Peking University Institute of international law (PKU-STL) postgraduate experience reproduced

Peking University Institute of international law (PKU-STL) postgraduate experience

In fact, our school admitted to Peking University every year a lot of, inter professional there are also many. Just more low-key, I searched the related experience, there seems to be no, some people even don't know Is it right? Can be admitted to our schoolMaster, so I want to write about, and provide some information, I wish on the back of the mentees help.

The first few questions (because my information is limited, if have what mistake, hope to know better than me.)

1. What is the master?
Master of lawJM (juris master) and master of finance MF is a professional degree, is different from the academic degree, usually for pharmaceutical agents. It belongs to the academic degree, which can be Baidu Search. Because of its objective is to cultivate several popular field has specially professional background, so in the examination requirements have requirements for undergraduate non law related major, this one, don't worry about not professional problem, so to some extent, said master cross professionalSectionIs not very reasonable.

In addition to professional degree currently has 39 (seeHttp://baike.baidu.com/view/346222.htm), cases
As the master of accounting, master of business administration, education, if the pharmacy related professional interest is not so strong, these are very good choice. We just this side of the information is relatively not so many, many people do not know, I believe many people if you know these words will make better decisions.

2. Master what test?
Research on the legal master's exam is divided into a total of two gates: the basic courses and specialized courses, in the second day morning and afternoon respectively on two exams, time is 3 hours.
The course is divided into criminal law and civil law, comprehensive course is divided into legal history, jurisprudence, constitutional law, Chinese China. Although in theory the five door, but because the undergraduate course is not a law major, so the test requirements are not very high.

3. The law with the law what relationship?
As mentioned before, the law is a professional degree, academic degree law belongs to, this is the biggest difference. The law took the man is not a law related professional undergraduate, undergraduate law apply people mostly legal professional people, but non professional can apply for, but no background, exam difficulty increased greatly, sometimes even after preliminary examination, reexamination may also be because of various reasons be knocked down.
For future employment, because the law professional more theoretical, legal practice is stronger, the former many will choose to continue research into the public security, the former more, the latter into firms more.

4. The law can go abroad?
There are three main legal related degree abroad, one is LLM (Master of law), JD (Juris Doctor) and SJD (Doctor of Judicial Science). The specific Baidu are related to explain.
LLM is equivalent to the foreign master degree in law, JD law, translation, and Dr. MD is considered to be "the most expensive USA and gold content of two degree" the highest, SJD from the name can be seen, mainly is the law, in the field of education research, has little to do with our relationship. Usually the law related to choose LLM or JD
LLM and JD main difference lies in that the former has a Bachelor of Laws degree can apply, only need to provide TOEFL score, time is short usually only one year, apply for degree of difficulty is low; the latter no degree limit, over a long period of time, usually 3 years, and are required to provide LSAT (law school admission test USA law school admission test) score the difficulty is greatly improved, the application. Although the same tuition is expensive, but the former is not scholarship, which will provide full or partial scholarship based on LSAT scores. Need to ask is, LLM is not in USA lawyer qualification examination, namely the choice of LLM are usually just go for gold plating America, USA native basically nobody LLM
Generally speaking, learning the law certainly go abroad, if you just want to go abroad plating gold, choose LLM, if you want to continue in America employment, choose JD

5. Master of law school rankings?
In general, are: North / National People's Congress / Chinese law / East China politics and law / southwest politics and law, Tsinghua University, Wuhan University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University / Jida / Zhongshan University / South, Xiamen University, Zhongnan University of Finance and economics.
There is a large difference in every school, every year there will be some fluctuation, but generally speaking, master of best colleges focus on "five four", namely: Five - Chinese law, southwest, northwest, southwest of economics and law, East China politics and law; four - North, the National People's Congress, Chittagong, the legal department of Wuhan university.
The advantages and disadvantages of each school can see this two posts:

