Foundation course of fourth phase of Rule of Law Education Train-the-Leaders Programme concluded

Themed "Rule of Law Education (ROLE) Stars", the foundation course of the fourth phase of the ROLE Train-the-Leaders (TTL) Programme organised by the Department of Justice (DoJ) was concluded today (June 27).

The two-day foundation course was attended by about 120 trainees from district youth committees in the 18 districts, the Lions Clubs International District 303 Hong Kong & Macao, China, and the Rotary International District 3450. A number of trainees said the course content, supplemented by concrete and daily examples, was practical and easy to understand. The course has deepened their understanding on the principles of the rule of law, enabling them to convey correct messages on the rule of law to others through different roles in the community.

Led by the Secretary for Justice, Mr Paul Lam, SC, the foundation course of the TTL Programme was launched yesterday (June 26). Mr Lam as the speaker briefed the trainees on important topics such as the rule of law and the Hong Kong legal system. Member of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Basic Law Committee under the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) and Legislative Council Member, Professor Priscilla Leung, also briefed trainees on the legal system of the Chinese Mainland and functions of state institutions such as the NPC.

On the second day of the TTL Programme, the Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, together with renowned host and columnist Maggie Chang, equipped trainees with teaching and communication skills in disseminating messages on the rule of law, and shared their insights and practical experiences. Member of the Steering Committee on Rule of Law Education and barrister, Ms Sabrina Ho, and solicitor, Ms Roberta Chan, also took part as speakers to explain topics including Hong Kong's court proceedings, the legal profession and alternative dispute resolution services. The trainees then participated in an interactive session comprising group discussions and exchanges.

The certificate presentation ceremony of the TTL Programme was held after the talks, with Mr Lam presenting certificates to trainees who had completed the two-day foundation course.

Looking ahead, the DoJ will continue to maintain close collaboration with relevant government departments and community stakeholders to promote rule of law education, enhance the public's understanding and application of proper messages on the rule of law, and instil a law-abiding culture through diverse initiatives, hence working hand in hand with various sectors to uphold the rule of law in society.
