Director’s Message
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Legal Studies (CILS) at the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law exists to promote and foster interdisciplinary legal research. We host and organize conferences, provide instructive workshops, build professional networks, and produce interdisciplinary research. Our affiliates and fellows work across a wide range of intersections between law and other scholarly disciplines. For more information, or to find out more about how to become involved with CILS, attend our events, or become a fellow, you may contact me at whalen@hku.hk.
