Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Wednesday, pre-trial day.

Dongfangdu, City Court.

Zhang Wei's party came to wait in the court very early, and didn't even go to the preparation room.

The pre-trial time is 8:30 in the morning.

At exactly 8 o'clock, Zhang Wei, Lin Yumeng, and He Qingnian were all sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

They were discussing in low voices, exchanging information about what might happen next.

Soon, the defendant also arrived.

Representatives of Harper Cigar Company headed by Mo Mingchuan, including the company's president and legal representatives, as well as several lawyers from Mingchuan Law Firm.

"This battle looks like it's coming to fight!"

Look at yourself, there are only Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin on the hearing stand to support the scene.

There were more than a dozen lawyers sitting in the other side's row of hearing, as well as employees of Harper Cigars. The difference in the number of people had already put pressure on Zhang Wei's side.

Mo Mingchuan even watched Zhang Wei's side with his eyes, continuing to create pressure.

As the pre-trial time approached, many people came to the court, and many media even heard the news and came to observe.

As for the reason that attracts them, it is naturally the reputation of both the prosecution and the defense.

One is the well-known Jincheng Law Firm, and the other is Mo Mingchuan, a famous professor at Jinnan University. Both parties are well-known in the legal circles of the Eastern Capital.

The only problem may be the prosecution lawyer.

A character like Lin Yumeng was unheard of by media people at this stage.

But they also caught another name... Zhang Wei!

If Lin Yumeng is a completely unknown rookie and Mo Mingchuan is a well-known professor, then Zhang Wei is a gnashing enemy to these media people.

Because the other party slapped the media in the face more than once, and even yelled at the media at the scene of the closing testimony of the Wang Yuqing case.

All in all, the faces of the media were all hurt by Zhang Wei.

This is why the media are desperately trying to weaken the weight of the Wang Yuqing case in search engines.

After all, no one wants to spread the scandal of being slapped in the face.

Now the media are all on the sidelines, waiting for the pretrial trial to start, and they are all looking forward to the scene of Zhang Wei being defeated.

This time, Zhang Wei's opponent is Professor Mo Mingchuan, a well-known lawyer with rich theoretical and practical experience. Behind him is a big company, and the advantage is on his side no matter how you look at it!

As long as Zhang Wei loses, the media can get revenge!

Everyone is looking forward to...

Soon, it will be trial time.

"Stand up, please respect Judge Ruan to enter!"

The judge in a pitch-black robe walked quickly to the trial seat.

Because it was a civil lawsuit, another judge Zhang Wei didn't know came. He looked in his forties and had no distinctive appearance.

"Everyone, take your seats. In this case, the plaintiff, He Qingnian, is targeting the defendant, Harper Cigar..."

After explaining the case information, the judge nodded towards the dock.

"Professor Mo, you are a senior in the judiciary, please start!"

"Thank you judge!"

Mo Mingchuan nodded his thanks to the judge, then walked to the candidate jury and began to ask questions.

Zhang Wei sat where he was, observing all the changes in the courtroom.

"It's okay, no variables have been found for the time being, and everything is within the controllable range."

But soon, he noticed the strangeness of the people around him.

Lin Yumeng was a little nervous, and her little hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Master, I feel a little scared..."

The little apprentice said in a weak voice.

"It can't be helped. Who made Lao Tie not do his best? The matter of applying for an investigator was called back again. We are very passive when he does this!"

Zhang Wei was also helpless.

After returning to the law firm yesterday, Tie Ruyun once again asked the department for resources, but was rejected again.

Therefore, in this lawsuit, Jincheng Law Firm will not provide any support for Zhang Wei's side except for the cost of the court session.

As Mo Mingchuan said, Lin Xiangtian was a businessman, and he couldn't waste a penny on a case he knew he would lose.

But Zhang Wei is still calm, even if the law firm does not support him, he has a solution.

In court, Mo Mingchuan had already asked a few questions and screened two or three jurors.

"The questions asked by this old boy are all conservative, and the selected jurors are all harmless people!"