6. Peking University School of international law and Peking University School of law, what relationship?
The predecessor of the Department of law of Peking University Law School of Peking University was founded in 1904, its history is long, strong scientific research strength be obvious to people, but here I want to talk specifically about international law school.
Peking University Institute of international law (PKU-STL: Peking University School of Transnational Law) by Hai Wen director in Shenzhen since 2007, is a completely different from the school of Peking University Law School, is currently the Chinese, first according to the JD model training school of law. Many people see here, will think: the establishment of such a short time? Still in Shenzhen? Or domestic JD not good?. Now I know about the school of inferiority compared.
Advantage:
1) strong teacher
Dean STL Lehman is America former president of Cornell University, was also the dean of University of Michigan law school, President of America Association of law school, taught at the Yale University Law School of Paris University, second. Vice president vice president Yandle served as vice president of the University of Virginia, Law School of Northwestern University, vice president of Yale University School of law, USA Lawyers Association (ABA: American Bar Association) of legal education and admissions consultant. And the other teacher, is absolutely with rich teaching experience and legal work experience.
The other students who are interested can also browse the college homepage:Http://stl.szpku.edu.cn/cn/index/index.aspxClick the [faculty] column, can see, both professors or lecturers, not made America TOP10 school JD degree, and has rich experience.
After school, every 9 - 10 people to form a group, each group has independent TA, the assistants are all graduated from the prestigious JD USA, most have rich working experience. Their job is to group work, weekly group discussions, help to solve the language and learning difficulties, as well as specialized professors do resume and interview.
To make a long story short, the rise of STL is definitely not the principal moment of Hai Wen, is put in a lot of money and effort. As the domestic first awarded JD degree of law school, Peking University Natural responsibility to open this head.

2) JD degree and the real Platon teaching method.
The previously mentioned JD's benefits, but in fact foreign JD in addition to the amazing tuition (generally above 1000000 yuan), and extremely difficult to apply, TOP14 schools require LSAT score is not above 150 points (Yale University, even as high as 171) and Chinese students apply, no 170 + basic is not possible in addition, good, GPA and relevant internship experience are necessary, to make a long story short, like the pharmacy, because of its strong practicability, good job, for international students are naturally high threshold.
STL hours a total of 4 years, to USA method, of course, the curriculum also includes Chinese method of learning, the English teaching. 4 years of tuition is 200000, but the school can guarantee 70% of loans, and Shenzhen City Hall each month will provide 1000 yuan subsidy, so tuition pressure than north big big lot.

3) internships and lecture.
During the period of school, there are many foreign universities internship program, and Dean Lehman has been actively contact the big law firms to provide students with internship opportunities. So this four years of study not only to learn the textbook fur, after a lot of practice and the high strength of learning, I believe this harvest not less than department.

I can think of nothing more than a few points of weakness:
1) high tuition fees;
4 years is 200000, the tuition is very high, but the fact is, like most school by the master of money opposite, where tuition is far not enough to pay the professor's salary, not college normal expenses of 1/4, not to mention on the tuition money.
In addition, compared to the foreign JD stunning hundreds of millions of tuition fees, STL certainly not high.
And, in addition to the previously mentioned loans and subsidies, Shenzhen City, is also provided with the scholarship amount is higher, scholarship in two, and 6W, 5%, two, 3W, 20%, in strict accordance with the LSAT score.
2) is not through the ABA (America Lawyers Association) certification;
This is because all the evaluation law schools must first class, at least two years to evaluate. This year, STL officially entered the ABA evaluation procedure, so the prospect of STL is immeasurable, once through the ABA certification, perhaps the tuition is far more than 200000
3) campus in Shenzhen, and the associated with less;
Indeed, learning the law relationship is a very important problem, but is not directly related to the regional network. If you are strong enough, the people in Shenzhen, as with the Department of the familiar. So, in front of the same excellent education, this should not be an obstacle

Peking University law school this fractional line is 365, the law school is 355, while the low of 10 points, but also have than to go out in the outside law schools all have high. A temporary situation was embarrassing, but JD as the legal field of the most exciting degree, will be like MBA become a big trend
I do not deny the value, but just want to provide more information to the students in the back reference, if you are interested in the law, hope to have the opportunity to go abroad, the condition in the home is affordable, STL is the best choice

7. The law does not do a good job?
Many people say "not good employment, although more and more institutions now offer legal professional, the number of students is also very big, can say, there are legal master as long as the name of the school. This will inevitably lead to the overall sense of master of employment difficulties. But the professional enrollment is increasing to some extent is because more and more people in this field need. As you can see, the major banks in the Ministry of justice of the treatment are even higher than the IT department, while the national for the master of laws authorize the school more and more, that there is such a need. That is, a good school master graduates will still be good to.
The first use of a master's degree in law from Peking University Federation of Peking University Law School (Department) Statistics 2008 Master of law graduates employment work, 180 students, which read Bo, to 6; to 24 banks, investment banks, insurance companies; law firms, accounting firms and 40 civil servants, business unit; 54; all kinds of companies 38.
Specific can see here:
Http://www.fashuounion.com/t2569541p1
Visible, the employment situation of University Master is very attractive, although there is no international law school graduates, or new things, but I believe it's name I would like HSBC business school as loud.

