9judicial appointments, with the present and past 2 Chief Justices appointed from our former members. Senior members continue to take up important appointments in statutory bodies and the community, and have been serving our people in different ways with customary skill, wisdom and dedication. Our members continue to hold the firm belief that the Bar is no mere business or enterprise, but a profession %u2013 a calling and responsibility to something of far greater value than just ourselves and our particular sector. I am confident that the fundamental values and the role we play will remain unchanged. The HKBA has discharged important societal functions in upholding the rule of law and the administration of justice over the past 75 years. Long may this continue. Victor Dawes SCChairman of theHong Kong Bar AssociationPrologue
