七、Why choose law as your major？（为什么选择法律）
1、回答样式一：
When I was a little boy, my grandfather told me that he wanted me to be a lawyer when I had grown up, because in that age, there were few lawyers in our country, nor did the people who know law. From then on , I knew lawyer、law--these mysterious words.
Several years later, my uncle, a prosecutor ignited my enthusiasm from law with his honesty and hatred of evil. He has dealt with many cases about the corrupted and punished some of them, which made many people fear about him but made him a real hero in my heart. So, from then on, I wanted to be a judge or prosecutor who knows law very well and establish justice in our society. When I have been a college student and got some knowledge about law, I think I have enough reasons to choose it as my major.
2、回答样式二：

In a word, it’s my honor to choose law as my major--my whole-life career. I think in the rest time of my life, I should not only study it well, but also let more people know it, apply it and love it! 1. Law stands for justice and equality. It’s impossible for us to establish a harmonious society without a sound system of law. And of course, our society is in need of qualified people who major in law.
2. Law is an effective instrument, by which I could fight against corruption, bribery, and other unjust or illegal phenomena. It has been also a dream of mine to contribute myself to the course of law and do what I can for China in its process towards a more stable and prosperous society.
3. I have great interest in the Science of Law. And that was why I chose to study law before I entered college. I enjoyed great fun in reading books in the field of law.
八、A lawyer or a judge?

2. I’ll use law as a tool to help the need and the weak, so that I can realize my value in my own work.

As its motto says, “One world, one dream”, the coming Olympic Games will definitely bring a lot of chances and possibilities for anyone with dreams in their mind.
2. I love Beijing also because it is the exact place where Renmin University is located.
During my stay in Beijing in the past few days, I discovered that the people in Beijing are all energetic and full of passion. And to my joy, everything in Beijing is in an wonderful order.

In a word, I am looking forward to making a solid foundation for future profession after two years study here.
2、回答样式二：
1. I choose to major in criminal law. If I can get this opportunity, I will read extensively in this field, so that I could enrich my knowledge and broaden my view. And of course, I understand that theoretical knowledge in law science is far from being adequate for me if I want to become a good lawyer. Therefore, it is necessary for me to relate my knowledge to practical problems of all kinds.
2. I will study English much harder than before, for I am willing to read original classical works written in English, both in the field of law science and in literature, for each book will provide you with a special perspective, which might one day be very useful for you when you tackle with different problems.
3. Critical and creative thinking is also very important for me. I do not want to be just a follower at study. Of course, works that have been done are a good start for us young people. By standing on the shoulder’s of the previous geniuses, we can look further and deeper, but more importantly, we need to ask ourselves what we can contribute to the society. ( 其实不用说这么多，能说一分钟左右就可以了。

)
十一、How to be a good judge?
1. First, I need profound theoretical knowledge in the field of law. You can never build a skyscraper from nowhere. Therefore, profound knowledge in theories is insignificant for anybody who wants to be a good lawyer.
2. Second, a good judge needs a comprehensive knowledge of the society, including knowledge in other fields and knowledge about the society itself. Unexpected cases will crop up anytime, and knowledge at law alone is not sufficient enough.

