...

Monday.

It is also the day of mooting.

Dongda Law School, in the male dormitory, there are two people who are preparing to appear in court.

"Wow, Zhang Wei, help me tie my tie, it's stuck... ahem, stuck, stuck!"

"Calm down, you're just too nervous."

"How calm, this is the first time in my life to go to court!"

Fatty Luo Xiaobu was screaming anxiously at this moment, he couldn't even tie a tie anymore.

On the contrary, Zhang Wei looked indifferent, as if he was going to the cafeteria instead of the courtroom next.

"Speaking of which, it's your first time in court, why aren't you nervous at all?"

Luo Xiaobu looked at someone who was calm, as if he had discovered a blind spot.

"Going to court? It's not a big deal."

But Zhang Wei shook his head, pulled on Luo Xiaobu's tie for the last time, and then nodded in satisfaction.

He patted the latter on the shoulder: "Okay, get ready to go to court!"

At the same time, he didn't forget to add in his heart: "This time it's just a moot court, and the opponents are just a group of students who haven't graduated from law school. What's there to be nervous about? If it wasn't for me to go to court, I would have to doze off." That's right."

The door of the dormitory.

Xia Qianyue has long been waiting here.

She saw Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei from a distance, and hurriedly waved hello.

"Oh hey, you little fat man is also dressed, don't be weak when you go to court later!"

Xia Qianyue and Luo Xiaobu also knew each other, but they didn't talk much on weekdays.

This time Xia Qianyue took the initiative to say hello because Luo Xiaobu joined Zhang Wei's defense team.

Since it's my own person, it's natural to get acquainted.

"Look...see the situation..."

Luo Xiaobu hadn't recovered from the fear of going to court, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to Xia Qianyue's greeting.

For law school students, going to court for the first time is indeed a big torment, especially when thinking about the possible questions raised by the other party, from what angle and in what way to argue. These are all difficult points.

Court braiding is an art that tests your skills and ability to perform on the spot. No matter how well prepared you are before the trial, once the other party asks a tricky question, you may be stumped immediately.

If you are questioned by your opponent, you may be ashamed in front of dozens or even hundreds of people. This is why many law students are afraid of going to court.

The three left the dormitory and were soon surrounded by students waiting outside.

The Department of Journalism is another popular department of Dongda University. Many students from the Department of Journalism have joined Dongfang Metro TV Station.

And now, these ungraduated future stars in the journalism world have surrounded the three of them.

"Student Zhang Wei, what do you have to say about this trial?"

"Student Zhang Wei, I didn't expect you to sue the department for the first time in court. Many male students leave messages on the forum and attack you personally. Do you have anything to say to them!"

"And this court trial, I wonder if you are sure?"

"As the plaintiff, are the witnesses and testimony you released adequately prepared? Do you know any other things about Xihua Jiamei? Why don't you explain to the big guy?"

"Also, student Zhang Wei, it is said that someone saw you and Xia Qianyue from the Criminal Investigation Department go shopping on Xiuye ​​Road. Are you a couple?"

These journalism students give full play to their paparazzi talents, and the problems are one after another.

"Hanhan!" Zhang Wei had no choice but to wink at a certain Dali girl beside him.

"Let's all give way, let's give way, we have to rush to the court trial!"

Xia Qianyue deserved to be a fool, leading the charge alone, followed by Zhang Wei and Luo Xiaobu.

Hanhan's strength is so powerful that even four or five students can't resist her strength, and she forcibly breaks the way of the crowd.

The three broke free from the shackles of the paparazzi and went straight to the auditorium.

Fortunately, along the way, except for the journalism department who wanted to grab first-hand reports, students from other departments were relatively restrained.

The auditorium has arrived.

Looking at the solemn and solemn auditorium of the department, the three of Zhang Wei stopped for a moment, and then walked in under the gaze of the surrounding students.

At this moment, there is still 1 hour before the trial.

auditorium.

Backstage preparation room.

There are plaintiffs and defendants in court debates, so there are two preparation rooms.

Zhang Wei's party is on one side of the auditorium, and Zhang Hui and Jia Meili's party is on the other side. There is also a preparation room reserved in the middle. Once the two parties plan to reconcile, or the jurors need to discuss the verdict, then this preparation room will be used. .

Zhang Wei is full of confidence here.

