Features: Professor He Jiahong, who studied abroad in the United States early in his career, has extensive research and insights into legal education under the English-speaking system. The book was first published in 1997 and was widely popular upon its release. 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 points of the judicial systems of English-speaking countries, including legal professions, legal education, judicial systems, as well as the core principles of various legal branches such as constitutional law, criminal law, civil law, 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 reference answers to the exercises. To highlight the practicality of legal English, the author has reorganized the topics, listing legal practical skills training projects such as topic discussions, case analyses, simulated negotiations, courtroom debates, case summaries, and legal memorandum writing separately. This greatly benefits readers in improving their English expression skills and legal practice abilities.
