I'm looking for information about Hong Kong's court system.
Specifically, I'd like to know things like; what High Court is like, what the
judges wear, what the barristers/lawyers/solicitors wear, how the
court is addressed, if there are any major differences between US
courts and there, is there perceived corruption. I need to know
what it would feel like to be in court there-sights, sounds, etc...
I've read that sometimes it's very colorful because hip triad
criminals and glamorous movie stars are often indicted. Is it a media circus?

There is no answer at this time.

The legal system in HK is very similar to that in the UK - just have a
look to see what the system is like in the UK.

Standard wear for Barristers = Uk Barristers, Solicitors = suits.
Court sessions are in English and preceived corruption is very low. It
is one of the better legal jurisdictions in Asia, the other being
Singapore.

Court is conducted in a rather professional manner - no Matlock type
walking around for barristers etc etc.
