This debate league is a large-scale and far-reaching event in the legal field. Lawyers associations in 21 cities across the province formed a total of 23 teams, and 92 contestants participated in the competition. For the first time, the Greater Bay Area Lawyers participated, making this competition even more special. After two and a half months of fierce competition, the competition was divided into three stages: preliminary, semi-finals and finals, with a total of 21 exciting duels.
In this contest of knowledge and wisdom, four teams including two teams from Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai Lawyers Association stood out and advanced to the eye-catching finals.
On 9 December 2023, the highly anticipated finals of the Guangdong Lawyers Debate League finally took place. In this high-level debate, the Guangzhou Lawyers Association’s Team No. 2, to which Mr. Ling belonged, won the championship with its outstanding performance. Mr. Ling not only helped the team win the final victory but also won the “Outstanding Debater Award” and the “Outstanding Performance Award”, which fully reflected his profound foundation and outstanding talent in the legal professional areas.
Speaking of the experience of this competition, Mr. Ling shared his feelings and thoughts:
We sincerely thank the leaders for attaching great importance to the league, the meticulous organization of the Provincial Lawyers Association, the preparation and implementation of the municipal Lawyers Association, the technical and tactical guidance of the coaching team, the mutual support between teammates, and the support and care of colleagues in the firm. As Greater Bay Area lawyers, we feel very honored to be able to present a wonderful competition to the audience with other debaters in the semi-finals and finals.
We as Greater Bay Area lawyers are amazed by the high level of professionalism in the league!
The pace of the game is lightning fast and the atmosphere is exciting. Although all the debaters have different styles, they are each wonderful in their way. The lawyers’ debate demonstrated in the league is both an art and a science, which is fascinating at first sight.
We believe that the teaming up of Mainland lawyers and Greater Bay Area lawyers to participate in the league is another successful practice and attempt to connect the rules and mechanisms of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It shows that Mainland lawyers and Greater Bay Area lawyers an cooperate seamlessly and take the performance to a higher level jointly.