This is the disadvantage of academic, or theoretical lawyers. They will choose conservative and error-free means to obtain as much benefit as possible.

And Zhang Wei, a super practical fighter, often asks sharp questions. Although it will bring negative effects, the benefits are also huge.

Conservative and radical, this is the difference between the two.

"Professor Mo?"

Seeing that the court was a little cold, the judge hurriedly asked a question.

It can be seen that he still respects Mo Mingchuan, a famous professor.

"Sorry, Your Honor, let me ask a few more questions here!"

Mo Mingchuan walked to the jury seat again and looked at everyone.

"Everyone here, does anyone in your family smoke tobacco or cigars?"

Among the jury, many people nodded.

Although cigars are a luxury item, smoking is still affordable for many people.

Mo Mingchuan looked at one of the ladies and asked, "Ma'am, does anyone in your house smoke?"

"Many of my elders smoke, and some have smoked cigars." The woman nodded.

"Is there anyone suffering from diseases related to smoking and second-hand smoke?"

"Well, I have to think about it...my father has emphysema, and my sister's child is born with deformities because her brother-in-law smokes all the time...my two uncles are also heavy smokers, and they have heart disease , one of my aunts had her legs amputated because she suffered from varicose blood vessels, and the doctor said that these seemed to be caused by smoking..."

"this……"

This time, it was Mo Mingchuan's turn to be speechless.

Can he swear?

Can time be turned back?

He felt he was asking the wrong person.

Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back.

"Madam, given the circumstances of your family, do you think you can be fair? Because this case is not about smoking, but one of the parties involved is a trading company that manufactures similar tobacco products."

"Yeah, I don't think I have a problem, I think I can!"

Mo Mingchuan admired women's honesty.

Almost with tears in his eyes, he expressed his request to let the other party leave the table.

"Very well, so we have a jury. We will start the court on Friday at 1:30 pm, and the court is now dismissed!"

As the judge announced, everyone got up and left

Just when everyone walked out of the court, Mo Mingchuan came to Zhang Wei and his party.

"Xiao Lin, I look forward to your performance on Friday!"

"Professor Mo, we are also looking forward to your performance on Friday. I hope you, a senior, can teach us a good lesson!"

Zhang Wei stopped between the two of them, not afraid of Mo Mingchuan's power at all, and responded with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Wei, Mo Mingchuan's eyes turned cold when he thought of the other party's unscrupulous behavior.

He didn't say anything more, but returned to his own team and left quickly.

"Let's go back too!"

Zhang Wei took everyone back to the law firm and began to think about the next step.

Office of the Criminal Division.

"Lawyer Zhang, it's only Wednesday, if it's Friday, do you need me to testify in court?"

"Grandpa He, since we are the party to present evidence, we naturally need witness testimony. You are the husband of the victim, and no one is suitable for this matter except you!"

"Oh, I see, I will do my best, then tomorrow..."

"Criminal team, you guys are so brave!"

He Qingnian nodded, and was about to speak again, but was interrupted by a loud shout from outside the door.

Wang Jianren, the director of the civil affairs team, walked into the office of the criminal team angrily.

"Director Wang!" Tie Ruyun hurriedly greeted the person coming.

Li Qingshou, Wang Jianren, the two supervisors under Shen Zhengyi, the boss of the litigation department, the former is in charge of the commercial team, and the latter is in charge of the civil affairs team.

The ongoing case of Zhang Wei and others is the case rejected by the original civil affairs team.

At this moment, Wang Jianren came here in a rage, obviously not here to greet the criminal team.

"Grandpa He, you should go back first. We will contact you tomorrow if we want to simulate a trial trial!"

Seeing Wang Jianren's expression, Zhang Wei asked He Qingnian to go home first.

The latter nodded, then glanced at Zhang Wei and Lin Yumeng, and left the office.

When the client left, Wang Jianren finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Tie Ruyun, and the rest of you, you are really brave enough to take over the case we dismissed!"

"Know why we're dismissing these cases because it's pointless and doomed to rot!"

