裁判官(2014年起)

繁體中文

鄭金蓮(Catherine Cheng Kam-lin)女士,香港裁判官,在香港出生。她一九八五年在香港大學取得文學士學位,一九九一年及一九九二年在香港大學分別取得法學士學位及法學專業證書,一九九六年在北京大學取得法學士學位;二○○九年成為中國委任的見證人員,二○一二年在香港國際仲裁中心取得認可的家事調解員資格。她一九九四年在香港取得事務律師資格,同年開始私人執業,二○一四年十一月二十日獲委任為常任裁判官,任命由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦作出。 鄭金蓮的資歷兼具本地與內地法律元素:她除在香港大學修讀法律外,亦在北京大學取得法學士學位,並成為中國委任的見證人員,另具備家事調解員資格。這些背景使她處理涉及內地法律事務或家事性質的個案時,具備相關的學養與認識。她由事務律師出身,在私人執業約二十年後才加入司法機構,實務經驗豐富。 裁判法院是香港的初級刑事法院,處理絕大部分刑事案件,並就部分民事及小額程序行使司法管轄權。香港各級法院的法官及司法人員,均由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的獨立推薦而委任,任命以《基本法》為依據;第八十八條及第九十二條分別就任命的推薦機制及選用準則作出規定。鄭金蓮由香港大學與北京大學兩地培育,兼備普通法與內地法律的學習背景,在司法人員中較為少見,也反映香港作為國際法律樞紐對跨法域人才的需求。

English

Miss Catherine Cheng Kam-lin is a magistrate in Hong Kong, born in Hong Kong. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Hong Kong in 1985, an LL.B. and a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws from the University of Hong Kong in 1991 and 1992 respectively, and an LL.B. from Peking University in 1996. She became a China Appointed Attesting Officer in 2009 and an accredited family mediator with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre in 2012. She was admitted as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 1994 and began private practice the same year, and on 20 November 2014 was appointed a Permanent Magistrate, by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. Cheng's credentials combine both local and Mainland legal elements: besides reading law at the University of Hong Kong, she obtained an LL.B. from Peking University and became a China Appointed Attesting Officer, and she also holds family mediation credentials. These give her relevant grounding in cases involving Mainland legal matters or family-related issues. Coming from a career as a solicitor of some twenty years before joining the Judiciary, she brings rich practical experience. The magistracy is Hong Kong's court of first instance for criminal matters, handling the great majority of criminal cases and exercising jurisdiction in certain civil and small claims procedures. All judges and judicial officers are appointed by the Chief Executive on the independent recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission, under the Basic Law, whose Articles 88 and 92 set out the recommendation mechanism and the criteria for selection. Trained at both the University of Hong Kong and Peking University and with a background in both the common law and Mainland law, Cheng is relatively uncommon among judicial officers, reflecting the demand of an international legal hub for cross-jurisdictional talent.
