My Story
MICHAEL
HWANG SC is well known to the Hong Kong arbitration community from his frequent
visits and talks over the years. Last November he published a new book called
“Selected Essays in Dispute Resolution”, a collection of various essays written
by him over the years, mainly on the subject of international arbitration, but
also on other related topics which have attracted his interest over his 50
years in the law. As this volume was published to mark his 50th
anniversary as a practising lawyer, it opens with an essay on his reminiscenses
and reflections on his career as a lawyer. There then follows a diversity of
topics in international commercial and investment treaty arbitration which are
discussed. This volume also includes essays on Mediation and International and
Domestic Law, reflecting his broader interests in other areas of law. During
his tenure as President of the Law Society of Singapore between 2008-2010, he
also made a number of speeches on legal issues in Singapore, some of which are
also included in this volume.
The
launch took place in Singapore at the historic Old Parliament Chamber on 11
December 2018. The ceremony began with an introduction by the President of the
Law Society of Singapore. Gregory Vijayendran, and then an interview of Dr
Hwang by Dr Kevin Tan, Singapore’s foremost legal historian, followed by an
introduction to the book of essays by Dr Hwang, highlighting which essays might
be of particular interest to certain groups
This evening will
have a replay of the video of that event in Singapore with Dr Hwang in
attendance to add additional comments and answer questions and of course to
sign books for those who wish to acquire copies. As with his first volume, the
book is distributed on a complimentary basis,
but those who acquire copies are invited to make donations of HKD 600 to a Hong Kong charity, Mother’s Choice.
