Jiajun LUO
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong. My current research focuses on judicial politics and management in China’s contexts, judicial reform in China, and criminal justice in PRC. I have a general interest in law and politics in authoritarian states and China as a subject.
I was a visiting scholar at the Law School of Cornell University and an LLM (research-intensive) student from Peter Allard School of Law of the University of British Columbia. I obtained my LLB degree (summa cum laude) from China.
