Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Do you believe it...?

Du Wei fell into deep thought.

He was from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, so he naturally understood that Xu De wasn't just making empty promises.

The foundation of law is faith!

But the words came back again.

Trust is based on conformity with "public order and good morals," that is, morality.

However, the purpose of law is to maintain social stability, not to rely on moral forms.

Therefore, conflicts often arise between the two, which can undermine the level of trust in the law.

Of course, this is unrelated to this case.

"Attorney Xu, may I ask you something?"

In a daze.

Du Wei suddenly spoke up, staring at the young face above him, and asked:

"This case has been exceptionally designated as a classic case, and the threshold for determining self-defense will continue to be lowered in the future."

Will this completely disrupt the sentencing hierarchy in criminal law and undermine the balance of the overall penal system?

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Du Wei in surprise.

Sentencing is not determined arbitrarily by a single criminal law, but rather by a holistic ranking.

for example.

If petty theft were now convicted and sentenced to death...

So.

How should crimes like robbery, rape, poisoning, and arson be punished?

That's a capital offense!?

No, that would lead to confusion in sentencing.

of course.

What surprised everyone wasn't this, but rather... that the other person was discussing this with a lawyer!?

Lu Guohua paused, shut his mouth, and began to listen.

"What's being lowered is the mindset used for judgment."

"It's not about how lenient the sentencing is, but about setting a classic standard."

Xu De answered without hesitation.

Du Wei paused for a moment, then nodded.

The sentencing guidelines are already written into the law.

Xu De's intention wasn't to impose a harsh or severe sentence; he simply wanted to ensure that those who met the criteria could use the law. While this was related to sentencing, it wasn't a major factor. (A moment of daze.)

Du Wei suddenly spoke again:

"If this case is recognized as a classic example and widely referenced, similar acts of self-defense through self-defense in civilian conflicts will become commonplace..."

"Will this lead to a significant increase?"

The moment the words were spoken.

The atmosphere gradually became lively.

This differs from Lu Guohua's first question, which was about the authority and prestige of the author.

Du Wei's case is purely the core issue of the entire legal principle of "legitimate self-defense"!

Yes.

If the government promotes legitimate self-defense, it means that most people, when faced with a situation, will not hesitate but will take action directly. Doesn't that sound in line with public order and good morals?

But don't forget what I just said.

Public order and good morals are the foundation of legal provisions, but not the purpose of law!

Marxism explicitly states that law is a tool used by the ruling class to maintain social stability.

It's not something that upholds public order and good morals!

Social stability does not require you to preach morality, but rather to prevent conflicts from breaking out and escalating.

And to promote legitimate self-defense.

This will absolutely lead to a stable decline!

Off the field.

The discussion was heated.

"Hiss... Shouldn't this kind of issue be discussed in a small meeting...?"

"I don't know, this question... is a bit tricky. If it could be solved, this person wouldn't be a lawyer; they should be working in the provincial government!" "Wow, if this could be solved, forget the provincial government, they'd go straight to Beijing..."

The servant spoke up, saying something repeatedly.

Xu De, however, did not hear of these disturbances.

As for the meaning behind Du Wei's words... he understood; he understood perfectly what the other person was saying.

But then a problem arises...

"What has truly increased is not unprovoked counterattacks!"

"It's about the public's awareness of daring to protect themselves legally when faced with illegal infringements!"

"The increased awareness of self-defense is not the cause of the frequent incidents; rather, it is the lack of self-defense awareness among residents that emboldens criminals to harm others!" "Only by establishing standards and ensuring self-protection within reasonable limits can we stop illegal infringements!"

Xu De spoke again, still without looking at the manuscript, and spoke in a short time.

Self-defense is not an encouragement to kill without cause.

It means that you can defend yourself after being harmed!

at this time.

If you put yourself in the victim's shoes, would you rather bully someone who won't fight back, or a victim who will? What if everyone would fight back? Would you then stop your aggression?

Most importantly...

In a daze.

Before anyone could react, they took a deep breath and pondered.

on.

Xu De dropped another bombshell.

"Article 20 of the existing Criminal Law, 'Legitimate self-defense,' I would like to ask you all, is the original intention of this law to protect the victims?"

"But in practical applications..."

"Is he protecting a victim... or a perpetrator!?"

talking.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly, without any hesitation, he blurted out everything he wanted to say.

