On 12 January 2016, CCPL launched the first in a three-part "Dialogue Series on Hong Kong's Constitutional Future". Associate Professor Benny Tai was joined by Martin Lee (Founding Chairman of the Democratic Party and Legislative Councillor from 1985 - 2008) and Joshua Wong (Fonder of Scholarism) for a discussion on the Future of Hong Kong's Democracy. The three speakers represented three generations in the quest for Hong Kong’s democracy and took the opportunity to debate avenues that could lead towards a more democratic future in Hong Kong.
Attending the event were members of the public, legal practitioners, academics and members of the Faculty of Law's staff, including CCPL Director Puja Kapai and Visiting Professor and former CCPL Director Andrew Byrnes. Photos from the event can be found on the Centre’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ccplhk and the video can be viewed at https://youtu.be/pigl967i724.
