Prof. Geraint Howells, Dean of the Law School, warmly welcomed the new students to the Law School family in the orientation. In his speech, he advised the students to take advantage of opportunities that the School provides. To LLB and JD students, he strongly recommended them to take part in the G-LEAP programme, legal placement, and international mooting competitions. “Make lasting friendships. Enjoy your study. Develop your skills, soft networking skills included. Keep your options open. Gain international exposure and look out for opportunities.” Prof. Howells hoped that students not only study law, but also engage with the law and a wide range of activities.
Later on, the LLB, JD, and PCLL programme directors also welcomed the new students and set out their expectations. The LLB Programme Director and Associate Director, Prof. Kelvin Low and Ms. Anna Lui, encouraged the freshmen to read a lot and widely. The JD Programme Director and Associate Director, Dr. Mark Kielsgard and Ms. Sara Tsui, reminded the new students to ask teachers questions if they do not understand course material.
