Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Everyone was stunned, their faces showing shock.

Wait, is this how you defend your work at a review committee?!

You're not even dealing with an ordinary person... you're dealing with Lu Guohua! When did someone like that become someone you can treat like this?!

Thinking of this.

Everyone present couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lu Guohua at the front.

To be honest, most people wouldn't even realize it unless it's particularly obvious.

but. ..

The current time is 2003.

This is also the provincial selection conference!

Whether it's a provincial selection conference or a comprehensive selection conference organized by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the lowest-ranking officials present are all at the division level or above!

Even 90% of them are full-fledged department heads, while deputy department heads like Zhang Bingxin and Huang Shi are secondary partners.

Even if you're a section chief leading a team, the people checking your ID at the entrance won't let you in!

This is not a joke; it's written into the rules.

This resulted in the meeting room being filled with seasoned veterans: dozens of division chiefs and several department-level officials, whose resumes and qualifications were extremely impressive. But then again...

Qualifications and experience are built up over time!

There were very few people under 40 years old at the scene.

Going back 20 years, that was the time when the judiciary was at its strictest.

For someone like Lu Guohua, who is sixty years old, if you push the timeline back forty years, when he was twenty, that would be 73 years.

More than a hundred people were stunned, as if they hadn't heard what the other person had just said.

The back row of the conference room.

"The taste of childhood."

Lin Yue murmured something.

Zhang Bingxin looked at Huang Shi above, then at Lu Guohua below, a man of ministerial rank, his face filled with shock and utter disbelief. Had the other party always been this brave?

Huang Shi has always called himself a scholar-general!

I've never seen this before...

In an instant.

The way everyone in the conference room looked up changed, and there was a hint of mockery in their gazes.

on.

"We have finished speaking. Please give us your instructions."

Huang Shi looked up, determined to stop reading the manuscript.

He was cursing inwardly, and the words he had just said could be considered a direct and watertight response.

But if you're prejudiced... that's a classic case of labeling!

It all depends on how the person asking the question sees it. If you happen to hit their sore spot, then you'd better be prepared for trouble.

Fortunately, it's alright.

Lu Guohua did not dwell on this trivial matter.

Lu Guohua, dressed in uniform and sitting in the first row, glanced at Huang Shi for a moment, then nodded and said:

"good."

"The right to law comes from the people, and the recognition of evil is the people's simple moral sentiment."

"The prosecutors and the people are like one family, exercising their rights within their respective duties and conducting investigations and evidence collection in a legal and compliant manner...that's good."

Let go of the hat.

Lu Guohua was quite satisfied with the answer.

The other party's words can be seen as incorporating the "masses" into the concept of power, indicating that those in power are focused on getting things done and are not acting arbitrarily or tyrannically. It's as if they are voluntarily allowing themselves to be monitored by others.

If this spirit could be widely promoted, the judicial environment would indeed be better!

Lu Guohua nodded.

"I have no objection."

No objections...

All three parties—the public security bureau, the procuratorate, and the court—had no objections!

on.

Huang Shi breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders and his whole body relaxed.

The remaining public security police system does not have any direct conflict with the core of the case, so there is basically no need to worry.

The most difficult tests, the public security, procuratorate, and judicial organs, have all been passed!

as predicted.

The Public Security Bureau only asked some trivial questions and then announced that they had passed and there were no more questions to ask.

The defense is complete.

The host stepped forward with a smile, holding the microphone, and said:

"It can be seen that Case No. 2 received unanimous praise from the audience."

A good start allows others to relax, which makes the meeting more effective.

If you get stumped by two questions in a row...

Then the rest of them... it's not impossible that they might stutter from nervousness!

"The Q&A session for Party, government, and judicial officials is now over."

The host began speaking, moving the process to the next segment.

"Next, the bar association representatives will conduct professional evaluation and questioning."

Bar Association representative!?

That's right.

In addition to official personnel, the selection ceremony will also be attended by members of the Bar Association and other organizations.

In fact, apart from a few leaders, officials only have about 60% of the power in the selection process.

An officially organized event, yet its score only accounts for a mere half!

On the contrary, the combined power of non-governmental bar associations, experts, professors, and retired cadres accounts for a full 40%. If they can unite as one, they can completely influence whether a case can be included in the selection process!

of course.

No one would deliberately exploit this kind of thing.

It usually depends on the attitude of those in power.

If the authorities think it's unacceptable, then it's unacceptable; if the authorities think it's acceptable, then we'll go with the flow.

Huang Shi's defense was excellent, gaining approval from all sides. Theoretically, no one should object, except...

under.

Just as everyone was preparing to score, a hand suddenly reached out from the front row.

