With the publication of "Shingwang's Complete Summary of Criminal Procedure Law (Investigation and Evidence)"...


We would like to express our gratitude to the many test takers who have shown their support and expectation for the publication of 『Shingwang Eun's Criminal Procedure Law Past Exam Summary (Investigation and Evidence)』 with their generous love and unstinting interest.


I would like to assure you that the author has personally solved the past exam questions included in this book from beginning to end, analyzed and reconstructed the questionnaire, and added appropriate explanations to maximize the learning effect. This is because I have invested considerable time and effort into this book.


If actual past exam questions are included in their original form, the pages of the past exam question book will become too thick. However, if only some of the past exam questions are included, there is the inevitable problem of important past exam questions being omitted. And even if past exam questions are selected and included to control the quantity, in addition to the problem of past exam questions being omitted, there are fundamental problems such as the fact that there will be a lot of unnecessarily duplicated questions and the learning effect will inevitably be reduced because the questions are structured without regard to the topic or issue.


To overcome the fundamental problems of these original-text-based past exam questions, 『Shingwang Eun's Criminal Procedure Law Past Exam Questions Summary (Investigation and Evidence)』 has reorganized all past exam questions likely to appear on the exam by topic.
In addition, we have maximized the effectiveness of studying past exam questions by not only studying all of them without exception, but also eliminating duplicate questions and allowing students to study past exam questions that are appropriate for the topic they are studying.
In addition, to solve the problem that studying through past multiple-choice questions can easily become studying to find answers or studying to get used to things regardless of the issue, all past questions have been rearranged according to the issue so that solving the questions naturally leads to understanding the issue and supplementing any shortcomings, making it a practical learning experience.

In addition, we have strived to ensure that test takers can fully understand and learn while solving the problems through effective composition of past exam questions and more thorough explanations.


The main features of this book are as follows:


1. Includes all previous Criminal Procedure Law (Investigation and Evidence) exam questions from the past 15 years (2011-2025)

This textbook includes all the past questions from the 7th grade national civil service exam in September 2025, which was recently implemented, as well as all the past questions from the Criminal Procedure Act for the past 15 years (2011-2025), including police recruitment, promotion, and executive positions, court positions, prosecution positions, correctional positions, coast guard recruitment, promotion, and executive positions, as well as police academy transfer and firefighter positions, so that you can sufficiently prepare for all series of exams.


2. Understand exam trends and prepare for expected questions through the latest exam questions.

By examining the latest exam questions from previous series, we have been able to grasp future exam trends and thoroughly study the questions with a high probability of appearing on the exam, allowing you to fully prepare for the upcoming exam.


3 Rich and complete explanations to help you understand the problem accurately.

For each problem, we have provided a rich and detailed explanation as well as a summary of reference points. For both incorrect and correct passages, we have supplemented the parts that require additional explanation with articles, tips, and detailed explanations. We have also emphasized in bold the parts that need to be checked and memorized through the problem, so that test takers can understand the problem on their own and study without difficulty.

4. Strategic learning through confirmation learning and Hyper O·X

Important and core questionnaires are reviewed again through 'confirmation learning' to enhance the learning effect through repeated learning, and questionnaires with high difficulty or a low probability of appearing on the test are selectively studied through 'Hyper OX' to enable strategic learning suited to the test taker's ability.

※ The star indicators were previously used to indicate difficulty levels of ★★★ high, ★★ medium, and ★ low, but now indicate importance levels of ★★★ (very important), ★★ (important), and ★ (normal).

5 Reconstruction of problems that fit the key issues and learning topics of the case law

By reorganizing the legal principles and learning content that are the main issues of the case law into a single question for each issue, the issue can be naturally understood and learned while solving the previous exam questions.


6 Analytical learning through rearrangement of similar and comparative fingerprints

By rearranging the original text questions in a comprehensive manner according to the learning order by topic and issue, we have enabled analysis and distinction of similarities and subtle differences between the texts.

Maximize learning effectiveness through 7 readings and past exam questions by fingerprint

By displaying the number of times read as “1/2/3” at the top of each question, we wanted to help test takers check the number of times read while studying repeatedly, and by changing the display of previous questions that was previously displayed for each question to display for each passage except for case studies, we wanted to help test takers maximize their learning effect by efficiently and intensively studying the areas they are lacking.


- Changes in the presentation method of past questions

· 1st, 2nd, 3rd patrol officer → 1st, 2nd, 3rd patrol officer / Police SWAT → Superintendent / Police promotion → Superintendent / Police officer → Superintendent / Police university transfer → Superintendent
· National Civil Service Grade 9 → National Civil Service Grade 9 / National Civil Service Grade 9 Introduction → National Civil Service Grade 9 Introduction / Court → Court / National Civil Service Grade 7 → National Civil Service Grade 7
· Coast Guard 1st, Coast Guard 2nd, Coast Guard 3rd → Coast Guard 1st, Coast Guard 2nd, Coast Guard 3rd / Coast Guard promotion → Coast Guard officer / Coast Guard officer → Coast Guard officer
· Firefighter → Firefighter
· Bar exam → Bar exam
· Special recruitment for law → Special recruitment for law

This textbook not only includes all previous exam questions from all series, but also offers meticulous attention to detail, including rich explanations, summaries, reading checks, and keyword emphasis, to help test takers achieve the best results in the shortest possible time.


I sincerely hope that all test takers will achieve high scores and pass the Criminal Procedure Law exam through this book. I also sincerely hope that you will take care of your health during the difficult exam period.

Bravo your life!!
