How to reasonably arrange the review order of the five professional courses of LLM

It is a national examination, not a proposition of each school. The Ministry of Education has come up with a unified outline.

Professional basic courses (including criminal law, civil law) and comprehensive courses (including jurisprudence, constitution and Chinese legal history).

The most important thing in reviewing civil law and criminal law is to understand the basic theories thoroughly and read the books thoroughly; Later to memorize what you think is important to yourself. It is necessary to combine cases and books, try to analyze problems with the theories in the books after reading the books, and pay attention to writing them down in professional terms. If time permits, you can find a few more books to read, such as the Red Book of Peking University and Higher Education (the 21st Century Law Textbook of Peking University and Higher Education Press).

Comprehensive courses mainly rely on memorization, especially the history of the legal system, and it is necessary to memorize it in the later stage of review, because it takes too much time in the early stage, and the effect is not good. Jurisprudence also depends on understanding, focusing on the later chapters, you can read more **, and know some hot issues in the current law. In the past two years, the major essay questions have all tested issues in the field of justice and the legal system, and these are all hot theoretical topics.

First, I would like to remind everyone not to enter the revision stage too early, just start the second semester of the third year, and you still need to study undergraduate courses seriously before that. If you prepare too early, it will affect the study of undergraduate majors, and you will not be able to achieve the goal of cultivating compound talents for law and master's degrees. The four years of college are a very important stage of life and should be colorful.

The postgraduate entrance examination is very hard, don't be overbearing, tighten the front and loosen the back.

Second, in order to succeed in the LLM exam, you must choose and use good books. At present, there are two authoritative guidance books: one is the exam guide and the other is the exam analysis.

Since this exam is a unified proposition by the Ministry of Education, and the test analysis is compiled by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, the answers are basically based on it, and the examination guide of the National People's Congress is in a secondary position, but it is still not to be underestimated, especially in the primary stage of review. The Criminal Law section of the exam guide is detailed and accurate, while the analysis of the exam is very brief and unsuitable for exam preparation. In addition, the civil law part of the exam analysis is relatively brief, and beginners may be confused, so it is recommended that it is best to read the guide first and then read the exam analysis.

Third, in the review stage, candidates should make a good study plan and pay attention to studying the past questions, especially the exam questions in the first three years, so as to find out the rules of the questions and guide them to review.

Fourth, in the review stage of the postgraduate entrance examination, candidates should pay attention to the summary and induction of knowledge points and take good review notes. Taking notes is not the same as copying a book, just write down the key points, difficult points, and easy to make mistakes. In addition, it is recommended that candidates use loose-leaf notebooks to take notes, and when they finally review, they will classify the notes of each time according to the chapters, and candidates will find that there are important and difficult points that they recognize every time, which are the major and difficult points of the exam.