8. Master should be how to prepare, need how long?
In general, 4-6 months is enough. Time is too long, people easily tired; the time is too short, the psychology is very easy to affect the review. If sufficient time, extra time to learn English better, whether it is a new concept in the 3 or TOEFL IELTS or continue to raise the level six, ensure the English always learning, always no harm. Future retest and looking for a job, can use.
That is to say, the summer holidays will begin to review. Master of professional courses in the current version of the data out more often than political outline analysis also late, so don't wait with new data, last year. As for the specific review, I will get to later.
There are many people who are takeScottAnd then test the master, because the media in September, after more than 100 days to review one's deceased father grind, time is enough, our school has students from doing so. The big four students can practice relatively easy reference, according to the experience of others, 2-4 months to begin preparations for scott.
A re examination Xiankao Scott JM, can be seen here:
Http://blog.fashuounion.com/blog/228952313/716718407
This is a classmate of people, this is the test of STL, the experience was very well written, very worthy of reference.

Here is my study section of the overall situation:

   The second half of 2009, the thought will be what I want the same steps, began to prepare for going abroad, but the doings of ghosts and gods to find the intermediary, and the doings of ghosts and gods to stop the contract, 30000 pieces of money dashuipiao. So at the end of 2010, I have nothing to do, and many come from an uncertain future, The mind is very confused. -- -- just give up to go abroad, to find myself a very grand reason: I don't want to get my dreams to others -- -- very highfalutin? But my dream again in where?

In 2010 February I met him in April, decided to study section. Start to take an examination of the professional reason is very simple: 1. The North would like to test, because the BF in there, 2. Don't want to read biology, 3. English is also good, 4. Don't want to study maths, although I think so is not responsible for myself, but now I really love this profession, but also very glad that this decision. So in July began to read a book. In August the furl bedclothes back to medicine to review, in the Department for a month, went back to Jiangning. In September, a whole month because of problems in the dormitory is the school -- -- housing, torture was notified graduate students can pay hostel in Jiangning review, but living half a month, and be notified must move, the middle also experienced by housing, early in the morning into the real time and water stop electrical things, those days last year experienced people believe that now have feeling. I remember very clearly, I went to the Housing Department refund, a teacher is very disdain on: not drugs in people, to you free of charge of electricity, free of charge to your room, what else do you want? -- well, this is the medicine, I want to leave here.

Later I moved into the school hostel.

In September when I give a classmate call, he heard of me to be admitted to Beijing University, to educate me: "you should be careful, you are a girl! You can't lose! How can you not think about, to be admitted to the school, each link may cause you to fail, study section of the course Is it right? Newspaper well, the pressure of the title Is it right? Quasi, how rent dormitory, student information how, how teacher contact, the examination place from where I live far, that day will not have diarrhoea. "-- I heard, also panic, so much I can't control factors in the inside, can I? But her boyfriend said: since it is can not control, you can't control, others also can't control, you think it meaningful? I just calm down. But not really calm, in fact, the whole study process I and my friends who study section of the emotion in the process are constantly fluctuating, probably which day do good, began to feel confident, do not read a book is the same, the day of frustration, and start depressed, do not want to read a book -- these are normal, since most of us are not the kind of person to Everything is going smoothly., disturbed and indulgence in allowed range, there is no wrong.
When I was the most painful, is the beginning of 1 to the test, the human emotions become particularly out of control, a little things will temper, I remember very clearly is particularly cold winter last year, one day in the evening want to shampoo, shampoo frozen not squeezed out, I stamped on the crack and then back to the room cry up. The days of addiction is particularly big, to begin at 3 and special guilt, Coffee began to drink, drank heart pounding it and go to sleep.

