Features: Take it back, this book will change your life. The early prototype of the Kuihua Series for the Judicial Examination was the "Outline of the National Lawyer Qualification Examination" co-authored by Professors Fu Ying and Wang Feng. It was internally printed in Beijing from 1997 to 2000 and was wildly popular among candidates in the capital. Due to strong demand from candidates, it was officially published in 2003. Later, the two professors personally revised and oversaw its multiple reprints.
The Kuihua Series for the Judicial Examination is guided by a scientific layout and is a highly suitable series for both the judicial examination and guiding judicial practice. The core motivation behind the writing of this series by Professors Fu Ying and Wang Feng was to demonstrate the rigor and practicality of their work through profound knowledge among numerous exam preparation materials, while also enhancing the effectiveness of the textbook in addressing the exam. From the main content arrangement to the design of the format and the aesthetically pleasing cover style, the book has won the hearts of candidates and inspired many publishers to follow suit.
One of the series, "Advanced Course for the National Judicial Examination," though named a "course," features an innovative layout system and an exceptionally rich knowledge base, surpassing ordinary exam preparation books. Its professionalism is sufficient to serve as a college-level law textbook. If students study this book diligently, accumulate knowledge, and not only master the judicial examination but also lay a solid professional foundation for future legal careers, it is because the book subtly imparts the invaluable legal thinking of a legal professional through its unique structure, narrative, and reasoning methods while teaching legal knowledge.
Some students complain that the series is too heavy and difficult to handle. However, it must be noted that the difficulty of the judicial examination has been increasing year by year and is no longer the same as the lawyer qualification examination of years ago. Under such circumstances, it is nearly impossible to pass the exam through short-term cramming. Relying on a book that simply highlights "essentials" or "key points" and expecting to pass the exam through brief cramming is nothing more than taking a detour. The two professors did not cater to or encourage such a mistaken mindset but continued to dedicate their efforts with a scientific spirit and a pragmatic attitude. The Kuihua Series, though called the "Kuihua Bible," contains no trace of shortcuts or gimmicks.
The "Advanced Course for the National Judicial Examination" includes:
- Civil Law
- Criminal Law
- Civil Procedure Law and Arbitration Law
- Criminal Procedure Law
- Administrative Law and Administrative Procedure Law
- International Law · Private International Law · International Economic Law
- Commercial Law and Economic Law
- Jurisprudence · Legal History · Constitution · Legal Ethics (8 volumes in total). It is organized around the national judicial examination syllabus and based on laws, regulations, and (supplementary judicial interpretations). The content is written according to subject categories.
The book adopts academic consensus and creatively divides the layout of each subject chapter into four levels:
Level 1: Key Points Summary
This section lists the relatively important points of the chapter. The brilliance of the Key Points Summary lies in its direct focus on the chapter's key points, using concise language to clarify the intrinsic logic of law and create a complete learning framework. It helps students understand what knowledge to absorb during review to fill this framework and solidify it in memory. Without this level, jumping directly into "key points" would yield poor results—this is precisely the significance of the Key Points Summary.
Level 2: Related Legal Provisions
This section compiles important legal provisions that may be tested, arranged scientifically for easy association and memorization. The Related Legal Provisions level organizes potentially examinable provisions based on their importance, grouped by key points. The cited provisions include those found in general "Judicial Examination Laws and Regulations Compilation" as well as those not mentioned there but crucial for solving special problems and understanding legislative intent, such as "Supreme People's Court Replies" and "Supreme People's Court Letters." Collecting comprehensive laws, regulations, and equally important yet overlooked "replies" and "letters" is a monumental task. Most judicial examination preparation books only reference the provisions in the "Judicial Examination Laws and Regulations Compilation" while ignoring equally vital or more easily understood and widely used "replies" and "letters." Professors Fu Ying and Wang Feng keenly recognized the importance of this content. Additionally, under a specific legal system, besides the relevant laws and regulations, provisions from closely related legal systems that are easily confused, may serve as exam points, are also given thorough attention. This allows students to compare, generalize, and interconnect important knowledge, achieving twice the result with half the effort. These efforts make the Related Legal Provisions level richer and more comprehensive than ordinary "Key Legal Provisions" books while being far more concise than general "Laws and Regulations Compilations." It can fully replace both "Key Legal Provisions" and "Laws and Regulations Compilations."
Level 3: Legal Provision Commentary
This section provides interpretations of the related legal provisions. Based on the content of the Related Legal Provisions, it offers authoritative explanations of the true meaning of the provisions, avoiding misunderstandings and preventing students from getting stuck in dead ends. It also highlights easily confused or incorrect points by connecting relevant provisions, enabling students not only to memorize the provisions but also to understand their essence. How can one fail when studying with such clarity?
Level 4: Solving the Mystery of This Section
This section fully explores the legislative intent and the examiners' reasoning, further clarifying the connections and applications of the provisions. This is the core of the series. For each section, it distills key points, analyzes examination directions, explains why questions are posed from this angle, and provides strategies for more effective review. It ensures that all related knowledge points, even those easily overlooked, are covered while reviewing. These insights are presented concisely, and "Points to Note" in bold type clearly indicate easily misunderstood, overlooked, or confused aspects of the knowledge.
Beyond fully absorbing the strengths of other judicial examination books and avoiding pitfalls, Professors Fu Ying and Wang Feng also excel in language organization and narrative style, employing plain yet clear language to explain complex legal issues. Their ability is truly remarkable, revealing to students that law is not as obscure as it may seem in ordinary eyes or books but is instead a sacred field filled with wisdom, mission, and allure.
