2002

Law held the posts of Secretary for Education and Manpower (until 2002), and Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower (until 2006).

The post became permanent secretary in 2002, because of former chief executive Tung Chee Hwa's ministerial reforms.

2006

In late 2006, she was appointed Commissioner, Independent Commission Against Corruption.

She resigned from the post following a government inquiry into interference with academic freedom at the Hong Kong Institute of Education while she was Permanent Secretary.

However the Court of First Instance held that Law did not violate the institute's right to academic freedom when she contacted academics directly.

In early January 2006, two teachers committed suicide, three other teachers' suicides in 2005 were blamed on job-related stress.

Law rejected causal connections between the deaths by suicide of two teachers due to education reforms, saying: "If the prime reason [for the deaths] is education reforms, why have there been only two teachers who have committed suicide?"

Her comments caused a furore among teachers and the public.

She apologised on 10 January for her "inappropriate" remarks about the suicide of the two teachers.

7,500 – 15,000 teachers held a protest on 22 January against Law and the educational reforms.

Raymond H.C. Wong was appointed to replace her.

'I'm willing [to say sorry] as I really thought at the time 99.9% of Hongkongers would not be affected by the bill,' Law said, according to The South China Morning Post."

During her term of service, Law was responsible for large-scale reforms in education, Law was often criticized by educators who thought her ideas were out of touch with realities on the ground.

Some of her public speeches also provoked controversies; teaching union representatives called for her resignation on several occasions.
