Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Jincheng law firm.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Wei came back.

After he came out of the detention center, he immediately went to the city court and submitted an application for "summary procedure".

The simplified procedure, to put it bluntly, is a fast trial.

Although criminal cases require a jury of 12 people, and each trial will consume a lot of financial and material resources.

However, for some cases with less social impact and less harmful behavior, the judicial system will also simplify the trial of the case, which is the summary procedure.

The temporary jury of 6 people skipped the evidence discovery stage, and both the prosecution and the defense only summoned witnesses to testify in court to try the case quickly.

While saving judicial resources, it can also reduce the loss of human resources for both the prosecution and the defense, which can be a win-win situation.

When Zhang Wei returned to the office, he found that Li Yueqin and the others were still there, and one or two were surrounding Tie Ruyun.

"Why don't you go to see the client, what are you doing around the old iron, he is not a suspect?"

Looking at the three people who were a little nervous, Zhang Wei asked directly.

His voiceover: Although I know that this is the first time you have taken over a case, can you be more professional?

The three of Li Yueqin are acting like students who have been assigned a task but don't know how to complete it, so they can only surround the teacher and ask questions.

At first glance, it looks like a rookie who is afraid of doing wrong things, afraid of this and that.

"What do you know, we are just in case, ask the team leader what's wrong, we are the ones who want to win the case!"

When Jin Mingming heard Zhang Wei's words, his face became unhappy, and he retorted with his waist in his arms.

He was very nervous at the moment, so Zhang Wei's words just gave him a chance to vent.

"Hehe, I'm so scared to death, why are you still using my presence here?"

Zhang Wei sneered inwardly, but he didn't take Jin Mingming's words, because he didn't want to argue with a rookie.

Now everyone has cases on hand, and when the four cases are all over, the right to speak in the office will be decided.

Whoever wins the lawsuit can speak loudly in the office, and whoever loses the lawsuit can only speak in a low voice. This is the unspoken rule among lawyers.

Jingle Bell!

At this moment, the landline in front of Tie Cuilan rang.

This voice attracted the attention of everyone including Tie Ruyun.

"Hello, Jincheng Law Firm's criminal team, who are you?"

"Oh, it's the Municipal Court, who are you looking for?"

"Summary procedure? The application has been approved? Let me inform Attorney Zhang that the court will start at 8:40 on Friday morning, small court B on the second floor, yes, yes, I understand..."

Tie Cuilan hung up the phone, then looked at Zhang Wei.

"Sister Cuilan, needless to say, I know, at 8:40 am on Friday morning, the 2B small court, my client and I are going to court..."

"What small court 2B, it's called court B on the second floor!"

Tie Ruyun on the side immediately retorted, and then asked: "You applied for summary procedure, which is not good for you. Without supporting evidence, will the jurors trust your witness?"

"Old man, that's just a prostitution, and it's still an attempt. Don't you think about prostitution? Men have such thoughts more or less, right?"

"this……"

The corners of Tie Ruyun's mouth twitched, it was really difficult for him to answer this question.

If the answer is "yes", how can I behave? How do you let the three women in the office see me?

If you answer "no", don't you admit that you are not a man?

As expected of this kid, one question makes people speechless!

But Tie Ruyun is the leader after all, he quickly changed the topic: "I will also go to the trial of this case. After all, this is your first case in the criminal team, and I will watch the whole process!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too!"

Lin Yumeng on the side hurriedly interjected with excitement.

Although Li Yueqin and Jin Mingming didn't reveal it, they both wanted to go there. After all, they could see the trial on Friday, and it was Zhang Wei's trial as the defense. How could they miss this opportunity to observe closely.

This is also to add experience to one's own trial.

"By the way, although this case has little impact, the evidence is conclusive. With the testimonies of the members of the Military Association and that lady alone, you can completely convict your client, right?"

Although Lao Tie was not optimistic about Zhang Wei, he still asked, "How are you going to defend that exhibitionist?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei raised a finger: "Love!"

"love?"

Tie Ruyun and the three friends around him looked at each other in blank dismay, completely unaware of what Zhang Wei wanted to express.

