何耀明強調:「事實上,無論過去或現在,法律學院都關注貢獻香港社會的使命......特別是作為法律專業,有時或要犠牲以全球為焦點的研究作為代價。但要作出如此的取捨,法學院亦引以為傲。」(The faculty was, and is, aware that serving its mission to contribute to the Hong Kong community … and the legal profession in particular might mean that it will sometimes be at the expense of doing more work with a global focus......it is a trade-off the faculty is proud to make.)
