Law Society of Hong Kong
Established in 1907, The Law Society of Hong Kong () is the professional association and law society for solicitors in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Bar Association is the equivalent association for barristers in Hong Kong.
The Law Society is currently headed by President Stephen Hung and is located at Wing On House in Central.
==History==
It was formed on 8 July 1907 as a company limited by guarantee, and was then known as The Incorporated Law Society of Hong Kong. The present name was adopted in 1969.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Law Society of Hong Kong )〕
In 2014, the society underwent its first ever motion of no confidence in its president over his declared support for the white paper published by the PRC on the city's autonomy in which patriotism was a prerequisite for the territory's judges. Ambrose Lam's declaration appeared to be at odds with sentiment of its members, a thousand of whom marched in response to the white paper.〔http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/hk-legal-body-votes-to/1314618.html〕 Over 100 petitioners objected to Lam's politicisation of the Law Society, requesting that Lam withdraw his comments and reassert support for judicial independence. The tabler of the no confidence vote had expected Lam to be able to call on a large reservoir of proxy votes in his defence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lawyers back resign call over white paper )〕 At a meeting called for 14 August 2014, Lam suffered a surprising defeat in the non-binding vote calling for him to resign.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lam voted out as Law Society chief )〕 The motion was carried by 2,392 votes to 1,478, with almost half its members voting in person or by proxy.〔 There had been complaints of members receiving external pressure from Chinese companies, the central government Liaison Office, and .〔 Lam resigned on 19 August 2014, with neither an apology nor a retraction.