What the hell is love? Does this case have anything to do with love?

"That's my defense!"

Zhang Wei was still laughing, although he himself felt a little outrageous, but it didn't prevent this from being a good way of thinking.

"Actually, it's easy to say, my client fell in love with that lady, so he followed her into the room, that's all!"

"What did you say?"

"Old Tie, are your ears okay? I speak Dragon Mandarin?"

After Zhang Wei made a joke, he shrugged: "Besides, don't everyone advocate freedom of love now?"

"Even if it's an exhibitionist, even a young lady, they have the right to freely choose their love, right!"

"But……"

"Old man, let me ask you, if you go whoring, but you have no feeling for that lady, will you sleep (sleep) with her?"

"Ah, this..."

Tie Ruyun was stopped by Zhang Wei again.

At the same time, he also noticed that, including Tie Cuilan, the three girls in the office were all looking at him.

Well, he still chooses to shut up, this question cannot be answered.

"Right, you don't speak anymore, doesn't that mean you acquiesce!"

But Zhang Wei chuckled, and continued: "If you want to prostitute, you must first have feelings for the lady. That feeling may be purely for lust, or it may be your love at first sight for the lady. Anyway, who can explain the way here clearly?" ?”

"Emotions are something that even God can't understand, let alone a jury. This is my way of thinking in court!"

Tie Ruyun just wanted to refute, but suddenly felt that the idea of ​​court braids was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and he didn't know how to refute.

You also graduated from law school, why can you be so handsome?

"Okay, my case is over, how about you?"

Zhang Wei immediately turned his attention away from himself and looked at Li Yueqin and the others.

"Well……"

Seeing Zhang Wei in this way, the three of them were immediately stunned.

Also in the same group, also a newcomer, Zhang Wei can chat and laugh with Tie Ruyun.

He also met with the client, and all the court thoughts are ready, and the court will start on Friday.

And what about them?

Now he is still asking around Tie Ruyun, and he is even more entangled in his heart. He has not even decided in his heart when to see the client.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Zhang Wei knew their hearts.

"My suggestion, the sooner you go to see the client, the better. After you go, ask more questions, such as the time and place where the case happened, whether there are any witnesses, etc., you must ask clearly. The time can even be earlier. Ask 30 minutes before the incident, 60 minutes before the incident, where and what he was doing, whether he had an alibi, etc..."

Zhang Wei immediately provided help to Li Yueqin and the other three based on his own experience.

However, he didn't say much about his suggestions, and many of them were questions that ordinary criminal lawyers would ask.

"By the way, let me add one last thing. You have to rely on your own experience to judge whether the client's words are credible. This is the most difficult skill for criminal defense lawyers, but it is also the most needed skill. Because ordinary criminals, they will In order not to go to jail, if you say anything against your will, you need to pay attention!"

The three of Li Yueqin looked at each other, the client said he was not lying, how could they judge it?

Perhaps seeing that the three newcomers were not very confident, Tie Ruyun hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, you three. I will keep an eye on this case throughout the whole process. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Now let's go one by one. Let's go see the client first!"

"Then let me go first!"

Li Yueqin volunteered to stand up, since everything must be the first, then she will be the first!

As the criminal team, she considers her "experience" the first, and she must make a good start when she says anything.

After all, she has participated in so many long court trials, and has been a clerk for so long, a mere case is absolutely nothing to worry about!

At least Li Yueqin told herself so in her heart.

Jin Mingming glanced at the hesitant Lin Yumeng, and hurriedly said: "Then let me be the second one!"

He was paying attention in his heart, after watching Zhang Wei's trial, he would look at Li Yueqin's case again, and when it was his turn, he knew it in his mind.

As for the last one, Tie Ruyun has limited energy after all, and when it's the last person's turn, the team leader may be tired.

Therefore, he decided to sacrifice Lin Yumeng. For his own victory, everyone else was in the way!

The thought was selfish, but Jin Mingming was thinking of himself at the moment.

"Oh, then I can only be the last..." Seeing that everyone had spoken, Lin Yumeng could only say the last.