The above is in the negative situation I am in the process of meaning, in fact, only one, is not to be online postgraduate experience scared, those so-called guarantee more than 10 hours a day, 7 points to sleep 12 points regardless of any influence to expose to wind and rain unshakable external review, not everyone can do it. But the more significance lies in: providing a good example (to know many are 400 examples above), you have to approach it, do it, there may be 400 +, do not, do not force, most people pursue is at least over the line. Some experience is that the short-term success, for example: 3 months admitted to Peking University, master of 100 days, and so on, these experiences is best not to imitate, since we are not expert, don't take your own experiment, but when you review is not too serious, can take the progress of these experiences have a look, as far as possible do the same with their strength, so time is relatively abundant case, is likely to do better than these people. Although there is self comforting feeling, but in the study section of the psychological ability demanding circumstances, self comfort is a must for the non expert.
Test total score was 500, and the master of the fraction line in 340360 between, that is to say, allow buckle nearly 30% of the total scores, and the careful review of the people can see, political and professional courses on the subject. 95% textbooks is the answer, that is to say, the fractional line calls only review "almost", and provides enough unexpected space. 6565230 is 360, it does not need high requirements.

Well, learning the whole is so, not too good, but also not too bad. I said the following review case subjects:

The professional course:

Because 300 is the absolute head, early, early back, it is best to have a global plan, without at least one stage plan. I started to own request is a book, read at least five times, that at least five times. The results and finally finished, read the book seven times, part of the basic course exercises to do five times, two times of comprehensive courses. The first not to pursue the details, details see also can not remember, cannot read things encircled with a pencil. The first role is only one, is to know the general framework of this book in the most short time, know what to learn; second times will begin to look at, and match with the exercises, learning the law is a good case is very important, the exercises are best not to directly above, writing in a book, not the correct rate, each question clear about it. Third times to fifth times and I are closely, master had turned to trend over the years, but the so-called difficult knowledge points, is not difficult, but pay more attention to detail, especially the comprehensive course. For example, in November I took a month's book, but they still feel something never seen, but just in the book a melon corner corner.
Specialized courses of study section of the course, the Internet is everywhere. Listen to the base class that after second times at XX2 and xx1, can listen, so good on the textbooks focus on non key has a understand. But a week before the so-called liquor class, I bought but not listening, felt that the time is too limited, is better to read the book several times. It is heard there is no comprehensive course for my exam is not very good, mainly for my history has no interest in legal history, let me entanglements, seen never remember, but again and again, every family look again. Board the constitution content I have been uninterested, so the test was not high is expected. Comprehensive course to get better, some experience on the reference line, it is the key for endorsement, proficiency program analysis and the final score is proportional to the absolute. Basic courses I was satisfied, I think mainly due to see fine and back in full. From the beginning of the fourth times I put the book may be a big problem with mark pen all ring out, professional courses do not count on the pressure of the title, master of questions form of early ripe, press the so-called is the practice of speculation, may carry 8 of 5 tested, but 3 leave blank certainly can not test scores, but I'm back 300, 8 all are tested, although my output ratio is relatively low, but see the results section.

