Some books and knowledge for beginners of law:

Legal theory category:

Shu's jurisprudence

Recommended reason: beginners of law often think that criminal law, civil law and other substantive laws are the focus, but in fact jurisprudence is really important. Friends who have participated in the judicial examination may have heard of the teacher's legal sense, legal thinking, legal sense and legal thinking. Personally, I think they are all trained by studying law. At the same time, jurisprudence studies the general principles of law. More efforts in jurisprudence will be of great help to the study of substantive law theory. Shu's Jurisprudence is an entry-level textbook, which is recommended for beginners.

This book consolidates the theoretical foundation of criminal law, and I don't have to put too much energy into memorizing the specific elements of crime. I can only deal with complicated situations through theory. In the process of practice, you can also quickly judge the charges, crimes and non-crimes of the parties.

If you can fully understand the "possession" in civil law,

The concept of "for the purpose of illegal possession" in criminal law will be more profound. This book is a dialogue between a civil jurist and a criminal jurist. First reading will find it obscure, but it will benefit a lot.

Civil law:

Liang Huixing's civil law hermeneutics and judgment methods.

Recommended reason: These two books are actually one book, and the method of judgment is the second half of civil law hermeneutics. Personally, I think that the basic literacy of both legal scholars and lawyers, judges and prosecutors engaged in the legal profession is to interpret the law, rather than rigidly applying the law or waiting for the authority to interpret the law. The interpretation of the law must abide by certain rules. The function of these two books is that we can master the rules of interpreting the law.
