Features: From the content of the manuscript, it can be seen that the compilers of this series started from the needs of readers and put a lot of effort into it. Although there are still shortcomings in aspects such as "Essential Topics," "Expert Opinions," and "Basis Guidance," this new-structured legal book series provides basic clues for legal professionals to quickly find relevant information, truly serving as a consultant and assistant. It is hoped that the publisher will continue to organize this series and keep revising and improving it in the future. — Li Guoguang, Former Vice President of the Supreme People's Court
Law is a highly applied science. It is not enough for law students to study legal principles; they must familiarize themselves with the adjudicative basis of relevant legal categories as soon as possible during their time in school or after entering the workforce. In this sense, this series is an appropriate textbook for pre-job training. — Chen Guangzhong, Lifetime Professor of China University of Political Science and Law
During our exchanges with foreign lawyers, we learned that the legal books they commonly use are index-based. These books typically do not contain lengthy discussions but instead present questions and inform users where to find the relevant materials or cases and basis. This may be related to the advanced information technology in foreign countries. The expert tips and basis guidance combined form of this series not only draws on the writing methods of similar foreign books but also considers the actual needs of Chinese readers, making it worth recommending to lawyers. — Gao Zongze, President of the All-China Lawyers Association
I know many of the authors of this series. As their academic peers and colleagues, I am happy to see them complete such a heavy and meaningful task in their spare time. — Jing Hanju, Vice President of the Hebei High People's Court
Astute clients usually seek preliminary opinions from target lawyers on legal matters before hiring them to decide whether to engage the lawyer. This is a test for lawyers. To win such business, they must prepare thoroughly in a short time. The "Advanced Assistant Series for Legal Professionals" can provide this help. — Li Ping, Head of the China Practice at Paul, Denecke & Partner (P.D.Hall & Co.) International Law Firm
Comprehensive consideration of factors such as the breadth of coverage and key and difficult issues in judicial practice has led to the selection of eighteen commonly used legal categories for separate book compilation in the first batch of this series. The argument structure for each legal category lists questions, which are divided into two parts: "Essentials" and "Basis Guidance."
The "Essentials" topics are questions set based on current legal documents (main ideas of articles) and other difficult issues that may arise in judicial practice. On the surface, these topics do not seem as targeted as question-and-answer or case-based questions, and some even resemble dry terms. However, these topics are actually the "points" of each legal category, and any practical issue in a legal category can be categorized under these "points." The content of the topics is not written in the form of lengthy academic monographs or papers but is presented in the form of expert opinions, concisely explaining legal principles and pointing out issues to be noted in judicial practice.
The "Basis Guidance" section lists the specific legal basis related to the topics as comprehensively as possible. The legal basis in our country is multi-layered, including laws formulated by the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee, administrative regulations, departmental rules, and normative documents passed by the State Council and its departments, as well as judicial interpretations issued by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. Among these bases, laws naturally have the highest level of authority. However, some legal provisions are relatively general, and the understanding and handling of many specific issues in practice still require supplementary basis from administrative and judicial departments. Therefore, the "Basis Guidance" section clearly identifies the names, issuance dates, and issuing departments of all the above basis and includes the specific article content applicable to the essential topics (for some larger topics that require referencing the full text of the basis or belong to uncommon specialized issues, to save space, we have only noted the name, issuance date, and issuing department of the basis, and the specific article content is omitted. Readers can find it in the specific topics later or in other legal compendiums).
With the clear framework of the "Essentials" topics, the authoritative expert opinions on legal principles, and the detailed and specific legal basis, the complete system of each legal category in the series is formed. We believe that this innovative format for legal books can largely meet the practical needs of legal professionals and become their convenient and practical consultants.
It should be noted that due to the large number of legal categories covered in this series and the extensive writing workload, some of the authors come from judicial practice departments, while others come from teaching and research departments, belonging to different industries and professions. Although we strive for uniformity in the writing style, there are still obvious differences in language style and expression among different books. Additionally, the cut-off date for the materials used in this series is November 2004. We hope that experts and readers engaged in legal practice will provide us with valuable feedback in a timely manner to allow for revisions and corrections in the event of a second edition.