Need to use the book and use of time:
1 "the master of law degree entrance examination examination analysis" the Ministry of Education Examination Center
This book except the criminal law part of it is the core of the exam, also someone says examination guide is, in fact the two by which the through learning are the same, just the entrance exam of the Ministry of education is a series, the examination content directly from here, and made clear clear, look there is no guide difficulty.
The online experience is usually read the book 5 times, also has the expert to see 20 several times, there is no fixed requirement, there is time to see more, see more times is not wrong.
That is, the exam can look at the entrance exam at the end of the paper case dozens of pages of the score, I think the exam answer questions more useful.
2 "exam outline related exercises," Renmin University of China press
This book is very good, I use head to tail. Focus on basic book of all the relevant case. The inside of the exercises are divided into basic parts, Zhenti part, and ability to improve, Zhenti part is chapter arranges, very easy to use. Part of the foundation in fact with difficulty be roughly the same. To improve the ability of parts will have some difficulty, no knowledge exam analysis, do two times to make it clear, to review the final sprint stage do not improve because of some bad trouble, do not understand directly over the.
3 "important legal interpretation" Renmin University of China press
Method of analysis are the most important parts of criminal law and civil law, and legal history. After watching the first best analysis test, after doing the exercises to see. But unfortunately I didn't realize the importance of the book, but take a detour, criminal law part take judicial examination of the books to read for a long time. To see this to 10 at the end of the month. If you want to do well, this book two times is absolutely not be less.
4 "exam" Renmin University of China press
The main part is the specific provisions of criminal law, made very well. The other part, the content of many miscellaneous, the layout is also very upset. Analysis of the entrance exam guide and some conflict, to exam analysis shall prevail. This book has a long time to see a few times, while the examination is in outline, but also relates to the analysis on the exam is not too heavy with guide is a clear answer.
5 "big" exam Chuanjiang Renmin University of China press
The book was very interesting, and exam analysis are quite different, but has its unique role. Because the publishing time relatively late, but if an early look at it may disrupt the perspective, so is at third times book review time.
6 "the last 5 sets of exam questions" Renmin University of China press
This book is recommended only to look at the big questions. Finally, 5 sets of questions there are several versions, the National People's Congress version is too difficult, the version is too simple, short and not a taste. The National People's Congress version and a thin layer of multiple-choice questions, let me make it is hit, after doing Zhenti found fortunately, lost. Only later found inside the big topic out well, so the exam can also see the topic.

Other such as "standard item bank" classic "case analysis", I think there is no need to buy. Some questions that are too difficult, some too, especially legal history. In fact, get a very basic, not like the exam as some knowledge of hybridity together exam, but this book is in accordance with the test format, in which the review stage are not suitable. Case analysis of spare time have a look okay, no practical effect for the exam, the inside of the case because it is the actual case adaptation, are partial.
As for the spread of the Internet "Huyou three piece set", is not to see, more than 200 pieces of money, rather than their print paper street, the content of many errors, a waste of money, a waste of time.

The professional course and to understand other aspects can also see this post:

English.
My English exam is not very good, but still slightly say, negative experience is valuable to ~. Only done the reading part of nearly 10 years, has been unable to find the feeling, always wrong 6 - 11, so look at the experience of the others speak English to 60 to ensure the reading error within 3, has been very worried. As to the reference books, I only did Zhang Jian yellow, his reading 200 half done, but the good news is that after the fill do well, the new reading is not wrong, the objective questions have 40 points, a total of 57. So English is not very good students don't have to worry about, the other is ready, line is no problem. As many people said Beijing subjective pressure situation, to some extent, or some, but this is actually not too care about, because the pressure together, pressure, and then how to, is nothing more than writing a less than others, except when the need to swap the heart will not too good, the other little effect.

The reference book is I used feel more students reaction better the. Although my achievement is not ideal, but I believe that this book is to make good use of, will achieve good results.
Bibliography:
1 "post graduate entrance English Zhenti analysis and review the ideas (Paper Edition)" a sword + copy
This is I think. Analysis was one of the best, also known as "yellow book", in fact, I use the collector's edition, because at that time didn't know there was a test version, edition typesetting is upset, will waste a lot of time.
2 "new English reading comprehension 150 article" Zhang Jian
I do half of this book, is the November time every day to do two articles, finished look out of ideas, I began to feel English thinking is not thinking, but later I found that every piece of this question will be the only one, that is to say if the review is good enough for these problems, directly give up, reading can be guaranteed 20 wrong within 4. Because after November did Zhang Jian do a few set to write, feel good, so unwisely chose "bad" strategy, December to January, no touch English, perhaps this is a how much harvest much thing, finally and smooth cup at the wrong 9.
3 "section of English syllabus vocabulary items, usage and analysis of" New Oriental
This is I can find the explanation most entire one word book, words often do some strange examination means, so I feel the so-called Kaoyan red book is not very good, benevolent see benevolence. Because I had a test in GRE, my problem is not so much the word. The word also didn't back, in December began to see, basically 10 days again.
4 "160" number one in English Writing
This book should be available on the topic the most complete, the biggest advantage is no template, made more carefully, there are many good sentences.

