Understanding the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal & Upholding the Rule of Law

A truly wonderful chance for our P6 students to pay the visit to the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal to bring even closer look on its history, operation and architectural features of legal institutions. Certain parts of the institute were opened up for students to visit with the professional guide who shared lots of complicated legal knowledge with simple words , which has  enriched the student’s understanding the importance on obeying the law. 

Students have visited the following places:

  1. The Court of Final Appeal: court settings including the court lobby, the registration office, the press room and so on;
  2. Exhibition Gallery: precious displays of historical photos and cultural relics introducing the history and operation of the legal institutions;
  3. Architectural Heritage Gallery: displays of architectural design and construction technology of the court building showcasing the history and transformation of it;
  4. Library: existing library transformed from a former prison cell and about 10,000 books there mainly used by judges of the Court and officials of legal institutions.