Jia Meili's side next door, they are also full of confidence.

At this moment, No. 2 preparation room.

Feng Li pushed open the door of the room and hurried in.

"Sister, this is the latest list of witnesses!"

The list of witnesses has been confirmed before the trial, and if it needs to be supplemented, a motion review will be held before the trial.

If neither party makes a motion, there will be no change to the witness list.

As the defense lawyer, Zhang Hui took the list, but put it down after a glance.

"It seems that this junior has only this ability, and I have counted every step!"

As he spoke, the corners of Zhang Hui's mouth rose, and his eyes were full of confidence.

She didn't look up, but the conversation suddenly changed: "Are you ready for the first witness?"

Yuan Dong on the side nodded subconsciously after hearing this, but realized that Zhang Hui didn't look at him, so he responded in a low voice: "Okay!"

Zhang Hui didn't respond, as if Yuan Dong was talking to himself just now and didn't talk to himself.

"Then, senior sister, I'll leave everything to you!" Jia Meili also nodded to Zhang Hui, looking expectant.

"Of course, a junior who doesn't even have a court record, how could I lose!"

At this moment, Zhang Hui looked like a female general who was about to win, her eyes were shining and her spirits were high.

...

After one hour.

The trial was ready, and all the students entered the auditorium.

Zhang Wei led Luo Xiaobu and Xia Qianyue, and Zhang Hui led Jia Meili, Yuan Dong, and Feng Li into the trial scene arranged in the middle of the auditorium from the left and right entrances.

On the top judging seat, Geng Hongxia, vice president of the law school, was already in place.

She was wearing a black judge's robe, with a serious face and full of aura.

As a professor of law and the vice dean of the law school, she will be the judge, so she is naturally handy.

The clerk of the court trial was a girl from the student union who was responsible for recording the details of the court trial.

The defendant and plaintiff seats on both sides are the positions of Zhang Wei, Zhang Hui and others.

"Brother Zhang Wei, you and I are considered members of the same family. I am one year older than you, so I can be regarded as your older sister. You should be merciful when you are the younger brother in the court trial!"

Zhang Hui came to Zhang Wei and greeted him before the trial.

Although the attitude in her words was quite modest, the two sides were going to fight with each other during the trial, and being so polite now is not really showing weakness.

"Sister was joking. During the trial, please let my brother!" Zhang Wei naturally followed the other party's words and responded with a smile.

But in his heart, he wanted to laugh at Zhang Hui's greeting.

Because he couldn't remember the last time someone greeted him before the trial started.

He went to court in his previous life, and his opponents hardly dared to talk to him like that.

Whether it is the ace prosecutor of the prosecution or a well-known barrister in the same city, seeing him standing on the opponent's seat, there is only deep fear in his eyes.

Even some timid lawyers and prosecutors trembled when they saw him.

So seeing Zhang Hui's attitude, Zhang Wei rarely showed nostalgia. He seemed to recall his first case, the scene when he went to court for the first time.

The two parties took their seats and entered the stage of preparation for the trial.

Zhang Wei communicated with Luo Xiaobu and Xia Qianyue for a while, and at the same time he handed Luo Xiaobu a note.

And Zhang Hui also bowed his head to communicate with Jia Meili and Yuan Dong, and they looked at Zhang Wei from time to time, full of hostility, even a little sinister.

Soon, the auditorium was filled with students who came to watch, and the venue of thousands of people began to make noise.

The presiding judge, Geng Hongxia, saw that it was almost time for people to come. She looked at Dean Yang Qingquan in front of the hearing stand, and after seeing the latter nodding, she also nodded in response.

Boom boom boom!

She picked up the gavel in her hand, and after hitting the awl, she ordered solemnly: "Silence!"

Suddenly, the audience fell silent within a few seconds.

All eyes were on the judging seat in the center of the auditorium.

Geng Hongxia took out the court rules she had prepared and read out the script: "Today is a mock trial in my law school. During the trial process, everyone needs to..."

There are a lot of things, and there are many rules, but they are also normal.

The court is a serious occasion, so you can't joke around, even if it's a moot court this time, you still need to show the necessary attitude.

After the announcement, the first step of the trial began, the selection of the jury.

As the pre-trial link and the initial link, the selection of jurors is very important.

