...

After one hour.

The scene of the trial.

Zhang Wei was very pleased to see the defendant talking about his life experience in court.

"Xiao Zhang, did you teach him this?"

In the jury seat, Zhao Qingyan asked with his ear.

"Uncle Zhao, don't talk nonsense, how can I do such a thing?"

Zhang Wei smiled, and quickly denied in a low voice: "It's just a coincidence that I met senior sister Zhang Hui and talked to her a little bit, and then she met the defendant in the elevator by coincidence, and she wanted to speak to herself by a very coincidence Just talking to myself, how can I say that I taught the defendant, neither I nor the other party have contact in any occasion outside the court!"

When Zhao Qingyan heard this explanation, he smiled slightly in his heart, but he still tried to maintain a serious expression on his face.

This little Zhang is really eclectic in doing things, but he can't find any flaws.

It's really full of details, and it doesn't leak!

Not only the questions during the trial, but also the suggestions for the defendant's closing statement, all impressed Zhao Qingyan.

Now, his eyes turned to the court, the defendant who was making the closing statement.

"Actually, I went to the funeral that day and I happened to be wearing a black suit. When I went back, I met a friend who asked me to drive her to a court hearing. I agreed without thinking too much."

"I still remember every detail of that trial. My friend was charged civilly. She had no money to hire a lawyer. The prosecution lawyer's questions were aggressive. My friend was almost speechless during the other party's questioning. In the end, I had to Don't stand up."

"The trial is over, and the final result is that my friend won the lawsuit. I can't believe that I actually won and defeated my opponent in the trial. My friend expressed her gratitude to me. When I saw her smile from the heart, I felt like Knowing that everything you do is worth it.”

"It's strange to say that there happened to be one person on the hearing bench in that trial who was also charged. It was a traffic accident. He found me after the trial and asked me to defend him."

"Afterwards, more and more people came to me for help...Although I told myself at the beginning that a fake is a fake after all, and there will be a day when it will be exposed, but when I saw those helpless eyes At that time, another different voice appeared in my heart. Once, even if I help them again..."

"In this way, I helped more and more people, and more and more people came to visit me. In the end, I can't remember how many people I helped. But I swear, I provide legal advice to everyone, It's not about making their money, otherwise I wouldn't be charging $25 an hour, I'm helping them because they need help and I'm the only one who can help them."

...

After 30 minutes, the closing arguments came to an end.

At the judge's signal, a group of jurors entered the conference room and began to discuss the outcome of the trial.

In the conference room, the jurors gathered together.

"Mr. Zhao, you are a professional, what do you think?"

"Don't keep your mouth shut, you guys, you all give your opinions, don't you?"

"Let's make an opinion together, but who wants to start?"

"Or let Mr. Zhao come, after all, he is a big shot, and we are all ordinary people, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, you can work in Blacksmith Technology, which is a big company. I believe your vision and knowledge are much higher than ours. I think it's up to you to make up your mind this time?"

Zhang Wei could see that several jurors had no opinion and wanted to let Zhao Qingyan make a decision.

Although as the chief juror, Zhao Qingyan has the right to announce the result, but the result of the discussion is a common matter for all jurors.

As for Zhao Qingyan, it is naturally impossible to talk about it.

He looked at Zhang Wei beside him: "Xiao Zhang, you are studying the Fa, why don't you give uncle some advice?"

"Ah, this..."

Zhang Wei didn't want to speak at first, after all, it might affect the verdict.

But after feeling the eyes of other jurors, he decided to offer some suggestions.

"Everyone, before making a decision, let me briefly explain."

"First of all, it is naturally the defendant. Is what he did good or bad?"

When Zhang Wei said this, he paused for a moment. After seeing everyone looking at him, he said: "Obviously, what he did is a good thing, but the method is not allowed by the law. The law does not allow evil, but it can tolerate kindness." , everyone understands such a truth, right?"

The jurors nodded subconsciously.

Although many people didn't know what Zhang Wei's words meant, they just nodded along.

Zhang Wei also noticed that this group of people didn't have much opinion at all, and many of them even wanted to close the case quickly and go home for dinner early.

He smiled inwardly, and suddenly changed his tone: "However, this cannot cover up the fact that he violated the rules. If he is acquitted, wouldn't it be condoning this behavior?"

"Yes, yes, this young man is right." Someone immediately agreed.

"However, as I said just now, if you have to be punished for doing good deeds, then who will do good deeds in the future, so if we convict him, won't it prevent others from being motivated to do good deeds?"

"Uh..." The person who agreed just now stopped talking.

He looked at Zhang Wei with a dazed expression.

Why doesn't this kid play cards according to the routine? This change of position is too fast, and I can't keep up.

Zhang Wei continued: "Finally, what I want to explain is the significance of this trial. What do you think is the significance of this trial?"

Seeing Zhang Wei throwing out the question, everyone except Zhao Qingyan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei didn't expect this group of people to really answer.

One of the jurors saw that the atmosphere was somewhat cold, and quickly said, "Isn't the purpose of this trial because of that fake lawyer?"

