Michael Wilkinson obtained his undergraduate and masters’ degrees from Cambridge University. Having worked in academia in England and Africa he came to Hong Kong in 1983 and served as Head of the Department of Professional Legal Education at The University of Hong Kong for 13 years and Chairman of the Board of the Law Faculty for 8 years. He was a member of the Chief Justice’s Working Party on Civil Justice Reform and a member of the Law Reform Commission. When he reached the ripe old age of 70, he technically ‘retired’ but was appointed Adjunct Professor and continues to teach his full teaching load. He has also served the University as its Public Orator for the last seven years, a position that he continues to hold. He has written many books including Hong Kong Conveyancing Law and Practice and Cases and Materials (with Judith Sihombing) in 11 looseleaf volumes, The Professional Conduct of Lawyers in Hong Kong (with Michael Sandor) in five looseleaf volumes, Halsbury’s Civil Procedure (in four volumes), Advocacy and the Litigation Process (three editions, the last with Vandana Rajwani and Ray Pierce) and A Guide to Hong Kong Conveyancing (with Judith Sihombing) which went into its seventh edition in 2014. He loves his work and his students and refuses to stop.