The host paused for a moment.

He looked at the person who had raised their hand and said:

"Please let the president of the Bar Association, Attorney Feng Ji, express his views."

Bar Association President?

Feng Ji!?

In an instant, the entire conference room seemed to freeze, and everyone's brows furrowed slightly.

"Feng Ji? Why is Feng Ji speaking up at this critical juncture?"

Everyone was suspicious, and they all turned their gazes forward.

All I saw was...

In the middle of the front row,

Lanhua Law Firm, Director of the Law Firm, First-Class Lawyer, Honorary Professor of a University, Official Judicial Advisor... ...At this moment, Feng Ji, President of the Provincial Lawyers Association, slowly stood up and looked around.

Feng Ji was about fifty years old, looked to be in his prime, had an ordinary appearance, but exuded a scholarly air.

He looked up.

He smiled at Huang Shi.

Huang Shi felt a chill run down his spine; the smile made him extremely uncomfortable.

The next moment, Feng Ji suddenly spoke:

"Distinguished leaders, esteemed lawyers."

Regarding this case...

I'd like to share my personal opinion.

talking.

Feng Ji paused, his tone calm, then continued unhurriedly:

"In this case..."

"Does this opportunistic approach to evidence gathering and surprise attacks by lawyers violate the fundamental principle of integrity in litigation? Does it constitute litigation speculation?"

"How can relying solely on courtroom tactics to win cases while disregarding laws and compliance procedures become a classic model for the industry to learn from?"

The words were spoken.

The people in the conference room erupted in uproar.

The other party seems to be... dissatisfied with this case!?

Expert area.

Experts from various institutions, professors from schools, and senior lawyers from various law firms were invited to attend.

Upon hearing this, he stopped his hand, which was about to give a score, his eyes flickering with a mixture of emotions, revealing no discernible thoughts. He then looked up at Feng Ji, awaiting his instructions.

"What happened? Did you offend him?"

In the back row, Zhang Bingxin frowned and turned to Xu De to ask a question.

Xu De was also unaware of the reason. He frowned and stared at him for a long time before shaking his head. "I don't know him."

Don't know the other person?

Why would the other person ask something when they have nothing better to do?

on.

The host paused, composed himself, and asked:

"Will the attorney handling the case participate in the defense?"

His voice echoed throughout the conference room, and everyone fell silent. After a short while, a voice came from the back row.

"participate."

back row.

Xu De stood up, but didn't walk forward. Instead, he stood still, his gaze passing through dozens of people, fixing on Feng Ji, who had stood up in the front row. A lawyer can be absent from the selection meeting, but if they aren't... in this situation, they can only swallow their pride.

Officials have no right to pose as lawyers and defend themselves!

"I am Xu De, a lawyer from Houde Law Firm in Lvsen City."

"Regarding Case No. 18, I am the lawyer in charge. If Chairman Feng has any questions, he can directly ask me for advice and communication."

Xu De spoke slowly, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, yet clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The words were spoken.

Feng Ji, who was in the front row, turned around and subconsciously glanced at Xu De.

Then he spoke gently:

"Attorney Xu."

"I simply want to ask, regarding the aforementioned case, did your side play a role that...led to bias?"

talking.

His voice rose several octaves.

"These classic cases are not just for public officials to view, but are relevant to the entire judicial industry."

"And in Case 18, this kind of raid with concealed evidence and illegal evidence collection..."

"Once a case is selected as a classic example, will it be studied by other lawyers?"

Is the guidance biased?

That's like saying there are no cases with surprise court hearings these days!

A surprise court hearing isn't something you can just pull off whenever you want. What they're really producing is evidence, some minor and some irrefutable. If you try to stage a surprise hearing out of boredom, you're lucky if the judge doesn't sentence you!

The so-called biased guidance won't cause any problems in itself, but it's worth discussing...

That's hard to say for sure.

"first."

"I can tell Chairman Feng very clearly that the case is not subject to procedural violations, but rather, as the prosecutor stated, it is being temporarily suspended. This is solely because there are indeed clear instances of collusion and destruction of evidence in this case."

Secondly...

Xu De paused, then changed the subject, saying:

"and."

"All private recordings, video recordings, and witness statements are objective facts preserved without inducement, coercion, editing, or alteration, and do not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others."

"at the same time."

"Honest litigation does not mean condoning organized crime and collusion to cover up crimes."

"A lawyer's primary responsibility is to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of vulnerable groups. When faced with wrongful convictions blocking their path and having no way to seek redress, they should uphold justice by reasonably employing litigation strategies and without violating the bottom line of the law."

"I believe this serves as a very positive example."

sometimes.

