Mediation Conference 2020 “Mediate First – More Than You Can Imagine” (2020)

Legal Week 2020
 
 
The COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted lives of many around the world. Yet, amidst the difficult times, we rise to the challenges and aspire to carry on business as usual. The Hong Kong Legal Week 2020, with a range of dedicated events for professionals and practitioners, will be held virtually from 2 to 6 November 2020.
 
Cherishing the importance of the rule of law as a core value of Hong Kong, the opening of the Hong Kong Legal Week 2020 will feature the official launch of “Vision 2030 for Rule of Law", a ten-year visionary initiative, which is a commitment by the Department of Justice to building and maintaining a fair and rule-based society underpinned by the rule of law through collaboration with stakeholders towards sustainable development for all.
