Abstract: “Being proficient in both literature and laws” was not a general state for legal qualities of scholar-bureaucrats in Song Dynasty. Judging from the judicial environment of “powerful bureaucrats and weak officials” and the performance of all scholar-bureaucrats in “A Yun Case” in Song dynasty, it is safe to say that the legal qualities of scholar-bureaucrats would probably be not that good. As for the ancient Chinese legal culture,only the judgment based on objective facts will definitely be of benefit to the further exploration of this issue.

Key words: Song Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats, legal qualities, research
