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 recognized this point, but they have not mastered the correct method of studying with legal provisions as the center. In many cases, even 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, analysis, and the practical experience of numerous successful candidates, this book provides candidates with a legal-provision-centered review 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 making it a "one-stop" guide.
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 related to theft and corresponding provisions from other judicial interpretations concerning theft are also included under the theft knowledge point. This ensures that the legal provisions and judicial interpretations related to theft are very comprehensive and easy to grasp, 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. Based on this, it analyzes the key points, question focus, and angles of important provisions. It breaks down the key points involved in one or more provisions of a key legal provision and identifies the question focus. This approach allows candidates to grasp the content of the provision from multiple perspectives while understanding 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 displays 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 in the analysis section. This visually reflects the importance of the knowledge point and its past exam performance, which is more importantly helpful for candidates to understand the knowledge point through questions, grasp the key points of the knowledge point, and master possible question-setting methods. In passing, let me mention the role of past exam questions. Just as authentic TOEFL exam questions are crucial for preparing for the TOEFL exam, past exam questions for the judicial examination are also very important for review and preparation. Studying past exam questions not only helps master the key points and trends of the judicial examination but also allows for a deeper understanding of the 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, it aims to deepen the understanding and comprehensive mastery of the legal provisions.
5. About the Authors: All the 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 the memory of English vocabulary, which have proven highly effective in the National English Proficiency Test (CET), TOEFL, and IELTS exams. Successful experiences tell us that legal provisions for the judicial examination are like vocabulary for English exams—both share many similarities. We hope this book can help all candidates achieve their goals.
