Welcome to the website of the
Department of Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The rule of law is a core
value of our community. It is also the cornerstone of Hong Kong's success as a
leading international financial centre. Under the principle of "One
Country, Two Systems" which is enshrined in the Basic Law, Hong Kong enjoys
independent judicial power including the power of final adjudication. It
remains a common law jurisdiction within China.
The Department of Justice
plays a significant role in our legal system. The Department gives legal advice
to other bureaux and departments of the Government, represents the Government
in legal proceedings, drafts government bills, makes prosecution decisions, and
promotes the rule of law. It is an important policy objective of the Department
to enhance Hong Kong's status as a regional centre for legal services and
dispute resolution.
This website provides a wealth
of information on our legal system and the work of the Department. You can also
find here our latest news. We hope you will enjoy browsing our website and find
the information useful.
Rimsky Yuen, SC, JP
