Abstract

ABSTRACT This article investigates empirically the ethical values of law students in Hong Kong in their final two years of legal education. It first analyses the demographics of these law students before examining their responses to different ethical dilemmas. The findings suggest that feminisation has taken place in Hong Kong law schools. The study also found that a new generation of law students is emerging in Hong Kong that put more emphasis on the value of work-life balance. Finally, the article argues that common law education has enhanced the professionalism of law students in Hong Kong and has contributed to their development of such professional values as ‘professional integrity’, ‘obedience to the law’ and ‘civil duty’.

香港法律学生道德价值观的实证研究:普通法教育是否能提升他们的专业精神?

本文对香港法律系学生在法律教育的最后两年的道德价值观进行了实证研究。它首先分析了这些法律系学生的人口统计数据，然后考察了他们对不同道德困境的反应。研究结果表明，香港法学院出现了女性化现象。研究还发现，香港正在涌现新一代法律系学生，他们更加强调工作与生活平衡的价值。最后，文章认为普通法教育提高了香港法律专业学生的专业精神，促进了他们“职业操守”、“遵纪守法”和“民事责任”等职业价值观的发展。
