Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

In an instant, Bei Yuan launched a fierce counterattack again.In the face of almost conclusive evidence, the male lawyer still found a way to fight back. From the impossible, he rediscovered the possibility that exists between the lines, and drew a parabola that could not have existed.

The ability of a lawyer is probably nothing better than this.

Takezawa did not expect that the Beiyuan lawyer on the opposite side could make such a counterattack.Before the trial, Takezawa had also noticed that the expert group within the university actually had disputes over whether Mikiko's paper involved in the case constituted serious academic misconduct.It was also because of this that she chose to present such a self-criticism because she believed that such a confession of plagiarism would be enough to completely crush the other party to death.

However, right now, the iron wall that had been erected was abruptly knocked out by the plaintiff's lawyer.

Takezawa hurriedly replied: "The time of Mei Xizi's confession was earlier than the time when the expert group made the conclusion of plagiarism, which can't explain anything. On the contrary, it proves that the university made the plagiarism determination because it was asking about the specific process of the parties, and it was justified. made under the circumstances.”

As soon as the words fell, Kitahara immediately retorted: "According to the "Regulations on Conferring Degrees of National University Corporations", not all cases of academic misconduct can constitute a reason for revoking a degree. Only serious fraud and misconduct can constitute a reason for revoking a degree. Theory. According to the "Academic Ethics Standards" formulated internally by Kyoto University, Article 21-2 gives the definition of plagiarism. Plagiarism is divided into intentional plagiarism and negligent plagiarism. Among them, negligent plagiarism is mainly due to negligence, omissions, etc. Indicate the source of the cited content."

"That is to say, according to the university's internal academic code of conduct, even if the parties constitute plagiarism, what they constitute may be negligent plagiarism. Although it is an act of academic misconduct, it is not serious fraud and does not meet the statutory requirements for revoking a degree. According to this, even if my client Mikiko admitted plagiarism in the so-called "Review Letter", it still cannot prove that the university has a basis for revoking the degree!"

Takezawa frowned slightly.

The tenacity of the male lawyer in front of her was far beyond her imagination.

But even so, she must not back down half a step.

In the face of this absurd lawsuit, the loss of any line of defense is a shame.

Takezawa took a step forward and said: "The point of view stated by the plaintiff's lawyer is completely incorrect. Mikiko's confession in the "Review Letter" must be understood in conjunction with the entire process of the day. Please don't ignore the other party's attorney. Before Mikiko wrote this Before the review, there have been three hours of interviews with the expert group. During the interview, the professors of the expert group have done a lot of publicity, influence, and education."

"In other words, after the three-hour interview, the review written by Mikiko is essentially an approval of the previous three-hour conversation and the entire investigation process of the investigation team. In this review, Mikiko I have already expressed my willingness to accept any punishment from the investigation team, and if I go back on my word at this moment, how can there be such a reason?!"

In an instant, Takezawa made another rebuttal.

After some sharp rhetoric, he stood firmly in front of the high wall like a statue of a god. …

Bei Yuan was still standing in front of the plaintiff's seat, with a firm expression, and he did not back down.Even if the opponent is a senior administrative litigation lawyer, he will not retreat.Beiyuan looked at Zhu Ze, walking in the courtroom, showing a slight sneer: "Approve the investigation procedure? I want to ask the defendant's lawyer, how do I approve it?!"

The male lawyer's rhetorical question in a rather prudent tone was like a monster baring its fangs in the courtroom, which made the listeners feel cold for a while.

Beiyuan held a work log of the expert group in his hand, pointed to the text on it and said, "There are five major problems in the investigation and interview with the Department of Science!!!"

"First, the subject of the investigation was not disclosed. The interview records show that at the beginning of the meeting, the five professors of the expert group simply introduced their identities and indicated the investigation matters. However, the five professors did not disclose that they represent the degree evaluation of Kyoto University. committee, academic committee to investigate."

"Second, the nature of the investigation was not disclosed. In other words, the five professors in the expert group did not indicate to Mikiko that the investigation was of a punitive nature. Although the five professors indicated to Mikiko that the investigation involved two academic misconduct investigations , but because the previous reply from the Department of Life Sciences to the media journal indicated that the two papers involved in the case had nothing to do with Kyoto University. This has greatly misled my party, Mikiko, to think that the investigation that day was only educational and admonishing, rather than punitive. "

"Third, the consequences of the investigation were not disclosed. Since the punitive nature of the investigation was not disclosed, the panel did not disclose that the most serious consequence of the investigation was that my client's Ph.D. There is no objection to the violation of academic norms, but the objection is whether the degree of this irregularity is serious enough to revoke my client's Ph.D. In this case, in the face of the interview conducted by the panel, it is impossible for my client to fully Express your opinion."

"Fourth, the investigation relief channel was not disclosed. The expert group did not inform my client if the investigation finds facts or conclusions are wrong, what relief channels my client can follow to raise objections to the investigation conclusion. This makes it impossible for Mei Xizi to have any impact on the entire investigation process. Correct understanding."

"Fifth, the follow-up of the investigation was not disclosed. The expert group also did not inform me of the purpose of this review paper after my client wrote it. My client mistakenly believed that the investigation was only educational, and this review paper also It is only reserved for internal use and will not be provided to the outside world. Mikiko thought that the entire so-called investigation process until she finished writing the review and the two papers were withdrawn was the end, and it was not expected that she would be deprived of her degree later. Under such circumstances , the confession of the parties is no longer credible."

Kitahara took a sharp step forward again, "As mentioned above, the five major issues made me, Mikiko, unable to realize the true nature and possible consequences of the investigation at the beginning of the investigation. As a result, my client may have concerns about the university investigation. It’s just an educational misunderstanding. If so, what is the fairness and impartiality of the investigation and interview that the defendant’s representative said?! What kind of effect does the so-called “Review” produced during such an investigation and interview have?! "

Above the court, the five major questions raised by Beiyuan suddenly launched a fierce attack on the side of Kyoto University. At this moment, artillery fire roared, and the bloody battle began...
