The fifteen Chinese lawyers who participated in the 2008-9 Programme have now finished their ten week placements in chambers, drawing to an end their eleven month programme in London. The end of the programme was marked by a week of social and educational activities, including a farewell lunch, a Moot Trial kindly led by the Inner Temple Student Mooting Society, a series of seminars in which the lawyers gave a “View from Legal China” and a networking reception. The lawyers were a hard working and enthusiastic group who enjoyed their stay in England, and who will return to China with a greater understanding of the legal system of England and Wales and the work of Barristers and with lasting friendships forged with the barristers and chambers who participated in the programme.
