Established jointly by HKU's Faculty of Law and the Department of Computer Science, CLIC is a bilingual community legal information web-site and a quick internet guide for the general public to find relevant legal information in Hong Kong. It helps citizens to acquire a basic understanding of the relevant law before seeking advice from lawyers. It also serves the purpose of informing the general public about where to seek free or subsidized legal assistance.
CLIC is established by the Centre (jointly run by the Faculty of Law and the Department of Computer Science) of the HKU. The project is commissioned by the Government under which the Centre is to develop, host and maintain the website as an adjunct to the HKLII (Hong Kong Legal Information Institute), a popular research tool by the legal profession also maintained by the Centre.
The project also owes its success to the Department of Justice of HKSAR Government for their funding assistance and substantial contribution to the establishment of the website.
Since its first launch in 2005, the development of the website has reached a major milestone and the content of the website has substantially expanded to 21 categories including Bankruptcy & Winding Up, Consumer Complaints, Hong Kong Legal System, Employment Disputes, Insurance, Landlord & Tenant, Legal Aid, Matrimonial Matters, Personal Injuries, Police & Crime, Sale and Purchase of Property, Taxation and many others.
Members of the public can also check out for information on where to seek free legal assistance, and how to get a lawyer from the CLIC Website.
