On 8^th February 2023, Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau was pleased to invite college affiliate, Dr. Chio Keong CHIN (FLL) to watch a popular film: “A Guilty Conscience” with students at the cinema.  The legal thriller depicts the story of an attorney (known for his sharp tongue) who mishandled a child abuse case, causing the innocent defendant to be imprisoned for 17 years due to his negligence.

A post-screening review was held by Dr. Chin at the college who guided students to rethink the film from a legal perspective.  He answered various questions from students, such as why there is a jury in Hong Kong, what is legal privilege. During the discussion, Dr. Chin focused on justice and ethics.  He concluded that although the lawyer was not “professional” in handling cases, however he did sought justice in the end.
