1. The most important thing about studying for the judicial examination is actually time. If you work hard enough, you should pass it. (This has nothing to do with the major you study, because it is mostly memorized)
The civil service examination is not that simple, because it involves too many conveniences, both arts and sciences, which is not so It's easy to master, but it will take longer to review.
I haven’t had much exposure to the CPA exam, but I heard from friends that it is less difficult than the previous two exams. The main reason is that he needs to see less things than the previous two, and also that it can be passed one by one.
2. I am a law major. As far as I know, if you get the judicial examination certificate, it is only the threshold for entering the law. You cannot directly enter the procuratorate or court. You also need to continue to take the civil service examination. , and the written test of the civil service examination is often fair, but the interview may not be that simple. A strong interpersonal network is not necessary, but some connections should be required.
3. If you only rely on your own ability, it is recommended that you take the exam in a larger place, such as Beijing, which may be slightly fairer. The first thing you need to do is to do well in the written test, preferably in the top few, so that you are less likely to be squeezed out by others. Then you have to perform well in the interview, but if you meet someone with a large network of people, If your competitors push you out, you will have no choice but to be appointed. hey-hey!
Then let’s introduce the review method: How to prepare for the judicial examination?
The judicial examination is a dual test of the candidate’s legal theoretical foundation and legal practical experience. It requires memory accuracy and logical analysis ability. Finding the "tactics" that suits you is the key to successfully passing the judicial examination. The key. The author passed the National Judicial Examination in 2004. Based on my own review experience, I will talk about some personal review experiences in the hope that it will be helpful to candidates.
1. Preparation stage before the exam
Candidates should prepare mentally and materially. Mental preparation means being in a good state of preparation. You should not be careless and review hastily, nor should you "pay too much attention" and put too much pressure on yourself, causing you to feel panicked all day long. You should devote yourself to the exam with a serious and down-to-earth attitude and the confidence to win. to intense review. "Strategically despise, tactically attach importance to." Material preparation mainly refers to the selection of review materials for the examination. There are so many types of examination materials on the market today that it is dazzling. It is best for candidates to seek the opinions of experienced people when choosing, and not to be blind. The designated textbooks for the Judicial Examination, past papers, compilations of laws and regulations, and key laws and regulations are indispensable review tools. The author believes that when selecting real questions from past years, in addition to the questions and answers, the question set must have question analysis and test point analysis. In addition, books with low error rates must be selected. The selection of key legal provisions is also very important. Its content should not just focus on the "key points", but should point out the connection with other relevant legal provisions and judicial interpretations to achieve the purpose of strengthening memory and drawing parallels. Whether in terms of review or examination, the judicial examination is a challenge to candidates' energy. Therefore, candidates must maintain a healthy physical and mental state, pay attention to a reasonable diet and appropriate exercise.
2. Substantive review stage
In this part, the author will talk about his experience in the exam review process from a macro perspective. The review time arrangement for the judicial examination is very important. The author believes that the battle line should not be too long. If the candidate majors in law as an undergraduate or has conducted a more systematic and in-depth study of legal theory, the review period should be about three months. Otherwise, It is easy to "review fatigue" and reduce efficiency.
Next, let’s talk about the stage arrangement of the review. During the entire judicial examination review process, the author went through three stages, namely, the “entrance, digestion and absorption” of knowledge, which will be described below.
(1) The "entrance" stage of knowledge
Just like we need to see clearly what it looks like before eating, candidates should combine the syllabus and the designated textbooks for the judicial examination to Be generally familiar with the departmental laws to be examined and the content of each law to be examined.
Taking civil law as an example, the legal articles examined include the "General Principles of Civil Law", "Guarantee Law", "Contract Law", "Marriage Law", "Succession Law", "Trademark Law", "Patent Law" and "Copyright". Law, etc., as well as relevant judicial interpretations of the laws of various departments (candidates can clarify the specific examination scope from the judicial examination syllabus of that year).
From the content of the examination, in addition to understanding the key contents of each legal article, we must also understand the vertical and horizontal connections between the contents stipulated in each legal article. For example, the civil subjects stipulated in various civil laws in our country What are they, what are their uniqueness and characteristics, etc. The effect of such review is to help the three-dimensionalization of knowledge. The author followed four "principles" in the first stage of review, which are detailed below:
1. The starting point for reviewing the content of the judicial examination is best arranged according to the proportion of scores of each department's law. For example, you can review criminal law or civil law first;
2. In terms of the order of review for the judicial examination, it is recommended to adopt the method of "substantive law + procedural law", such as "civil law + civil procedure law" , "Criminal Law + Criminal Procedure Law", "Administrative Law + Administrative Procedure Law", etc. Such review methods can not only bridge the barriers between substantive law and procedural law, but also correspond to each other and promote memory and understanding.
