Oxford-HKU Chinese Law Workshop for Junior Researchers (2026)

This workshop is organised by the Chinese Law Discussion Group (CLDG) at the University of Oxford and the Law and Technology Centre at the University of Hong Kong. It is also generously supported by Thornhill Legal, the European China Law Studies Association, and the University of Oxford China Centre. The workshop seeks to offer junior researchers a valuable opportunity to showcase their recent research and receive feedback from peers and more senior scholars, fostering academic growth and networking within this vibrant community. 

The workshop this year received 152 submissions, among which 21 papers were selected. As the papers to be discussed at the Conference are still works in progress, we kindly request that all workshop participants refrain from citing these drafts or distributing them further unless expressly permitted by the author. 

The workshop will feature a keynote speech by Professor Xin He, Mok Sau-King Professor in Law at the University of Hong Kong.
