The biggest drawback of a law paper written according to the textbook style lies in "there is no discussion field regardless of the topic", that is, only one research field, object or scope is selected to introduce and describe everything, instead of extracting a central topic from it and demonstrating it throughout the whole text. Textbook-style writing style still stubbornly affects the writing of legal papers, which is particularly evident in many doctoral dissertations entitled "Study on XX System" or "On XX System". The reason why this phenomenon still exists is largely related to the lack of attention to the problem consciousness and misunderstanding, especially the lack of understanding of the difference between problems and problems. Thinking about how to refine the problem consciousness can revolve around three concepts: book knowledge and social practice, historical perspective and realistic concern, China consciousness and international perspective.

In the past 20 years (especially after 1999 began to expand the enrollment of colleges and universities nationwide), China's legal education and legal works production have shown a trend of rapid development and even rapid expansion of scale. But in this "prosperity" scene, you can often hear a lot of sighs. On the one hand, every spring semester, many law teachers often complain that it is a painful torture to read some graduation thesis and write comments with little academic innovation. On the other hand, among the 20,000 or 30,000 graduation theses that master's and doctor's degree students in various law departments in our country pass the defense every year, and among the thousands of law theses published in various journals every year, quite a few of them have actually received little attention from their peers. Even in a very short time, some papers have been included in the database of China HowNet, and there is a phenomenon of "zero citation and zero download" (that is, even the author himself is too lazy to download his own articles to watch or try. The so-called law papers that make teachers "angry" or ignored by their peers have such a fate, which is mainly related to their low academic quality. Among the various reasons that lead to the low academic quality, except for the academic misconduct of some law papers that may be plagiarized at will and patched together, the lack of "problem consciousness" in many law papers is a universal commonality.