3. We should follow the tendency of restricting death penalty.

Different countries improve and develop human rights in accordance with their own concrete circumstances. No other countries should interfere one country’s development.
China has made great progress in the legislation and execution of human rights. Chinese people own extensive political, economical, and cultural rights.
The human rights of Chinese people are established in accordance with the social reality in China.
二十六、Reform in legal system(法制改革)
The reform in legal system is one of the important forms of law development. It means reforming from the content to the form of law, from the enactment to the enforcement of law, to meet the needs of changing society. Here, I just want to talk about the characteristics and reasons of the reform in legal system.
The initial aim of the reform in legal system is mainly to establish an efficient and coordinated legal system. So, its tasks are to create some branches of law, draw up new laws, and abandon or modify some old laws. For example, during the process of reformation, China has created the economic law, the business law , the environmental law, and so on. In more than 2000 laws and regulations issued from 1949 to 1979 , half of them were abandoned, one fourth were modified, and one fourth keep valid.
With the improvement of the legal system, people pay more attention to the effect of law. First, people are more concerned with the operation of law in legislation. Second, the reform in the system of judicature is put on the agenda. Third, the improvement of the supervisory system of law is paid more attention. In short, in this stage, the core of reformation is to improve the operating system of law.
But, what’s the ultimate goal of our reform? I think it is to realize rule by law. Meanwhile, to protect the rights of citizen is also its mission.
As we see, the reform in legal system is always accompanied by other social reforms. It’s one of the characteristics of the reform in legal system. Besides the inner conflict between laws, the reform in economic system and political system are the impetus of reform in legal system.
Only if the law adapts the development of society, it could bring its functions into play. But ,the reform may be a long process, and we look forward to the coming of a society ruled by law.
二十七、Division of the science of law（法学体系的划分）
The system of the science of law is an interrelated entirety made up of many branches of the science of law. As a theoretical system, it is changing with the legal theory and practice of law.
To specialize the research, people divide the system of the science of law into many concrete branches according to certain criterions. But because of different angle of observation and research, the division varies from person to person. On the whole, criterions are mainly following: taking the object of research as criterion, the system is divided into the science of Constitution, the science of penal law, the science of civil law and so on; taking the level of research as criterion, it is divided into the science of theoretical law and the science of applied law. The other criterions are the scope of research, the method of research and so on. But to evaluate if such division is scientific, two factors should be considered. The first is whether the division accords with the real appearance of the science of law. The second and more important is whether the division accords with logical rules.
In china, the division of the science of law shows a complicated picture. Some scholars divided it into five classes. They are the science of theoretical law , the science of applied law, the science of the history of law, the science of domestic law, the science of international law. Some scholars divided it into six classes. They are the science of theoretical law, the science of the branch of law, the science of the history of law, the science of legislation, the science of international law and the science of marginal law.
The phenomenon of the science of law has complicated relations, so it is difficult to find a division which is perfect. It just depends on whether the division accords with the appearance of the
science of law and which one is accepted by people more easily. So, I agree to such division, which divides the system into the following classes: the science of theoretical law, the science of applied law, the science of the history of law, the science of comparative law, and the science of marginal law.
二十八、Talk about WTO
WTO is the abbreviation of the world trade organization. It is created in January 1 st, 1995, whose precursor is GATT. Its general headquarter is in Genevese, Switzerland. WTO is the biggest trade organization in the world. There are 137 members in WTO now, the gross trade of which occupies above 95 percent of the world trade. WTO, World Bank and international monetary fund are called the three pillars of the world economic system.
After the effort of 8 years, China entered WTO successfully in the late 2001. It is an opportunity, but also a challenge.
One of the most essential tasks confronting us at present is to abolish the relevant laws and regulations conflicting with the WTO conventions and enact laws that are applicable to those of the WTO. For example, the criminal law of the P.R.C should further improve the relevant rules and regulations concerning the object of trademark protection, the scope of the counterfeit trademark as well as some other crimes against trademark.
二十九、The present situation of judicature（司法制度现状）
Judicature is one of the important forms of the enforcement of law. In China, the subjects of judicature are only the court and the procuratorate. Relevently, the system of judicature is made up of two parts: the system of people’s court and the system of the people’s procuratorate.
In China, the power of judicature is divided into the powers of adjudication, powers of prosecution and the powers of legal supervision. The people’s court exercises the powers of adjudication, and the people’s procuratorate exercises the powers of prosecution and the powers of legal supervision.
From the foundation of China, three main procedure laws were issued in succession. They are the criminal procedure law, civil procedure law and administrative procedure law. In trial, the court follows the principle of public trial, the independence of judicature, the system whereby the second instance is final, the people’s jury system and so on.
The procedure of lawsuit mainly contains the procedure of first instance, procedure of second instance, summary procedure, procedure for trial supervision and procedure of execution.
Now, we are improving the system of evidence, procedure for review of death sentences and so on. To view the China’s system of judicature, we may see that the legislation concerning procedure law is in the process of further improvement, and judicial reformation is also under way.
三十、Talk about the system of lawyer（律师制度）
In China, to be a lawyer, you should pass the national judicial examination first. Then, after the practice in a law firm in one year, you can get the qualification of lawyer. If you want to provide legal service to the public, you should join a law firm. Or you will violate the law.
The lawyer has the obligation of maintaining secret for his customer. According to the law of lawyer, the lawyer should maintain the state’s secrets and his customer’s commercial secrets which he knows because of his work, and the lawyer should not let out the privacy of his customer. If a lawyer lets out the state’s secret, his qualification would be revoked and he may be investigated and affixed criminal responsibilities. If he lets out his customer’s commercial secret and privacy, he would be warned by the judicial and administrative department, or his。
