Publishing Date: 2006-12-01
Features: Professor He Jiahong, who studied abroad in the United States early in his career, has extensive research and experience in legal education in English-speaking contexts. The book was first published in 1997 and quickly gained widespread popularity. It has been reprinted multiple times and has even been introduced to Taiwan. In 2006, it was listed as a national planning teaching material for the "11th Five-Year Plan" in general higher education. The book is carefully selected and accurately translated to present the essence and key principles of the judicial systems of countries, including legal professions, legal education, judicial systems, as well as the core concepts of constitutional, criminal, civil, and commercial law, in 22 lessons. This new third edition retains the original background knowledge, texts (notes), exercises, and supplementary readings while adding chapter titles for easier learning, expanding notes, and appending exercise reference answers. To highlight the practicality of legal English, the author has reorganized the topics, listing practical skill training projects such as topic discussions, case analyses, simulated negotiations, court debates, case summaries, and legal memorandum writing separately. This greatly benefits readers in improving their English expression skills and legal practice abilities.