In addition to say about the situation, especially the first time graduate students, the tension and strange place, each branch are likely to encounter all sorts of situations, but my English is most a: elevator at noon when going out the hotel suddenly broke down, and we were trapped inside ten minutes later he ran down from the 7 floor, finally almost late, these directly cause when I take English for half a day can't calm down, about half an hour. Do the reading time, that time may be too late, I put the table at tight, strict 15 minutes a, do not finish to be end for the next, so finish filling and reading have enough time. That is to say: even if a part is not good, also don't panic, try to ignore it, try to minimize its impact on your back part of the.

Politics.
Politics is not too high, 68, objective 38, in fact, the objective part I'm satisfied. Because I also fear for the most reason is to test the political, the title and volume change have no set number of exam easily lead to pay and harvest is not directly proportional to. Many people said that politics do not have to look at the can test 60 points, I think this is a misunderstanding, the difference between 61 and 69 is large, the latter may directly make the score up to the next level. And although four or five very and seventy or eighty points although is a small probability event, but if not review, the front is a small probability event into the.
Political review, I think I should not to do as many graduate class said, except for the last one month for the simulation of Xiao Xiurong, the other only enough. Study section of the course I did not report, 9 months to get the new syllabus simply cannot read, I put the book aside, no politics in September. By October the classmates borrow tapes to listen to, starting in November, except for one to two days a week morning sleep, basically every morning at two to three hours are used in politics, red treasure book carefully read 2 times, is not careful had 2 times. Also bought pirated copies of the 2000 question, don't feel very well, the five or six chapter, find this book didn't blow so keep pace with the times, 2010, above there are many on the third generation leader questions, just listen to me a liberal arts students don't read this, decisively away. But the book title is too big, the inside of the title and uneven, many super class, many repetitive questions, but also a lot of knowledge too deep, for no liberal arts foundation and don't have much time for us, spend a lot of time to study such a huge book entry with Zhenti, it is not necessary.
Political really want to buy books, also is the last month of the political section and some so-called pressure test. But there are two people in the book, regardless of their advertising how gorgeous, please decisively filter, one is Ren Rufen, one is Xu Zhiming. As for Chen Xiankui, the pressure of the title is very good, but also not recommended 2100 questions, this is the political body of the largest book, perhaps done to how a height that can really like Baidu on some people said, but the professional course is also need to invest a lot of time and energy, so this book comprehensively high value is not high to be considered.
One    Reference book:
1. "Ideological political theory exam outline analytic" examination center of Ministry of Education
It is the story of the "little red book". Many people think that the book is not good, are lost, and to study section of the course materials for the main review. I think this is very undesirable, test data is good, is from the syllabus to, examination content is directly from the program. Things certainly not new information on the test data, and delete things are possible. So, in any case, please refer to this book. Like the joint test of professional course, see again many times is not much.
2. "2011 * * Kaoyan political core point" and supporting the core questions
This book is a liar site can buy. The core question is the biggest benefit of nearly 20 years of organized by chapter, every year, according to the new outline the old problem is deleted, basically a reading can be done, not like doing the whole question as strange and awkward. In addition, the back half of its out of the question, I also don't think to do. There is only so much time, always the most valuable.
3. "Xiao Xiurong 2011 postgraduate ideological and political theory proposition 4 Volume" ultimate prediction
Don't expect the method, this paper is the biggest benefit out of ideas and Zhenti are basic and same, brought the simulation volume, when the final sprint leak fill a vacancy, but the best. It can be back, but the possibility and little
4. Some grind class recording and sprint class review data
I also bought some things about politics, but did not encounter the same problem, so they don't talk nonsense

The situation is the preliminary test, re not writing, experience of the many online, each school is not the same, STL is ready for the personal statement and resume, then add English interview. In addition the requirements of STL in LSAT, that is to say from one end only a month or so time to prepare, but requires is not high on the performance test to 150, can guarantee not because LSAT is brushed, specific LSAT results also did not come out, I will not bother

Finally, I would like to thank several people, one is my boyfriend, for he has been accompanying and bear my bad temper; thanks to several students, together with the review of fruit, zigzag, and helped me: clean, Chen, peas; and 24, the ice cloud are brothers, brothers and toad.
Although this is not what a big success, but it is a new beginning. Dripping grace, Yongquan returns will.

Write a bit more, hope on the back of the mentees help
Also hope that a dream of every person has a bright future