"It's good for you. Not only have you accepted the case, but you have also held a pre-trial trial. I didn't know what happened until I read the media reports today. Your criminal team will really cause trouble!"

After venting, Wang Jianren pointed to Tie Ruyun and said, "Tie Ruyun, you have been a lawyer for five years anyway, why don't you even understand these basic rules? How much time and energy will you waste for this case? After losing the lawsuit, it brought us Jincheng negative reports, don’t you have no brains in doing things?”

"Ahem, Director Wang, I think you are being serious!"

Seeing Wang Jianren pointing at the leader and scolding, Zhang Wei couldn't help it.

"Why do you interrupt as a newcomer? I'm the lawyer in charge. You..."

"Director Wang, you and I are both human beings. There is no concept of who is superior and who is inferior. You can talk, but I can't. In your eyes, people are still divided into different classes, so we have to give way. you?"

Zhang Wei will not give face to the leader, especially a leader who makes trouble for no reason.

"Besides, Director Wang, we have already taken over the case. According to the rules of Jincheng Law Firm, this case has already been entered into the law firm's system. What we need to do next is to go all out for this case. You suddenly ran to our criminal law firm. What do you mean by yelling at the office, are you trying to make us lose the case on purpose?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Jianren's words were abruptly suppressed as soon as they came to his lips.

Good guy, this kid actually dared to label him.

Deliberately obstructing the progress of the case is a workplace obstruction, which is expressly prohibited within Jincheng Law Firm.

"Director Wang, your words and deeds just now are in line with the workplace obstruction that our law firm expressly prohibits. Please be careful with your words and deeds, lest we complain to Boss Shen!"

As Zhang Wei said, he came over and patted Wang Jianren on the shoulder, "Now, our criminal team is going to prepare this case. You are neither a participant in this case nor a member of our criminal team, so you are completely ineligible to stay." Here, I want to invite you out, isn't it too much?"

"you……"

"What are you, don't you, Director Wang, still want to keep yelling? Then I don't mind going to the 30th floor to find Boss Shen and report the matter truthfully. I believe that even if you, Wang Jianren, are not fired, you will still have to pay a price. ?”

"Good boy, count yourself as ruthless!"

Wang Jianren's eyes turned hard, but after several times of attacking, he finally held back.

As Zhang Wei said, once the rules are exceeded, and this matter reaches the 30th floor, he will be unable to bear it and walk around.

Wang Jianren's face was indignant, but he could only return with hatred.

"Zhang Wei, you have offended the leader..."

Only after Wang Jianren left did Tie Ruyun dare to say anything.

"If you offend, you will be offended. Anyway, I have observed it. That pair of beasts and bitches is not a good bird in the first place."

Regarding Tie Ruyun's worries, Zhang Wei didn't care at all, and even smiled and said: "We won the sincerity insurance before, and we have already offended Li Qingshou, if we win the Harper cigar case again, Wang Jianren will also be offended. "

"The main reason is that the case was dismissed by them, but it was picked up by us again. If we win again, wouldn't it be a proper slap in the face for them? Li and Wang are narrow-minded, how can they swallow this breath?" ?”

The reason is also very simple, why the civil affairs team dismissed the case, because the case cannot be won, or in their eyes, the case is considered impossible to win.

At this time, if the criminal team takes over the case and wins, what do you ask the other teams and departments of the law firm to think?

Isn't it a big joke that the civil affairs team is actually inferior to the criminal team in civil cases?

"It's so bullying!" Lin Yumeng couldn't sit still, her fists were clenched tightly, her cheeks were puffed up like a little puffer fish.

"The civil affairs team is really too much. They probably don't like us, so they asked the leaders to come over and put pressure on us!" Li Yueqin was also a little indignant.

She joined the law firm to fight lawsuits and accumulate experience in court trials, but as a result, she was angry with the leaders inside the law firm, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

"Calm down, isn't it just some workplace rules, we don't need to accommodate others!"

It didn't matter to Zhang Wei, anyway, he also hated Wang Jianren just now.

Don't say it, it's pretty cool!

"Okay, I said the harsh words just now, and I will arrange the task next!"

