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 gained immense popularity 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 highly suitable for both the examination and guiding judicial practice. The core motivation behind the writing of this series by Professors Fu Ying and Wang Feng was to demonstrate their profound expertise and the "rigorous and pragmatic" nature of their work, as well as to enhance the effectiveness of the material in preparing for the exam. From the main content arrangement to the design of the format and the aesthetically pleasing cover style, every aspect of the book has captivated candidates, inspiring numerous publishers to imitate it.
One of the series, "Advanced Course for the National Judicial Examination," though named a "course," possesses an innovative layout 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 exam but also lay a solid professional foundation for future legal careers, it is because the book subtly conveys the invaluable legal thinking of a legal professional through its unique structure, narrative, and reasoning methods.
Some students complain that the series is too heavy and difficult to handle. However, it must be noted that the Judicial Examination has become increasingly challenging year by year and is no longer the same as the lawyer qualification exam from years ago. Under such circumstances, it is 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 but a misguided path. The two professors did not cater to or encourage this wrong mindset but continued to dedicate their efforts with a scientific and pragmatic attitude. The Kuihua Series, though called the "Kuihua Treasure," contains no trace of shortcuts or tricks.
"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 books in total). It is organized around the National Judicial Examination syllabus, based on laws, regulations, and supplementary judicial interpretations, and structured by subject. The content adopts academic consensus and creatively divides each 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 core, using concise language to illuminate the intrinsic logic of law and create a comprehensive learning framework. It helps students understand what knowledge to absorb to complete this framework and transform it into a firmly memorized knowledge system. Without this level, jumping directly into "key points" would yield poor results—this is precisely the significance of the Key Points Summary.
Level 2: Relevant Legal Provisions
This section compiles important legal provisions that may be tested, arranged scientifically for easy association and memorization. The Relevant Legal Provisions level organizes provisions related to the chapter based on their importance. The cited provisions include those commonly found in general "Judicial Examination Legal and Regulatory Compendia," as well as crucial parts not mentioned in those compendia but essential for solving special problems and understanding legislative intent, such as "Supreme People's Court Resolutions" and "Supreme People's Court Letters." Collecting comprehensive laws, regulations, and equally important yet overlooked "resolutions" and "letters" is a monumental task. Most judicial examination preparation books only reference the provisions in the "Legal and Regulatory Compendia" while ignoring equally vital or more easily understood and widely applied "resolutions" 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, easily confused, or potentially exam-related systems are also thoroughly addressed, enabling students to compare, generalize, and interconnect key knowledge for more efficient review. These efforts make the Relevant Legal Provisions level richer and more comprehensive than ordinary "Key Legal Provisions" books while being far more concise than general "Legal and Regulatory Compendia," fully replacing both.
Level 3: Legal Provision Commentary
This section interprets the relevant legal provisions. Based on the content of the Relevant Legal Provisions, it provides 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 overlooked points across related provisions, helping students not only memorize the provisions but also understand their essence. Memorizing and applying provisions with understanding—how could this fail?
Level 4: Chapter Puzzle Solving
This section fully explores the legislative intent and the examiners' question-setting logic, further clarifying the connections and applications of the provisions. The Chapter Puzzle Solving is the essence of the series. It distills key points, analyzes examination directions, explains why questions are posed from a certain angle, and provides strategies for more effective review. It ensures that all related knowledge points, including those easily overlooked, are covered comprehensively. These insights are presented concisely, with "Points to Note" highlighted in bold to explicitly point out easily misunderstood, ignored, or confused aspects.
Beyond fully absorbing the strengths of other judicial examination books and avoiding pitfalls, Professors Fu Ying and Wang Feng also broke new ground in language organization and narrative style, employing straightforward yet clear language to explain complex legal issues. Their ability is truly remarkable, revealing to students that law is not as obscure as they might think but a sacred field filled with wisdom, mission, and allure.