3. Micro review, that is, review of laws specific to each department. You should first master the relevant theoretical knowledge in the designated textbooks for the judicial examination, then integrate the legal provisions and judicial interpretations, and finally study the past papers and analyze them. methods and test points. Generally speaking, the test points in the past examination questions are "constantly weighted", that is, the repetition rate is very high. However, judging from the 2004 examination questions, the content involved in the judicial examination tends to be comprehensive. Therefore, we must avoid the misunderstanding that only relying on past test points for review will be biased.
4. Review the knowledge points that focus on memorization later. Due to the effect of memory rules and intensive review, it is impossible to memorize for a long time, so this knowledge point with high memorability should be "postponed". For example, legal history, jurisprudence, international public law, etc.
In addition to the above four principles, the author recommends that candidates not only rely on their "eyes" and "brain" when reviewing for the Division Examination, but also learn to use their "hands", that is, they must be good at summarizing. There are two reasons for adopting this approach: First, it helps with memory. As the saying goes, "a good memory cannot keep up with a bad writing"; second, because the designated textbooks for the judicial examination are very detailed, it would be a waste if every stage of review is reviewed page by page. It is burdensome, and the outline is too simple, so candidates should prepare their own "review guide" to systematize the knowledge points involved. For example, you can write down the main systems included in the test points, and what are the key points of each system. Doubts even include the "inspiration and sparks" that flashed during the review process. You may feel that the workload is relatively heavy in the first stage of review, but in the final stage I believe there will be an obvious effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
(2) The "digestion" stage of knowledge
The review in the first stage has laid a relatively solid foundation, and the second stage will further consolidate the knowledge and knowledge on this basis. Improve application ability. At this stage, it is recommended to use a comparative analysis method to facilitate understanding and strengthen memory. For example, comparative analysis between the three major litigation laws, comparison of the rights and obligations of the parties at different stages of litigation, etc. In addition, it is necessary to analyze and compare the test points in the past years to see which ones are the "constant key points" of the judicial examination and which contents have not been covered. You should also carefully study the problem-solving ideas and problem-solving techniques in the answer analysis, especially Answers to case analysis questions and essay questions.
(3) The "absorption" stage of knowledge
This stage is the stage of checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps. Candidates can choose one or two sets of high-quality simulation questions for practice to test their ability to actually apply knowledge. Supplement the knowledge that you have not mastered or do not master thoroughly, and strengthen important knowledge points.
The review at each stage should be comprehensive and partial. Since the review content for the Judicial Examination is very complex, it is impossible to cover everything and must be focused. For example, laws with a large score ratio need to be reviewed comprehensively. You cannot just rely on key legal provisions and past exam questions.
However, for some departmental laws (such as economic law), you don’t need to memorize and understand them one by one. You can prepare for the exam by thoroughly understanding the test points and key legal provisions of previous years’ real questions. Special mention should be made here about the review of administrative law. On the one hand, the administrative law questions are difficult, and on the other hand, the content of the administrative law part of the designated textbooks for the judicial examination is not very systematic, so it is best to use an undergraduate textbook as a reference. Contribute to the understanding of relevant knowledge. Finally, the author believes that during the review process, you should not just read the legal provisions at the literal level, but should analyze the legal spirit behind the legal provisions, so that you can truly grasp the knowledge points.
The above is the author’s experience in the review process of the Division Examination. I hope it will be helpful to the candidates. During the preparation period, you must maintain a good attitude and believe that God will reward those who work hard. I wish all candidates good luck!
Regarding the review method of civil law, I have another feeling, that is, do not engage in the "question-filled tactic". A large number of currently published solutions to various examination questions can undoubtedly be used as reference materials for candidates to review. However, when teachers set questions, they always focus on the theoretical system and teaching points of civil law teaching. Therefore, the only way to solve questions is to master the question types and One way to improve question-answering skills is to put the cart before the horse if you fall into a sea of ??questions and relax your grasp of basic concepts, basic systems and basic theories. On the contrary, if you have mastered the basic concepts, basic systems and basic theories very well, no matter how the exam syllabus changes, and no matter what form the examiner uses to conduct the examination, the so-called "the original principles will never change", the candidates can strategize and win. !
