Features: The judicial examination since 2002 has always been thrilling, with new highlights each year, but all moving in the direction of more scientific and subjective question design. This makes case analysis questions, essays, and legal writing questions more important, yet these are often the weak points for many candidates. The increasing emphasis on subjective and theoretical assessment methods in Volume 4 is something we must all face. As a renowned judicial examination training institution, Beijing Wanguo School has a responsibility to help more people pass the exam. Volume 4 holds a special position in the judicial examination. An analysis of scores across all volumes reveals that Volume 4 is the part where candidates score the lowest. A more concerning issue is that many candidates who perform well in the first three volumes score low on Volume 4. The knowledge points tested in Volume 4 are actually consistent with those in the first three volumes, indicating that these candidates have no problem with their grasp of the material (as shown by their scores in the first three volumes). But why do they lose points on Volume 4? Through years of pre-examination tutoring, we have also found that many students lack confidence in Volume 4 and are eager to find the "tricks" to tackle it. This phenomenon has prompted us to reflect: how can candidates achieve high scores in Volume 4? The judicial examination of 2005 is approaching, and it is necessary to provide strong support for candidates. If we can help them improve their scores in Volume 4, it will undoubtedly be decisive for their success in passing the exam. During the review and preparation process, the following issues should be focused on regarding Volume 4:
First, the question types. Volume 4 includes case analysis questions, legal writing questions, and essays. For traditional case analysis questions, the primary assessment method is to provide a case and ask candidates to answer several questions based on it. These questions are usually numerous and interconnected, requiring candidates to have the ability to think calmly and analyze systematically. Legal writing questions and essays, on the other hand, were major changes in the question types for Volume 4 in 2003 and 2004. The 2003 judicial examination included a legal writing question that involved identifying errors. The traditional assessment method was to provide a case and ask candidates to draft legal documents themselves. In fact, legal writing questions had previously appeared in error-identification formats, and their reappearance in 2003 served as a reminder to candidates of the flexibility of judicial examination question design. Moreover, this question was closely tied to criminal law, requiring the application of criminal law knowledge to answer. This represents the direction of legal writing question design. Following the appearance of an essay question in 2003, the 2004 examination retained and increased the weight of this type of question, which is worth noting. In the long run, the increased emphasis on essays should be a positive development, signaling a stronger focus on assessing legal theory. This provides a reliable guarantee for selecting candidates with genuine expertise, solid theoretical foundations, and strong legal language skills through the judicial examination. This requires candidates to strengthen their theoretical knowledge during regular study and preparation and to engage in targeted training in this area. The revision of this book in 2005 has increased the proportion of example essays, with a total of 11 designed to help candidates better grasp the question design logic and answer methods for essays.
Second, the knowledge points. It must be clarified that the key knowledge points in Volume 4 are consistent with those in the first three volumes. This can be understood from two perspectives:
1. Weight distribution. Among the 14 main legal courses covered in the judicial examination, their importance varies. However, only civil and commercial law, criminal law, civil procedure law, criminal procedure law, administrative law and administrative procedure law, and international economic law can be tested in the case analysis questions of Volume 4, excluding essays. The weight distribution of these departments in Volume 4, excluding essays, is largely consistent with their weight distribution in the first three volumes.
2. Specific knowledge points.
