Justice Bao

As one enters the reception area of Chooi & Company, the eye is drawn to an impressive painting of Justice Bao Zheng, popularly known as Bao Gong. Justice Bao was a man of integrity renowned across the kingdom for his intolerance towards injustice and corruption.

This painting by the artist Chung Cheng San entitled A mirror into the conscience of officials was dedicated to the founding partner of Chooi & Company, Chooi Mun Sou.

The painting serves as a reminder to all those who practice law at Chooi & Company that lawyers have the ability, and therefore the responsibility, to serve society through the law.

AD 999 – AD 1062

A native of Anhui Province, and born in the period of China’s Northern Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng was awarded the degree of Jinshi at the age of 28, after successfully passing the Imperial Examinations at national level. He was thereafter appointed the magistrate of Tianchang County, governor of Luzhou and Kaifeng, and held several other official appointments.

Bao Zheng, popularly known as Justice Bao, was renowned for his integrity and incorruptibility. Not once in his entire judicial career did he yield to power or influence, and without fear or favour meted out severe punishment to those found guilty of crimes, even members of the Royal Family. In chinese literature, Justice Bao has come to symbolise the virtues of fairness, independence and impartiality.