When a case appears to have no possibility of success, you need to consider where the legal boundaries lie and whether it is possible to complete the case without completely violating the law!

Regarding Case 18.

If other lawyers had handled the case, the defendant Liu Jingqi would absolutely not have been sentenced to death!

Fifteen years?

It would be good if it could last twelve years!

Even with the reduced sentence, under the current law, he might not even be able to serve six years!

This is what it means to follow the rules, but Xu De chose to skirt the edges, revealing the truth within the bounds of legality...

Is it possible that publicizing this is an extremely egregious act?!

I disagree.

front row.

Feng Ji shook his head slightly, a gentle and polite smile on his face.

"If this practice is set as a benchmark, it could easily lead to industry-wide imitation, fostering unethical practices such as illegal evidence collection and procedural manipulation!" "This approach deviates from the original intent of classic cases, and the promotional message is clearly unbalanced!"

"Gentlemen, please investigate this case carefully."

The words were spoken.

He didn't give Xu De a chance to respond, and sat down directly, clearly not intending to listen anymore.

The experts present, along with the other professors and lawyers, exchanged glances.

Even some public officials who were initially persuaded were now frowning, clearly deep in thought.

This case.

From an official perspective, publicizing this would be beneficial for public officials.

But if we step outside of public office and look at the legal profession...

When lawyers see a case like this, they inevitably learn from Xu De.

However, this unreplicable situation is impossible for anyone to understand, leaving them utterly clueless. Yet, Feng Ji's statement isn't entirely without merit. Therefore...

"Please rate Case No. 2 on your paper score sheet."

The host began.

After a moment of silence, everyone in the meeting room began to score the papers together.

See here.

Huang Shi opened his mouth, but in the end, he took a deep breath and walked out.

"Next, please welcome case number 3..."

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The selection meeting concluded on January 20th.

Inside the Blue Flower Law Firm.

When Feng Ji drove back to that magnificent office building and walked towards his office on the clean floor,

Upon seeing the newcomer, Sun Qiao, who was in the hall, followed him discreetly.

Once the other person entered the office, he followed closely inside, then closed the door. He then looked at Feng Ji and said calmly, "Director, I just received some inside information."

"The score for the case of No. 18 Middle School in Midori City is much lower than the average score of previous years. It is unlikely that there will be any chance."

Lawyers and others hold 40% of the score weight.

The president's call was met with overwhelming support.

To be honest, no case can stop it.

Unless it's an official selection!

For example, in cases like cracking down on organized crime, it's necessary to set an example for the entire province, with 60% of public officials working together to directly overpower them. Of course, they won't object to these kinds of cases.

As for point 18... of course, you can refute it at will!

"Heh heh, let's contact that lawyer."

I heard that the harvest was plentiful.

A slight smile appeared on Feng Ji's face, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

The decapitation effect has been achieved.

Frankly speaking, in such a situation where one tries so hard but still feels powerless, most people would lose all their willpower and determination.

"He should know that the power of the Bar Association cannot be resisted by an individual or a single lawyer."

"Go, suck out his last bit of spirit, then negotiate!"

Feng Ji spoke without hesitation.

No lawyer doesn't want to be nominated for a classic case.

Since Xu De has come, it means he also wants to.

Of the two cases, one that was originally approved has been rejected by the Bar Association, leaving only one case remaining.

At this point, applying a little pressure... greatly increases the chances of the other party compromising.

only..

"Should we go now at this critical juncture?" Sun Qiao suddenly hesitated.

"Isn't that too sensitive?"

If you hit someone and then offer them a sweet treat, you have to make sure you don't get bitten.

It's still under review, what if it gets caught...?

"If we don't go now, are we going to wait until the 15th, after the Lijiacun case selection is over, to go?" Feng Ji asked rhetorically.

Sun Qiao paused.

He understood what the other person meant.

greedy.

greedy!

Extremely greedy!

The other party's intention was not to suppress the other party, but to win them over while reaping the benefits of a classic case for themselves!

Even if it involves risks... Of course, the risks are not significant.

These inexperienced young lawyers can't make much of a splash, and this isn't the first time Blue Flower Law Firm has done something like this.

"Who should we look for?" Sun Qiao asked.

"Is Attorney Sun available?" Feng Ji asked.

Sun Qiao cursed inwardly; it was obvious the other party was trying to make him take risks, and he wasn't going to fall for it.

"I'll make the arrangements."

Sun Qiao left the office without making a sound. After thinking it over, he found a senior executive and gave him some instructions.

Upon hearing this, the executives inwardly cursed.

He's never involved in good things, but he's always the one taking the blame and risking his life!

The executive outwardly agreed, but then went to find the others. ...