"It's okay, I will help you!"

Zhang Wei hastily squeaked.

Anyway, when it was Lin Yumeng's turn, his case was already over, so he could just help Mengmei.

Moreover, he had studied Lin Yumeng's case for a while before, and he already knew it well.

"Okay, I'll take you to meet the client, but you have to come one by one. Today I will meet two first. I want to meet the clients of Li Yueqin and Jin Mingming. Lin Yumeng, do you want to come together?"

"I..." Lin Yumeng glanced at Zhang Wei.

"Go, go, just study, isn't the old man still there?"

Seeing what Zhang Wei said, Lin Yumeng naturally went out with Li Yueqin and the other three.

In the entire Criminal Division office, only Zhang Wei and Tie Cuilan were left.

"Sister Cuilan, do you think the three of them can do it?"

Tie Cuilan did not expect that Zhang Wei would actually ask herself a question.

"Uh... I'm not a lawyer, how can I judge?"

"You are not a lawyer, but you have been in the Criminal Division for so long, you must have met many new lawyers, do you think the first case of the three of them will be successful?"

"I don't think... can't..."

Tie Cuilan thought for a while, and admitted with some embarrassment:

"I have been in the law firm for so long. I have met many newcomers not only in the criminal department, but also in the entire litigation department. However, in this first case, especially the first trial, there are really very few people who can win the case. few."

"It's about the same as I thought. The three of them probably will lose the lawsuit in the first round..."

At this time, Zhang Wei's expression was very indifferent, as if he had expected the failure of the three of them, he looked on calmly like a machine without emotion.

But the next moment, he changed his smile in seconds.

"Hey, it happens that there is no one in the office, and the leader is not here, so hurry up and make a video call with Hanhan to see how she is doing recently..."

Seeing Zhang Wei, who made the ruthless remarks just now, suddenly became playful and smiling again, Tie Cuilan was astonished.

Is this the same person? Was my eyes dazzled just now?

Why does this kid look like a double-faced person?

For the whole afternoon, Tie Ruyun and the others didn't come back, and Zhang Wei got off work when he got there.

He knew that Tie Ruyun had a car, so he probably drove Li Yueqin and the three of them to the road back to the law firm.

Someone is too lazy to complain about the traffic in Dongfangdu.

...

Thursday is very busy.

Zhang Wei could feel that with the case, the atmosphere of the criminal team had changed.

Li Yueqin has been writing documents with her head down, and occasionally has a problem to be recorded, and then when the problem has accumulated a certain amount, she will immediately ask Tie Ruyun.

After getting a reply, she will continue to work and keep busy.

Zhang Wei saw that her expression was very serious.

Jin Mingming was the same, but he didn't have Li Yueqin's integrity, he raised a question suddenly, nodded and sat down after getting an answer, and asked another question after a while.

This kind of efficiency is very low, because Jin Mingming hardly memorizes the answers.

Compared with Li Yueqin, he simply asked questions for work, while Li Yueqin only asked questions for learning and self-improvement.

As for Lin Yumeng, she kept staring at the computer screen and said nothing from beginning to end.

Occasionally, Zhang Wei leaned over and only heard the cute girl whispering.

"What to do, what to do, it's my first time participating in a case, I'm so scared..."

Zhang Wei was as expected, because many newcomers who handled cases for the first time also behaved like this.

During lunch, Zhang Wei also found that Li Yueqin was absent-minded, and Lin Yumeng was a little lost, but this did not affect his own appetite.

The busy Thursday passed quickly, during which Lao Tie also asked about the progress of the case many times, and Li Yueqin's three answers made him feel quite stressed.

As for Zhang Wei, he was full of confidence, and even typed a few pages of the draft of the court braid.

Another day passed and Friday arrived.

8:00 in the morning.

municipal court.

Corridor on the second floor, outside Small Court B.

Zhang Wei likes to arrive early, so he waited here early in the morning.

After a while, the client, Tian Lixiong, came to the city court under the escort of two Wuxiong field staff.

The two hurried into the preparation room.

"Do you still remember what you told me that day?"

"Of course, I remember it all!"

