The Hon. Madam Justice Pang, Justice of Appeal

Successful practitioners with much to contribute to our legal profession.

"I would like to convey my warmest congratulations both to you and the others who run this successful CPE programme and to all the graduates. No doubt all of them must have worked very hard to be able to get on the stage of the Graduation Ceremony but there is also no doubt that there will be more challenges ahead in their legal career. However, with stamina and diligence, I am sure that they will all turn out to be successful practitioners with much to contribute to our legal profession in due course.

The CPE programme was a very, if not the most, important bridge in my pursuit of the legal career without which I would still be engaging in non- legal work. I am therefore truly happy for the graduates and would like to meet them in person. However, I regret to say that owing to my other commitments, I would not be able to attend the Graduation Ceremony on 5 December 2021. Nonetheless, this bond through the CPE programme is always there and I wish all the graduates a long, successful, and satisfying legal career."

Message from The Honourable Madam Justice Pang, Justice of Appeal of the Court of Appeal of the High Court and graduate of the CPE programme (now known as the Graduate Diploma in English and Hong Kong Law) to the HKU SPACE/MMU Graduation Ceremony on 5 December 2021.