"Take the current concept of 'self-defense' for example."

"For existing laws to be invoked, residents need to be in a situation where they have already been harmed, and then consider whether they can resist and whether they should resist." "Furthermore, if they should resist, to what extent should they resist?"

"These are all concerns!"

"But the perpetrators never seem to have these concerns..."

When someone is being harmed, you should first consider how to take action.

How is that possible!

But once you take action, you'll be judged as engaging in "mutual combat." If you kill them in self-defense... then you'll be a murderer and will be sentenced. After sentencing, three or four years seems like a light sentence.

Don't forget, humans are social animals!

Everything you need for your life comes from society.

Who would want to live with someone whose criminal record says "murder"? Would a boss hire such a person? Would someone of the opposite sex be attracted to them?

These are all constraints.

To bind someone who should have resisted, but was unjustly harmed!

"In summary..."

Xu De looked around, completely lacking the calm and logical rigor expected of a defense.

On the contrary, he even asked a question in return.

"Currently, regarding Article 20 of the Criminal Law, 'legitimate defense,' this law..."

"Is the focus on protecting the perpetrator and preventing retaliation, or on protecting the victim's life?!"

The moment the words were spoken.

The entire scene.

Everyone's eyes widened instantly, their faces showing shock, and they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, their emotions surging like a tidal wave.

They subconsciously looked at the people in front of them, especially Du Wei and Lu Guohua.

As Xu De said.

This is precisely the core factor in the current controversy surrounding "legitimate self-defense".

The defender is unable to defend himself and dares not take action.

"Materials. All materials!"

"So much material!"

Conference hall.

The journalists, who had been quiet for six days, now had their eyes shining and quickly raised their rusty cameras to take pictures. They were incredibly excited.

Good guy.

Get right up close and unleash your ultimate attack!

As expected of a 25-year-old, she's incredibly bold, like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, daring to ask such questions in front of Du Wei and Lu Guohua!

As for the rest...

I felt my heart racing, my blood boiling, and even my breathing becoming rapid.

"Wow, incredibly audacious... This isn't just having the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, this is downright outrageous!"

"Being outside the system gives them confidence when asking questions..."

"Wow, so many lawyers came here, but I never saw them have this kind of confidence..."

"Let's discuss the case. I think we can give it a try regarding the review process. We're not the Supreme Court, after all."

The murmurs from the audience gradually grew louder.

before.

Du Wei remained silent for a while, then shook his head, clearly indicating that he was not going to speak again.

As for Lu Guohua, Song Xuejiang, and the others, they were asked some routine questions, which, despite being tricky, were still answered by the other party with a very high level of skill. After a while...

The host enters.

"In the expert area, do the experts present have any questions for the handling lawyer and the handling team?"

Listen to what the host is saying.

The crowd below paused, reacting in various ways.

Most people hesitated and ultimately chose not to speak.

Du Wei and Lu Guohua asked very tricky questions, which pointed directly to the core of "legitimate self-defense".

They had nothing else to ask, and asking would be pointless.

of course.

It's not that there aren't people who don't want to speak up.

For example, Feng Ji.

"this"

Feng Ji fell into thought. He glanced hesitantly at Xu De, his eyes full of calculation.

to be frank.

He wanted to make this case a classic example so that Blue Flower could overshadow it and reap the rewards of victory.

But then again...

The way they just improvised... did they seem like someone who was sitting idly by, waiting to be swallowed up?

"There is a problem with Sun Qiao's information."

Feng Ji immediately grasped the core of the matter, his brows furrowing as Sun Qiao's words flashed through his mind.

In just one day and one night, Sun Qiao actually managed to say that this kind of person was willing to accept Lanhua's acquisition...

If it were possible before the review, but right now...

How is that possible?!

During the review process, the other side even dared to criticize Du Wei, throwing out the most dreaded yet most incisive questions to his face.

Is this the kind of person who would give in for a classic case?

unless..

The other party was also plotting something.

"Something's not right, something's definitely not right..."

Feng Ji pondered for a moment, and ultimately chose to remain silent for the time being.

He felt it was best not to do anything for now, and to analyze the other party's subsequent actions after the review was over.

Feng Ji left in silence.

When the members of the Bar Association saw that he didn't make a move, their eyes flashed with surprise, and they quickly suppressed their eagerness.

