The group was founded by solicitors Kevin Yam (任建峰), Jonathan Man (文浩正) and barrister Wilson Leung (梁允信), in 2015, after the Occupy Central Movement. It aims to project the voice of local law practitioners, and to uphold pro-democratic values in Hong Kong. The group have since then commented on major Hong Kong political events, such as the Causeway Bay Books disappearances, Copyright (Amendment) Bill 2014, the National Anthem Bill and the 709 crackdown.