"That's just superficial!" Zhang Wei shook his head: "The purpose of this trial is because the Eastern Metropolis Prosecutor's Office lost to the defendant in a lawsuit, so they investigated the background of the defendant, just like I asked during the trial. Yes, this trial is the opponent's counterattack against the defendant, and we are all tools used by the District Prosecutor's Office to retaliate!"

"If we convict the defendant, wouldn't we avenge the District Prosecutor's Office? Are you willing to be used as a weapon and pawns in other people's hands?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the jurors showed thoughtful expressions.

Zhang Wei's words are very direct, but for a group of strangers, being direct is more effective.

Are you willing to be used as a gun?

The answer is that no one wants to be someone else's pawn and be manipulated by them, and no one likes to be manipulated.

"Then... in this trial, are we going to acquit him?" A juror looked around and asked.

"No, if he is acquitted, it would be a shame for the seriousness of the law." Zhang Wei shook his head.

"This..." The jurors were puzzled again.

You said that, but you still don't intend to let the other party go?

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "It's very simple. We judged his behavior as non-compliant, but we didn't convict him. At the same time, we just need to make him pay a little price. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"Listen to me carefully, we only need to..."

After 1 hour, the discussion was over.

The scene of the trial.

As the chief juror, Zhao Qingyan stood up under the gaze of the crowd, and read out in public:

"In response to the prosecution's series of actions against the defendant, our jurors unanimously decided not to admit that the defendant was guilty of fraud, but only admitted that the defendant had minor irregularities in providing legal advice to help clients, so we should not convict. We recommend that The court sentenced the defendant to 500 hours of community labor, and at the same time, after completing his law degree, he needs to enter the legal aid clinic recommended by the court to complete 1,500 hours of voluntary assistance!"

As soon as the verdict came out, several families were happy and others were sad.

The prosecutor opened his mouth and wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't.

The defendant and the defense lawyer cheered directly, their faces full of excitement.

Because as long as there is no conviction, the defendant can continue to be a lawyer.

As for 500 hours of community labor and 1,500 hours of legal obligation assistance, it only takes time to complete.

In the jury seat, Zhao Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief after the announcement was over.

Because the burden on the body is finally gone.

"Xiao Zhang, you let me see one thing. There is no way for a lover to be merciless. I saw a real shining point in you!"

"Uncle Zhao, look at what you said. People who study the Fa don't talk about being unfeeling. I just don't like being used as a gun."

Zhang Wei smiled and quickly vetoed it.

But in fact, in his heart, he also had a little doubt about his behavior.

Back then, Zhang Qiansheng even used all means to win, so how could he waste time and energy on such a small case.

If I were my former self, wouldn't I just ignore the defendant's life and leave him to fend for himself?

the other side.

After the defendant and the lawyer finished celebrating, they hurried to Zhang Wei's place.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Without you, I might be going to jail today, thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do!" Zhang Wei's answer was somewhat perfunctory.

"Keep going, we're leaving!" He hurriedly bid farewell to the defendant, not wanting to get too entangled.

"thank you……"

Regardless of the defendant's thanks, Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingyan left the trial scene.

"Xiao Zhang, my uncle is very happy today, why don't we have a meal together?"

"Uncle Zhao's treat?"

"Of course, I'm an elder."

"That's a good feeling!"

Zhao Qingyan took Zhang Wei happily to dinner.

...

three days later.

Dongfangdu, City Court.

Zhang Hui was sitting blankly on the steps in front of the court, his face was melancholy and he was slightly absent-minded.

Because just now, one of the parties she represented was arrested across the city by members of the Dongfang Capital Martial Arts Association.

The reason for being taken away was that the person who was beaten died suddenly in a brawl and attack a few days ago, so the person who pleaded guilty became a murder suspect and was charged with negligent death by the Eastern Metropolitan Police Headquarters.

When she thought that she was the one who asked the other party to plead guilty at that time, and now she will be in prison for 3-7 years, she felt extremely bad.

Thinking that it was not the District Prosecutor's Office that was prosecuting, but the prestigious District Prosecutor's Headquarters in the Eastern Capital, Zhang Hui didn't even have the idea to argue.

The District Prosecutor's Headquarters of the Eastern Metropolis is not the sub-bureaus under its jurisdiction, but the top combat power in the entire Southern Judiciary.

Even the top lawyers of the top ten law firms may retreat when they know that their opponent is the local prosecutor's headquarters.

And she, Zhang Hui, is just a new lawyer, an assistant lawyer who has just obtained her practicing qualification certificate, how could she possibly resist such a powerful force.

"If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have let him confess in the first place!"

Zhang Hui really has nothing to do now, unless a savior comes from heaven, but even in his own law firm, it is impossible for anyone to help her.

The lawyers of Yongjie Firm rarely take criminal defense cases, and even if they do, most of them settle out of court. They are afraid of confronting the local prosecutor's headquarters in court.

But when Zhang Hui lost her mind, she didn't notice the gate of the city court, and an acquaintance walked down.

"Lawyer Zhang, I didn't expect you to help me get a verdict of not guilty. I'm so happy. By the way, please forgive me for what I said at the beginning. Although you haven't obtained a certificate, your strength is really top-notch. Who will be judged in the future? If you say you are not strong enough, I will be the first to refuse!"