The entire scene fell silent.

The host asked again, "Does anyone have any further questions?"

No.

still none.

a long time.

Lu Guohua shook his head, raised his hands slightly, and then clapped them together.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out.

"Slap! Slap!"

This is applause.

The sound, like a ripple in a pool, started from Lu Guohua and spread throughout the entire conference room.

At first, it was just him.

Immediately, it was Song Xuejiang and his group.

Next came the experts, and finally, the entire conference room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Slap slap slap!!!"

"Tsk, well done, this case..."

"Outstanding talents emerge from among the young!"

Everyone praised her without reservation, and at the same time began to write down the scores they wanted to give, waiting to collect them later.

Some people also expressed their feelings.

"This judging panel meeting was definitely worth attending..."

"These kinds of cases are rare, maybe one in ten years, and they can even be resolved satisfactorily..."

"What a pity, why did he become a lawyer? If this kid had joined the system... tsk, I can't even imagine what he would have accomplished in the future."

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

No one spoke during the Bar Association's hearing, and the few people from the public security, procuratorate, and court in the front row stopped asking questions.

The sixtieth case is the final case; there is no 61st case.

So, at this point, we can say that...

The review meeting is about to end.

The fact that it ended with those questions makes it one of the most perfect meetings in recent years.

"Not bad, not bad... Green Forest City has produced a capable person."

before.

Du Wei nodded to Lu Guohua and the others, a hint of emotion showing on his face.

He remembered an old man who, out of spite, ran off to Green Forest City to live in seclusion. All these years later, they hadn't even exchanged a single word. And this lawyer... was he that old man's student?

No, this looks like Yenching University.

at the same time.

on.

The host breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward with a smile, and began to speak:

"Case number 60 is the last one to be reviewed this time. Next..."

He was just about to say something according to procedure.

But unexpectedly...

Xu De suddenly spoke, interrupting him.

"Respected leaders and comrades."

"Regarding this case, I would like to share some personal reflections on this review meeting, and I would appreciate your permission."

Share your personal thoughts?

The host paused, then hesitated, "Attorney Xu, isn't this somewhat irregular? The meeting has already..."

Du Wei suddenly spoke, interrupting him.

"Host, it's alright."

"this"

The host hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded at Xu De.

Now.

The entire conference room fell silent, except for Feng Ji, who suddenly felt a nameless panic and looked up at Xu De.

Just when everyone was wondering what Xu De was up to...

In a daze.

Xu De made a move.

He lifted his clothes, tucked a document into his hands, and pulled it out...

bank card?

Everyone was surprised and slightly stunned.

Just as everyone was confused, in a daze... the other party suddenly said something astonishing.

"Before the start of this provincial review, Feng Ji, the president of the Qingwu Provincial Bar Association, had offered me a quota for criminal cases in exchange for this review conference."

"Chairman Feng Ji attempted to coerce and bribe me into acquiring the law firm I work for."

"Otherwise, we will use suppression and collectively low scores to stop the cases handled by Green Forest City from progressing."

"At the review meeting held on the 20th, the president of the Bar Association, Feng Ji, did such a thing."

"Among the cases submitted by Lusen City for evaluation, the 'No. 18 Middle School Case' was deliberately given a low score by the Bar Association."

talking.

Xu De, who was on the platform, reached out and waved the bank card around.

This is..

Suddenly.

Everyone present seemed to realize something, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Feng Ji's pupils contracted, and he felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He immediately stood up and angrily said:

"Shameless."

"This is a shameless slander!"

"I have never owned this card!"

"Shameless?"

Xu De sneered, completely ignoring his words, and suddenly changed the subject, saying:

"The purpose of this meeting is to safeguard residents' peaceful and prosperous lives and to mediate social conflicts through fair cases."

"But... lawyer Feng Ji, for personal gain, disregarded the bar code and regarded the true meaning of the review as mere sand."

"Using one's position for personal gain!"

"Then, I'd like to ask, what about this behavior...?"

"Isn't that shameless?"

talking.

The next scene was one of complete silence.

Xu De's tone, however, was filled with suppressed anger as he took a deep breath.

"Bang!"

He slammed his hand heavily on the table, and a questioning voice resounded in the ears of everyone present.

"Isn't this utterly shameless?!"
