This book had a high status before the examination analysis was published, and it was undoubtedly a "Bible" for candidates. For most people, it is an essential step to read the Guide well if they want to pass the examination of the professional course of master of laws, and it is also a ladder to guide most master of laws from the "illegal book" into the legal hall. In a sense, taking specialized courses is an endless cycle of "guidance", and this process is basically endless, and the only exit of the program is to wait until the end of the postgraduate entrance examination. However, all the people who have experienced it can't escape the fate of separation of flesh and blood in the end, or at least they are tattered (of course, even if the guide is still intact, I cherish this book). The problem with the Guide is that its mistakes have not been corrected with the update of the version, which may be a deep impression of veterans. Classical mistakes such as the object of civil legal relationship and the determination of invalid civil behavior are endless. The first four editions directly cloned the mistakes of the "predecessors". I haven't seen the fifth edition, and I don't know if it has been revised. However, many people know these mistakes, and the number is not too large. Everyone who has passed the novice exam should know them, so it will not affect the overall review. In addition, the guide does not change much every year. If the funds are not sufficient, the last year's version is enough to cope with the exam of that year.
2. Analysis of the National Entrance Examination for Master of Laws (Renmin University of China Press).
Beginning in 2005, the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education began to publish the book Examination Analysis. Judging from the contents of the announcement, "in order to sum up the experience of proposition work, and also to let the society let candidates know more about the changes in the examination syllabus and increase the transparency of the examination …", we can see that the book is equivalent to the status of English and political examination analysis in their respective disciplines. The purpose of this book is probably to define a norm for controversial issues in the Master of Laws exam. The contents of the book include three parts: exam description, outline analysis and analysis of previous years' test questions. Of course, the core part is "outline analysis", which changes some mistakes in the guide and adds some contents that are not in the guide, which is particularly noteworthy. Last year, as it was the first year of publication, many people, including me, paid little attention to this book and basically just skimmed it. As a result, some minor problems did appear. It is estimated that this year's "five-service map" will become a permanent pain for many candidates. In addition, we should pay attention to the "analysis of previous years' test questions" section. As we all know, the answers to specialized courses have not been published in the previous Master of Laws exam, and all kinds of "real problem analysis" in the market are only the opinions of book compilers. And "Examination Analysis" has finally begun to distribute official answers. Through the analysis of questions and answers over the years, it will undoubtedly be of great help to your review, especially the orientation of subjective questions and answers is very important. Of course, examination analysis, as a new thing, has the disadvantage that some contents of basic courses (that is, criminal law and civil law) are too brief, which is not suitable for novices without legal foundation, so it is doomed to be unable to replace the role of guide for the time being. For most people, it should be a good choice to use the guide in the early stage and use the analysis on the basis of understanding in the middle and late stage. Last year was the first year, and everything had to go through a transition. So I feel that the role of exam analysis has not been fully reflected. In view of the name of the examination center of the Ministry of Education, its importance may gradually penetrate into the examination in the future.
3. French books.
Anyone who studies law knows the position of law in the exam. Although the LLM exam is not as good as the department exam, if we carefully study the examination questions over the years and count the questions directly from the law, we will find that the role of law is irreplaceable. There are many laws and regulations to choose from. Those who like to be flexible can choose various brochures, law publishing houses, law clubs and people's court publishing houses. If you like the feeling of "massiness", you can choose that kind of "compilation of laws and regulations" and so on. I bought a law handbook commonly used by students from the law publishing house. Red ones are sold everywhere. It feels very good. I can use it easily. A book is enough to cope with the exam of master fa. There is also a compilation of laws and regulations published specifically for LLM exams, which should be more targeted. This is all based on personal preference, as long as you look comfortable.
4.* * Lectures on the Joint Entrance Examination for LLM Postgraduates (Renmin University of China Press).
This book was first published on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2002. At first, it was used to cooperate with the sprint of professional courses for postgraduate entrance examination in 2003. Later, it was basically published at the end of each year, and this spirit was continued. Later, many people found that the systematic arrangement and knowledge point induction of "Da Hua" were better than the guide from the perspective of examination, which was very suitable for memory, and the mistakes in the guide were also corrected in the book. But it's a little late at the end of the year, and it's not easy to rush through it. Therefore, many people used last year's "big talk" to help digest and understand when reviewing in that year. Later, probably the publishing house also realized this problem, and in September 2004, the third edition was published in advance. This book is recommended to those who are already familiar with the guide and analysis. They are used to ugly words and sentences in guidebooks. This book can give you some brand-new ways of learning, and maybe you will think that "the guidebook can still be learned like this" (I am rather rigid in learning, so this feeling is obvious. HOHO, don't laugh at me. Of course, it's also suitable for those who don't have time to read the last guide and cram for it (I hope it's not the reason you used it, J).
