Features: How can candidates for the self-taught examination in law easily and joyfully pass the criminal law exam and thereby master the key points of criminal law for future practical application? This has been a persistent question we have pondered. Through years of teaching practice, we have selected and compiled a collection of carefully chosen cases, accompanied by incisive analysis. After reading and understanding these cases, candidates can generally achieve the following goals:
1. Pass the self-taught examination in criminal law. In the self-taught examination questions, case analysis accounts for a high proportion of the score, appearing as both standalone questions and scattered within multiple-choice questions. Compared to other objective memorization-based questions, case analysis is a subjective comprehension-based type. With thorough preparation, a high score is highly achievable. This is crucial for, where a passing score is set at 60.
2. Confidently face criminal law questions in the national unified judicial examination in the future. The majority of law candidates who pass the self-taught examination will later take the national unified judicial examination. This latter exam almost entirely adopts case-based question formats. In recent years, criminal law has accounted for approximately 60 points. Therefore, mastering the methods and techniques of case analysis, especially the approach to interpreting cases, is equivalent to holding the key to passing the national unified judicial examination. Of course, memorizing basic knowledge points is a prerequisite for doing well in case analysis questions. Conversely, through case analysis, foundational knowledge can be further reinforced.
3. Cultivate the mindset and methods of a legal professional. Criminal law is a branch of law, and criminal law as a discipline is highly practical. Through case analysis, not only can specific operational issues in criminal judicial practice be reflected, but candidates can also gradually develop a legal professional mindset through the study of these cases. For example, the understanding of crime composition should not be limited to theoretical or legislative comprehension but should be more importantly regarded as a problem-solving method for practical application. The establishment of this mindset and method will benefit one throughout their life.
The cases in this book are sourced from real judgments in criminal judicial practice departments, as well as extensive case materials from newspapers, magazines, books, or the internet. Each contributor has carefully selected and processed a large number of case materials, aiming to make the analysis concise, easy to understand, and avoiding overly complex theoretical exploration. Instead, emphasis is placed on the reasoning behind solving problems and the accuracy of the answers. Although contributors have clear divisions of labor, greater emphasis is placed on mutual cooperation and coordination. Many cases were collectively discussed and selected, reflecting the complexity of criminal judicial practice and incorporating the latest criminal law provisions and relevant judicial interpretations.