Seeing that his little friend was a little depressed, Zhang Wei quickly began to give orders.

"Xiaomeng, you are going to make a statement in court, if you don't know anything, you can ask me!"

"Xiao Li, you probably don't have a case at hand, I want you to contact Fan Xueqin's former doctor and get the doctor's medical certificate and testimony!"

"Old man, go upstairs and ask Boss Shen if you can apply for financial support. If the law firm can provide some support, we can ask expert witnesses to collect and provide scientific evidence that cigars caused Fan Xueqin's addiction!"

As Zhang Wei issued orders one by one, everyone got busy.

"Master, why are you alright?" But suddenly, Lin Yumeng found that Zhang Wei himself had no mission.

"Who said I don't have a task, my next task is to study your former teacher, I will look at his court records of every lawsuit before, study every sentence he said, read every evidence, even punctuation marks I won't let it go!"

"But that's a lot of documents. You have to read so many things by yourself, isn't it too late?"

"Xiaomeng, do you know that the potential of the human body is infinite?"

Zhang Wei explained with a smile, and urged the young apprentice to start drafting the opening statement.

at the same time.

On the 30th floor, in Shin Zhengyi's office.

When Tie Ruyun knocked on the door and got permission, he opened the office door.

As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw Li Qingshou with a sneer on his face, Wang Jianren who was furious, and Shen Zhengyi who was sitting in his seat with a dark expression.

"Director Li, Director Wang didn't expect you to be here!"

"Boss Shen, hello!" Tie Ruyun greeted the two, and then said hello to Shen Zhengyi.

"Tie Ruyun, they happened to be chatting about you just now. The recent case that your criminal team has taken over is quite interesting!"

As soon as Shen Zhengyi opened his mouth, Tie Ruyun's heart "thumped".

Because anyone who is familiar with this leader knows that the other party usually does not get angry easily, but often such a joke proves that he is already on the verge of anger.

The joke is to tell you to give an explanation quickly, otherwise he will be really angry.

Sweat dripped from Tie Ruyun's forehead, but he still insisted on making a request: "Leader, I came here to ask, can the law firm provide support for our latest case..."

"You mean, you're going to continue to lead the newcomers in the group out of business?"

Seeing that Tie Ruyun did not repent at all, but instead made an "unreasonable" request to apply for support from a law firm, Shen Zhengyi's eyes became more and more unkind.

Li Qingshou and Wang Jianren looked at each other, and there was a hint of gloating in their eyes.

Fortunately, we took the first step and blew the wind in the leader's ear.

Now you still want to apply for support, dream on you!

In the end, Tie Ruyun didn't know how he got back to the office.

All he knew was that Shin Zhengyi's roar was still echoing in his ears.

Hearing the bad news brought back by Lao Tie, although Zhang Wei knew that there would be such a result, he was still very upset.

"Damn it, isn't this clearly a bully!"

"People don't dare to fight this case, we came to fight, but the law firm didn't give any support, I'm so angry!"

But before he could speak, Lin Yumeng was the first to stand up and curse.

The little girl's waist was thrust up, her cheeks were bulging, and her little face was as red as a small apple.

"No, I must beat them up, that pair of sluts and beasts, I must teach them to eat!"

Hearing the young apprentice's angry speech, Zhang Wei looked very satisfied.

Anger is motivation!

"Xiaomeng, are you angry now?"

"Of course, Master, we are so passive now. The only witness is Grandpa He, not even an expert witness. How could the jury trust us!"

"I can't say that. In fact, I still have a secret strategy, but I need you to perform at a super level to have a chance. I didn't plan to use it at first, but seeing you so angry, I feel that this strategy is very feasible!"

"What plan?"

Not only Lin Yumeng, but also Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin were attracted by Zhang Wei's words.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and raised a finger.

"You know, the first item in the court is the statement of the case, right?"

"But do you know that an excellent case statement can completely change the opinion of the jury and create excellent favorable conditions for us!"

"For this, we need to make a lot of preparations, and also need to simulate many times, come, let me help you polish the manuscript..."
