Kwok Wai-kin (born 1959) is a District Judge in Hong Kong. He read law at the University of Hong Kong, graduating with an LLB in 1981 and a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws in 1982, the year he was called to the Hong Kong Bar. He practised from 1983 to 1992. He joined the Judiciary in 1992 as a Permanent Magistrate, and in 1999 was appointed a Principal Magistrate, overseeing the operation of the magistracy. On 17 September 2012 he was appointed a District Judge, handling criminal and civil cases in the District Court. Judge Kwok has presided over a number of high-profile cases concerning sedition. He tried the Stand News case on charges of conspiracy to publish seditious material, convicting former chief editor Chung Pui-kuen, acting chief editor Lam Siu-tung and the relevant company, and finding a number of the articles to be seditious; he also tried the "Sheep Village" picture-book case, convicting three speech therapists of publishing seditious material and imposing custodial sentences. The District Court deals with criminal cases of moderate seriousness and civil claims of moderate value and is an important part of Hong Kong's court system. Having moved from the Bar to the magistracy and then to the posts of Principal Magistrate and District Judge, Judge Kwok has experience at different levels of court. Judicial appointments in Hong Kong are made by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the independent Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. Appointed a Permanent Magistrate in 1992 and a Principal Magistrate in 1999, he served in the magistracy for two decades before his appointment as a District Judge in 2012. In the "Sheep Village" picture-book case, he sentenced three speech therapists to nineteen months' imprisonment each.
