The Cambridge University Asian Lawyers Association was founded at the beginning of 1998, under the auspices of Dr Stephanie Palmer of Girton college. Mr Justice Andrew Li, sit on our board of patrons.
Membership is open to all students, regardless of their course of study or race.
The Association aims to achieve these objectives through the organisation of informative talks and seminars by distinguished faculty members, law alumni and speakers, as well as holding social events. There will also be opportunities for members to voice their opinions on general issues of law and current issues of law in Asia through allocated discussion time during meetings and through a newsletter, to be produced every term. The Association further aims to help members source out training contacts and work attachment opportunities in Asia by building a contacts file . The Cambridge University Asian Lawyers Association, established at the beginning of 1998 has organised a six day fact-finding trip to Hong Kong, 6th to 13th December. 1997 was a very momentous and exciting year for Hong Kong and we are keen to follow up on the changes and challenges that the special administrative region has had to face since the handover, and in particular, how the legal and political systems have been developing.
