traditions of the natural law and the common law<\/li>\n<li>European and Roman legal history<\/li>\n<li>European Union law<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2741877 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2741877\" 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><span style=\"color: #ac1618;\">REPRESENTATIVE PUBLICATIONS <br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-930b730 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"930b730\" 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<ul><li>Stephen Hall, <em>Hong Kong Contracts Contrary to Public Morality and the Public Interest<\/em>, in M.
