Features: This lexicon contains nearly 4,000 entries. It covers systems, terms, and laws in fields such as legal theory, international law, private international law, international economic law, economic law, civil law, commercial law, constitutional law, criminal law, criminal procedure law, civil procedure law, administrative law, administrative litigation law, intellectual property law, criminal investigation law, forensic medicine, and forensic identification science. The lexicon is arranged in Pinyin alphabetical order, with homophones sorted by stroke order according to Chinese character radicals.

For polysemous terms, explanations are divided into sections (e.g., 1, 2, 3), but only those relevant to legal content are included. A few entries requiring reference to other entries for further understanding or entries with multiple meanings are marked with "see" and the relevant entries.