"To say that I am not strong enough, I remember you were the only one who said that."

"Hey, those are all angry words. Who made you so young, and you don't even have a qualification certificate. If my case was not a pro bono case and I couldn't choose a lawyer myself, I would really have to change lawyers at that time. But ah , I didn’t change lawyers at the time, it was definitely the wisest decision I’ve made in the past few years, otherwise I wouldn’t have seen your methods!”

"Don't flatter me, and be a good person in the future. Although you didn't steal anything, you have to think about why the Wushu Association locked you as a suspect in the first place. If you have a clean ass, the Wushu Association will catch you so soon. ?”

"Yes, yes, what Lawyer Zhang taught is that I must be a good person in the future, so I will go first."

"Let's go, I just go back and have a look, maybe I can pick up another case to kill some time."

"That's, that's, you're busy, you're busy..."

A man with treacherous eyebrows and mouse eyes ran past quickly, and Zhang Hui raised his head strangely.

She always felt that the voice of lawyer Zhang just now seemed familiar.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Zhang Hui? Why are you sitting at the gate of the city court? It's already December and the weather is so cold. Can your ass take it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hui finally realized who this "Lawyer Zhang" was.

She got up quickly and walked towards the people behind.

"Zhang Wei, why are you here?"

"I have no place to go other than here." Zhang Wei spread his hands with helplessness on his face.

"Our law students cannot hold any judicial profession before they get their qualification certificates, such as judges, prosecutors, lawyers, notaries, arbitrators (legal), and even legal consultants. The only ones I can choose are public defenders, so I come to the city court to take public interest cases, and these cases are rarely done anyway, so I will do voluntary labor."

"Public defender, you have accepted the public interest case!" Zhang Hui nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Then your case..."

"Of course I won the case. I took this case in the past few days, but I won the acquittal for the client. But to be honest, the level of the public prosecutor in the District Prosecutor's Office is just the same. It's too unchallenging for me, just like the seniors in the moot court..."

Zhang Wei said with a disdainful expression on his face, but soon realized that there was something wrong with his words, and the person who was used as a negative teaching material was right in front of him.

"Ahem, senior sister, don't take it to heart, I just made a random comparison..."

"Zhang Wei!" But suddenly, Zhang Hui's expression was extremely solemn, which made Zhang Wei feel a little nervous.

"Let me treat you to a meal!"

"ah???"

A few minutes later, there is a fast food restaurant nearby.

Zhang Wei picked up a hamburger in front of him and bit off a third of it in one bite.

"I almost forgot how long I haven't eaten this thing. I really miss the days when I was a young lawyer. Every day was busy and fulfilling. A big burger at noon is enough!" He sighed while eating.

"Didn't you get the certificate yet?" Zhang Hui who was sitting opposite had a strange expression on his face.

"Oh, I used to be a lawyer in my dream." Zhang Wei hurriedly said something perfunctory, but then glanced at the hamburger in front of Zhang Hui.

"Senior sister, why don't you eat, and seeing how preoccupied you are, don't you really want to treat me to dinner?"

The corners of Zhang Hui's mouth twitched, but he couldn't laugh when he wanted to.

"What my junior said is that I have no appetite." She said, pushing the hamburger in front of Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was not too polite, he just picked up the hamburger and brought it to his mouth.

"Tell me, senior, what can I do for you?"

"I, I want you to help me with a case..."

Thinking of what Zhang Wei was going to do, Zhang Hui felt a little hard to say.

"What kind of case did you ask me to ask? The opponent is not easy, or the case is a bit tricky?"

"The case this time is not complicated, but it is not simple. The biggest problem is not the case itself, but the person who takes over..."

"who?"

"It's the Prosecutor's Headquarters in the Eastern Metropolis. Although the prosecutor looks like a newcomer, he's also a newcomer at the headquarters."

Zhang Hui raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wei. Seeing that the latter's expression had not changed, he continued: "The opponent is the local prosecutor's headquarters. The strength is too strong. I am really not sure, so I would like to ask you to give me advice. If you can If so, you can also give me some advice, I wonder if my junior can help me with this?"

"Oh, that's right~"

Zhang Wei nodded, and then asked: "Then your client pleaded guilty?"

"He pleaded guilty, but it's not what you think, and his plea also has some influence on me. In fact, he didn't do that."

"So, there is something hidden in this case?" Zhang Wei's face was a little dignified.

Zhang Hui thought that Zhang Wei was hesitating, and quickly said: "I can understand if my junior doesn't want to help, but I want you to help me as a consultant. If I want to do something for the client, what should I do?"

"Sister, I didn't say I wouldn't help!"

But Zhang Wei suddenly said: "But according to what you mean, in this case, your defendant doesn't seem to be at fault, isn't that so?"

"I don't know for sure, but I don't think he did that."

"That's fine, I can help with this job, but I have a little request!"

"Student please tell me!" Hearing Zhang Wei's promise, Zhang Hui's expression brightened.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly, then straightened his face: "I want to be the chief lawyer in this case!"

"ah???"

This time, it was Zhang Hui's turn to be confused.
