Features: This book is one of the 21st Century Law Series textbooks published by Renmin University of China. It clearly elaborates on the fundamental content of applied legal practice for lawyers, the basic methods lawyers use in their practice, and explores areas in legislative and judicial practice that require improvement. The book provides detailed materials and data, making it suitable for readers from various fields and levels. It meets the teaching needs of college undergraduates and is also appropriate for researchers and professionals working in research institutions and practical departments. Since its publication in 2000, Chinese Legal Practice has been reprinted more than ten times. However, in recent years, China's legal system has undergone numerous revisions, such as the amendment of the Law of Lawyers in 2001, which abolished the national bar examination and implemented a unified judicial examination system. Laws such as the Trademark Law, Patent Law, Company Law, and Securities Law have also been frequently revised, and the structure of law firms has undergone significant changes. All these developments have made the original content appear outdated. In this context, the author has revised the book, updating it according to the revised laws and also rewriting certain chapters based on theoretical advancements. This book attempts to innovate in terms of format, content, and writing style compared to previously published works on legal practice. From the research and writing plan to the final manuscript, all contributors adhered to the following principles: (1) The fundamental content of applied legal practice and the basic methods lawyers use in their practice should be clearly explained; (2) Relevant materials and data should be as detailed as possible; (3) Areas in legislative and judicial practice that require improvement should be explored, with a focus on proposing our own perspectives; (4) Enhance the theoretical depth of the discipline of legal practice. Legal practice is a discipline with strong practicality but relatively weak theoretical foundations. Writing a book on this subject to achieve theoretical depth is no easy task.