"That's fine. During the trial, you just tell the truth and tell the jury what you saw and heard. There is no major problem in this case. The only witnesses for the other party are the young lady and the cadre of the martial arts association. , as long as you are pessimistic, everything will be fine!"

"pessimistic?"

Tian Lixiong looked at Zhang Wei, a little puzzled.

Don't ordinary lawyers tell themselves that they have to be more serious in court, why is it not right for you?

"Yes, you heard me right, all I want is for you to be pessimistic, and I will leave everything to me!"

Zhang Wei patted Tian Lixiong on the shoulder, signaling him to be at ease.

You know if you behave well, everything in court will be fine!

In this trial, the witnesses are not important, the testimony is not important, the most important thing is the final closing statement!

And when he was talking about the closing statement, the only person the jury looked at was probably you Tian Lixiong. You must behave in accordance with my closing statement in order to gain the support and sympathy of the jury...

When Zhang Wei and Tian Lixiong walked out of the preparation room, they saw Tie Ruyun bringing Li Yueqin and the others.

"Zhang Wei, look at your performance!"

"Come on, don't fail the first trial!"

"Come on, come on~"

Tie Ruyun, Li Yueqin, and Lin Yumeng all cheered for Zhang Wei, but Jin Mingming remained silent and looked at Zhang Wei with suspicion.

Zhang Wei ignored him directly, and after nodding with the three of them, he led Tian Lixiong into the 2B small court.

The criminal team also entered, but the courtroom was still empty.

Because this time it is a small court, it is a summary procedure, and it is still a prostitution case, so there are really very few people paying attention.

In the entire court, there were very few people in the hearing booth, and there were less than 10 people in the criminal team.

The prosecution yawned early in the morning and sat in the seat waiting for Zhang Wei and Tian Lixiong to arrive.

The public prosecutor this time is a man with glasses and looks gentle.

"Hello, I'm Chai Ping from the District Prosecutor's Office in Zhongcheng District. You are the public defense lawyer in charge of this case. Nice to meet you?"

When the public prosecutor saw Zhang Wei, he took the initiative to say hello.

However, after he finished greeting, he leaned in front of Zhang Wei: "Such a case, is it still necessary to start the summary procedure? It's just an attempted solicitation, and you can be detained for up to 15 days!"

"I am a lawyer from the commune, and everything is in the interests of the client. Since he has made a request, I can only do my best for him!"

Zhang Wei ignored the other party's question and responded formulaically.

"Hmph, waste of time, seeing that you are also a rookie, you just wait to lose!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei dared to ignore him, Chai Ping sneered: "In this case, I will add his nakedness to the court trial, and let him stay in the detention center for a few more days, as a warning to others!"

Zhang Wei smiled, ignored the other party's provocation, and calmly walked to the defense bench with Tian Lixiong.

on the hearing bench.

Seeing Zhang Wei's performance, Tie Ruyun nodded unconsciously.

He explained to the three people around him: "Just now it was a brief meeting between the two parties before the trial. Usually at this time, the public prosecutor will propose a deal and conditions with us. If we agree, we can submit a motion to the judge during the pre-trial!"

"That Zhang Wei just now..."

"They obviously didn't reach a deal. After all, the case itself has too little influence, and with the testimony of two witnesses, the lady and the operator, the prosecution thinks that even the deal can be omitted."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

The three of them, Li Yueqin, nodded subconsciously, but they were not optimistic about whether Zhang Wei would win the case.

"stand up!"

At this moment, the court guard announced that the judge entered.

The judges who came this time were nothing special. They looked about fifty years old and wore black robes. They were not the ones Zhang Wei was familiar with.

As soon as the judge sat down, he announced directly:

"Let the jury in, today is the summary procedure, so there is no need to screen the jury!"

After the six jurors entered and sat down, the judge announced in court:

"Today's trial is to save judicial resources, so this trial uses six random jurors, who cannot be replaced during the trial. There is no evidence discovery in this trial, only the witnesses of the prosecution and the defense speak, and the jury will use these speeches Make a judicial decision..."

With the judge's announcement, the trial officially began.
