Ambrose Lam San-keung (Chinese: 林新強; born August 1961[3]) is a Hong Kong solicitor who served as the member of Legislative Council, representing Legal constituency.

[14] His views sparked widespread criticism from the legal sector, of which many believed that the judiciary should not be counted as part of the administration due to Hong Kong's separation of powers.

[13] On 5 May 2014, in a press conference on 2014 Hong Kong electoral reform consultation, then-President of the Law Society Ambrose Lam was asked about the Council's views towards the “love your country” requirement for Chief Executive Candidates in the 2017 Hong Kong Chief Executive election by a TVB Pearl News reporter in English.

As a result of the incident, Lam was nicknamed "clown" by some of his critics,[16] and has led to questions about Hong Kong's status as an Asia’s World City.

[17] Lam said that there should be a blanket ban on all overseas lawyers from taking part in national security cases, after Jimmy Lai was blocked from hiring Tim Owen.
