刘树德

Liu Shude is an author about whom little public information is available; his writing interests can be glimpsed from the eight works held in the collection. He has long focused on criminal law practice and legal methodology. His Annotated Criminal Law Handbook centers on the organization of criminal law provisions and commentary, while The Subtle Sense of Law: Methods of Legal Reading and Writing Thinking discusses approaches to reading and writing. In the area of adjudication and similar-case research, he co-authored A Guide to Reasoning in Judicial Documents: Argument Structure Schemas and Foundations of AI Application, and wrote A Practical Guide to Similar-Case Retrieval and its second edition, showing sustained engagement with retrieval methods and the organization of adjudication rules. His works also extend to practical studies of specific offenses, such as adjudication rules and application in similar cases involving crimes of infringing citizens' personal rights and crimes of embezzlement and bribery. A further work, Linear Algebra, indicates that his writing is not confined to law but also touches on examination-related subjects. Overall, his writing tends toward the instrumental and methodological, emphasizing the organization of rules and practical application.
