Access to Hong Kong Law

The People’s Daily has just announced major improvements to the
Community Legal Information Center (CLIC), a community legal information website, run by the University of Hong Kong.

The China Information Technology and Law Center organized a completion ceremony for the website, which is also one of the activities celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The CLIC project is commissioned by the Hong Kong government and funded by the Department of Justice of the government under which the law center is to develop, host and maintain the website.

The bilingual website is a quick internet guide for the general public to find relevant legal information in Hong Kong. It helps citizens to acquire a basic understanding of the relevant law before seeking advice from lawyers, and it serves the purpose of informing the general public about where to seek free or subsidized legal assistance.
