Features: The judicial examination is a professional qualification exam that primarily assesses the breadth and accuracy of legal knowledge. This characteristic determines that the exam content must mainly revolve around mandatory laws and regulations. The judicial examination changes every year, but the essence remains the same—the mandatory laws and regulations are the "core" of the exam. Many candidates have realized this point, but they have not mastered the correct study method centered on legal provisions. In many cases, after reviewing the legal provisions, they don’t know from which aspects to understand the meaning of the provisions, or where the key points of the provisions are, or the focus and angles of the questions. As a result, they lament that simply reviewing legal provisions is not very effective. Based on comprehensive research and analysis of the judicial examination and the practical experience of numerous successful candidates, this book provides candidates with a legal-provision-centered study method for the judicial examination, which is believed to offer practical and effective help. The greatest feature of this book is its four-in-one approach—legal provisions, question focus, past exam questions, and intensive mock questions—to comprehensively understand and master the key points, difficulties, and question-setting logic of the judicial examination, truly achieving a "one-stop" solution.
1. About Legal Provisions: This book ensures the completeness of the main laws while emphasizing key provisions. It also incorporates relevant judicial interpretations based on the designated Compendium of Mandatory Laws and Regulations for the Judicial Examination, interweaving them with related legal provisions and interpretations under each knowledge point. For example, under the crime of theft, after Article 264 of the Criminal Code, it lists Article 265, Paragraph 1 of Article 210, Paragraph 2 of Article 253, and Paragraph 3 of Article 196 of the Criminal Code as provisions related to theft. Additionally, judicial interpretations concerning theft and corresponding provisions from other judicial interpretations related to theft are included under the theft knowledge point. This ensures a comprehensive and convenient grasp of all legal provisions and judicial interpretations related to theft, which is highly beneficial for the exam.
2. About Question Focus: This book statistically analyzes the annual exam points and their corresponding scores for each department and chapter of the law. It further analyzes the key points, question focus, and angles of important provisions. By breaking down the key points related to a specific key provision and identifying the question focus, candidates can not only master the content of the provision from multiple perspectives but also understand the question-setting angles, truly improving their exam performance.
3. About Past Exam Questions: While analyzing the key points and question focus of each provision, this book also presents the relevant past exam questions and their answers. Based on the main key points of a question, it is categorized under the corresponding key point analysis, visually reflecting the importance of the knowledge point and its past exam trends. More importantly, it helps candidates understand the knowledge point through questions, grasp its key points, and master possible question-setting methods. Here’s a brief note on the role of past exam questions. Just as authentic TOEFL test questions are crucial for TOEFL preparation, past exam questions for the judicial examination are equally important for review and preparation. Studying past exam questions not only helps master the exam’s key points and trends but also allows for a deeper understanding of legal provisions. Additionally, the repetition of questions in the judicial examination is an objective reality—some questions are direct reproductions of previous ones, while others are merely slight modifications. This can be clearly seen through the summary of past exam questions in this book.
4. About Intensive Mock Questions: Referencing the requirements and characteristics of the judicial examination, this book develops intensive mock questions for key provisions, especially those that have not been tested yet. Through targeted and repeated practice, candidates can deepen their understanding and comprehensive mastery of the provisions.
5. About the Authors: All authors of this book are Ph.D. holders in relevant legal departments and have all passed the judicial examination with high scores, possessing systematic success experience and judicial examination tutoring experience.
6. About the Writing Approach: The writing approach of this book was inspired by Mr. Liu Yi’s works on breaking through bottlenecks and strengthening memory of English vocabulary, which have proven highly effective in the National English Proficiency Test (CET), TOEFL, and IELTS. Successful experiences tell us that legal provisions for the judicial examination are like vocabulary for English exams—both share significant similarities. We hope this book will help all candidates achieve their goals.
