First, choose a topic according to your own interests.

On the one hand, interest is the best teacher, and choosing a topic according to interest can give full play to the author's own subjective initiative, so that the writing process of the paper is not only a process of completing the learning task, but also a process of showing the author's talent and development direction.

On the other hand, interest is the driving force, and the topics determined according to interest can encourage the author to actively prepare the materials needed for writing a thesis. Interest guidance can also help the author overcome the difficulties encountered in the long writing process and provide guarantee for completing a high-quality paper.

Second, according to the hot topics of current research.

The effective way to reflect the novelty of the paper is to keep pace with the times and keep up with the hot issues in current research. For the field of law, the hot issues of current research can be obtained by paying attention to annual academic conferences, articles written or published by famous scholars, and column manuscripts of core journals. For the author, it is still very realistic to study and solve hot issues, which often has good social and economic benefits.

Third, according to the controversial views in this field.

In the textbooks for law majors, we can often find that scholars have different views on a certain issue, which is a breakthrough in topic selection. Choose controversial issues for research, so as to express your opinions and put forward your own opinions. Starting from criticizing or drawing lessons from other people's opinions, we can gradually develop and demonstrate, so as to achieve the purpose of perfecting existing opinions or putting forward new ones. This is also in line with the principle and requirement that the topic should be innovative.

Fourth, choose the topic according to the materials.

This method is to browse the occupied literature, extract the questions you are interested in, and then determine the topic. The possession of materials is the unity of the process and results of material collection, sorting and screening.

In this process, we can find our own interests, the shortcomings of existing theories, and even theoretical gaps, so as to determine the writing objectives and topic selection scope of the paper. Then carefully and comprehensively review the information you have mastered, and finally determine the topic after careful analysis and repeated thinking.

5. According to social needs.

This method can also be called choosing topics according to actual needs. As an applied discipline, the study of law should be practical, and legal papers, as one of the forms of research results, should also meet the requirements of social practice.

As a key step in thesis writing, the determination of the topic should also be based on the requirements of social needs and social development practice for legal theory, so as to truly make the topic come from practice and serve it. Practice is the source of theory, and selecting topics according to social needs should be the dominant method of selecting topics for legal professional papers.

Six, according to the needs of career development.

Career development needs the method of selecting topics, which can link the writing of papers with future career development. This is also the concrete embodiment of the combination of theory and practice, learning and application, and it is a more pragmatic method of topic selection.

As for the specific content of the topic, it can also be consistent with the specific requirements of the career you want to engage in in in the future, so as to realize the combination of learning and application in the process of thesis writing.
