參觀完終審法院後，令我更加明白上訴機制保障了個人的權利和自由，而且部分案件容許公眾人仕旁聽聆訊，正反映出司法不但要行之公正，使其有目共睹亦同樣重要。香港的司法系統是由「法﹑理﹑情」並兼而行，「認罪求情」亦是影響判決的因素之一。 經此一行，令我深信香港司法制度是必須取得我們的信任及支持，社會才能延續發展。
After visiting the Court of Final Appeal, I have become more aware that the appeal mechanism protects the rights and freedoms of the individual. In some cases, the public is allowed to attend court hearings. It reveals "not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done." Law, justice and morality are not opposed. Mitigating circumstances will be considered in the trial. After the visit, I am more certain that the society can continue its development when we trust and support the Hong Kong judicial system.

在這次考察中，我最喜歡的部分是參觀終審法院大樓的圖書館。因為圖書館有許多有歷史價值的展品，例如大憲章的副本。另外，這是我第一次參觀法庭，環境非常莊嚴。這也是我第一次接觸法官，能親身聽其講解競爭法的社會意義確是難忘的經歷。
In the field trip, my favorite part was to visit the library of the Court of Final Appeal. There are many historically valuable exhibits in the library, such as a copy of the Magna Carta. In addition, this was my first visit to court rooms and the environment was very solemn. This was also the first time I had been in contact with a judge who explained the social significance of the competition law that was indeed an unforgettable experience.
