I'm really confused with Oxford's requirement about the written work. Can anyone tell me what topic should it be? Does Oxford fix any particular topic for each year admission? Is there any format? Please help!!!

The only requirement, as I recall (I have a place for the coming year), is that it should be around 2000 words. There's no stipulation as to topic or format, and I would suggest that pretty much any legal topic would be suitable. I think the important thing is that is original work showing evidence of strong analytical ability (e.g. a critical discussion of a judgment), as opposed to being descriptive or factual (e.g. a summary of the law in a certain area).
If you've submitted a piece of work of that kind that's around 2000 words for your undergraduate degree for which you received a first class mark, I'd use that.

I agree. I submitted an essay about whether there's a "democratic deficit" in the EU, why that's significant and how it can be addressed.
Have a look at the selection criteria and make sure that the essay you submit demonstrates the abilities they're looking for. There's some more detailed information about the technical requirements on the Graduate Admissions Office website.
Good luck!

The topic definitely doesn't matter at all - as long as it's a legal topic in some way. The topic of the written work does not need to correspond to the work you wish to do in Oxford.
The important thing is to demonstrate your writing and analytical abilities. And that you can write in English.