5. Case book.
The first set of cases published by the National People's Congress Press is the 2 1 century law series, and the yellow ones are of course limited to two books: Civil Law Cases and Criminal Law General Cases. The former is the editor-in-chief of Long Yifei. You can be surprised to see that the answers to the cases are mostly the original words of the guide, which is very suitable for supporting the use of the guide, with moderate difficulty and more in line with the Master of Laws exam. The editor-in-chief of the latter is Huang Jingping, who is also the editorial board of the Guide, and the content is also good. However, it should be noted that the theory of criminal law case analysis has been written a little more, and the authors in controversial places have also spared no expense in writing. For our exam, we omitted the hint of theoretical controversy, but jumped directly to the legal analysis part, because exposure to too many different views at once is not conducive to beginners' learning. Moreover, the postgraduate entrance examination needs theoretical support, but theoretical research is by no means the task of postgraduate entrance examination, and these contents can be put into postgraduate entrance examination. Before that, getting into the exam is the key. As for this series, there are case studies on specific provisions of criminal law and intellectual property rights, so there is probably no need to buy it. The former case analysis is too brief, and some even ask questions without reference answers. The latter lies in the lack of pertinence in the examination of master of law.
In addition, a set of books that are highly valued in case studies is the series of case statements, which I have also read. Personally, I think it is more suitable for extracurricular reading, and it is not as good as the two books introduced above from the perspective of examination. If you have the energy and money, you can buy it. In addition, there are some case studies on the lecture notes of the remedial classes, such as science and education parks. Basically, you can review from last year's lecture notes, without waiting for this year's lecture notes, because there is little change every year.
6. Book for simulation questions
The writing of this part bothers me the most, because this kind of book is probably the most mixed place in the publishing market of Fashuo. Almost everyone dares to make up topics, and everyone dares to brag. The topics I have done are also limited. It is really hard to say whether it is good or bad. If it is slightly biased, it is suspected of helping the book. But since it is a "comprehensive strategy", exercises are always essential, so I still crustily skin of head and wrote a few strokes.
* * Simulated test questions and analysis of national entrance examination for LLM graduates (Renmin University of China Press). This book has been with me for three years. In previous years, it was a 32-page booklet with a relatively easy topic. Since 2003, the difficulty of the professional course of master of law has risen sharply, and the book has also been greatly revised. Since the fourth edition, it has been a big book of 16, and the difficulty has also increased. I think the best design of the book lies in its answer part, which is very detailed, and when answering a question, it will summarize the relevant knowledge points for you, save yourself the time of turning over the book, and also achieve the effect of consolidating other knowledge points from point to area. The disadvantage is that there are many topics in the comprehensive course, which is a bit frustrating, hehe. At the back of the book are the real questions and solutions of professional courses in the past five years since the senior high school entrance examination, which is very worth studying before the examination analysis and publication. However, the answers of the exam analysis last year were somewhat different from theirs, especially the subjective questions, so the use value of this part began to decrease. It is suggested that "examination analysis" should prevail from the real questions in 2004. Some people say that this book is the most realistic simulation topic. I think it's a bit exaggerated, but considering the lack of excellent simulation topics at present, this book is still worth recommending.
Test center analysis and synchronous test training are from this book (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Press). There are four books in this series, including civil law, criminal law, comprehensive course and simulated examination for specialized courses. This set of books is the previous series of People's Court Publishing House. Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Press published in 2005. I did version 04. Compared with the increasing difficulty of the LLM exam year by year, the questions in version 04 are still too easy, and many questions have answers at a glance. I haven't made version 05, and it seems to have been revised a lot. It is said that the difficulty has also gone up. Each chapter consists of five sections: Examination Trend, Test Site Tips, Test Playback, Title of this chapter and Title Answer, which break down the real questions over the years into chapters. From special to general, some people prefer this arrangement. Because the book belongs to the synchronous nature, the amount of questions is relatively large, which is suitable for the early review.
The last five sets of questions by the Science and Education Park and the last five sets of questions by the National People's Congress. These two things basically come out about a month before the exam every year, so you can choose whatever you want, because many questions are repeated. J. But don't expect to bet on many questions with you. At that time, it was just a psychological comfort.
In addition, Peking University, Tsinghua University Publishing House and other publishing houses have also published books such as synchronous exercises and simulations in recent years. I dare not jump to conclusions, because I have never done it or learned about it. Speaking of simulation questions, I want to waste more saliva. The number of simulation questions is small but accurate, which lies in research. In fact, it is much better to buy a book, do it several times, or even copy down the topics you can't do and recite them once. Moreover, many topics are copied here and there. Generally speaking, it is better to study a topic thoroughly than to do ten.
Conclusion: A guide (including an outline), an examination analysis and a law should be the "three XXXXX treasures" necessary for law and postgraduate courses. The rest will be taken according to everyone's different needs. The principle of choice is enough is enough. It is recommended not to buy blindly, wasting money and resources. The taste of data collectors is not good. In addition, some people asked, is it ok to use the questions of the judicial examination? I'm also reviewing my department exams recently. My opinion is that if you set strict standards for yourself from the review stage, you will be very good. When you return to Master Fa, your energy will be limited, but the difficulty of the department examination is obviously different from that of Master Fa, so it is impossible for ordinary people to spend all their time on professional courses. You should know what I mean here. Of course, if you are an expert and think that the topic of Fa Shuo is not challenging and interesting, forget it, hehe.
