Significant differences exist between the legal systems of the United States and other countries and in the types of legal entities established and recognized under those systems . Immigrant special-interest groups ( who refuse to distinguish between legal and illegal entry ) whine , however , that America is a nation of immigrants . Wherever and whenever such notions prevail , the distinction between legal and moral duty can at best be imperfectly realized . This Memorandum is a judicial arrangement between the two different jurisdictions within one sovereign state , and the arrangements were agreed after full consideration of the similarities and differences between the legal systems of the Mainland and Hong Kong , and the actual circumstances . The ability of a person to instruct counsel rests on his or her comprehension of the issues at hand , thereby making effective communication an essential component of all interactions between legal professionals and clients . After the resumption of sovereignty , the implementation of " one country , two systems " and the Basic Law has brought about interactions between the legal systems of the Mainland and Hong Kong . It seems sensible that one can be acquitted in a court of law and still be impeached and convicted in the Senate , as was Alcee Hastings , because there is a difference between the legal conclusion that one has violated the letter of the law that the larger community has codified and the political judgment that one has violated the compact between those who govern and the governed . The analysis of the overall compatibility between legal obligations assumed by WTO members and their commitments under FCCC would become increasingly pressing if emission reduction targets are agreed upon under a Kyoto protocol . The Legal Education Trust Fund has been working hard but at a low profile , shouldering the task of enhancing mutual understanding between the legal sectors in the Mainland and Hong Kong . Its purpose is to promote legal education in the Mainland and Hong Kong and develop a pool of talents proficient in the laws of the two places , so as to facilitate exchanges and communication between legal sectors of the two places , and enhance mutual understanding for the implementation of " one country , two systems " .