And now, 23 grand jurors, as well as the necessary substitute juries, are ready.

Screening of the jury is done by lawyers for both the plaintiff and the defendant, and the screening method is to ask the juror questions to identify whether the juror can participate in the next trial.

It was at this time that a group of law school professors in the hearing booth also began to explain to professors from other departments around them.

"Let me tell you, this lawsuit was originally a civil lawsuit, but this time, in order to achieve a higher degree of participation, our court deliberately chose the full 12-member jury mode of the criminal lawsuit."

Dean Yang Qingquan said popular science to the deans of the Department of Journalism and Finance around him.

"12 jurors, isn't that even more uncertain?"

"That being said, we do this to test the students. The minimum number of civil lawsuits is 6 people, and evidence collection is relatively simple. It only needs to persuade 5 of them to complete the verdict, which is too low for the participation of our students. That’s why we purposely increased the number of people!”

With that said, Yang Qingquan looked at Zhang Hui who stood up.

"This is Zhang Hui, a student who graduated from our school last year. Now he has practiced at Yongjie Law Firm, one of the top ten law firms. As an assistant lawyer of the top ten law firms, I think the next question will be very good."

"President Yang, I remember that you have more than ten years of experience as a public prosecutor. Can you tell us what questions Zhang Hui will ask?"

"Yes, based on your experience, who has a better chance of winning this trial?"

Seeing that the professors from other schools around him looked over, Yang Qingquan laughed: "This mock trial is a boy suing another girl in our school. The boy is the plaintiff, and he acts as his own lawyer. As for the content of the lawsuit , it means that the boys have tutored the girls for 2 years to help the girls earn enough credits to avoid failing courses, and now the boys want to ask the girls for their labor income for the behavior of making up lessons.”

"Based on my experience, this matter is actually not easy to define, because making up lessons may be a spontaneous behavior of boys, which can be regarded as a gift. If the girls want to defend, they will definitely move closer to this argument."

Having said that, Yang Qingquan paused for a moment, and looked at Zhang Hui who got up: "If my guess is correct, Zhang Hui's goal should be to screen out as many boys as possible from the jury box. Compared with girls, there are more boys than girls. It is the one who pays, and the girls are mostly the ones who benefit. If she wants to ask a question, the first question must be biased towards girls."

Several professors from other schools around also followed Yang Qingquan's gaze and looked at the jury seat in the field.

There are a total of 20 members in the jury, with a mix of men and women, which is also the dean's intention.

Zhang Hui walked up to the jurors, smiled and asked, "Excuse me, who of you has received a gift?"

This first question did not meet Yang Qingquan's expectations, so much so that the professors in his school nodded unconsciously, admiring Dean Yang's experience.

Most of the girls receive gifts, and most of the boys are the ones who give gifts.

Among the 20 jurors, most of the girls raised their hands, but only a few boys.

Seeing this result, Zhang Hui laughed again.

The general defense may announce the screening results at this time, but she will not waste this rare opportunity to ask questions. This is one of the few opportunities to guide the jury.

She walked up to a girl: "Excuse me, this junior, you raised your hand, can you ask who gives you the most gifts?"

"My boyfriend, he keeps giving me presents." The girl said, and nodded to a boy in the hearing booth, who responded with a smile.

Seeing that the effect was very good, Zhang Hui continued to guide: "Isn't it natural for boys to give gifts to girls?"

Many girls in the jury box nodded unconsciously.

Zhang Hui walked up to a boy who didn't raise his hand, and asked, "You didn't raise your hand, is it because you haven't received or sent a gift?"

"Well, yes..." The boy lowered his head in embarrassment when he felt the gazes from all around him.

Zhang Hui then asked several other boys: "So, are you too?"

When the boys were asked this question, they were all a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Hui didn't save them face, and looked directly at the trial seat: "The defense rejected jurors No. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Thank you for their participation!"

These five boys were all boys who didn't raise their hands, and they were directly vetoed by Zhang Hui.

The five got up and hurriedly left the jury box.

Zhang Hui continued: "Excuse me, if you carefully crafted a gift and prepared to give it to someone you like, but the other party didn't accept it, would you be angry?"

As she spoke, she looked at another boy.

The boy looked left and right, saw that Zhang Hui had not looked away, and kept looking at him, and then replied, "I might be angry!"

"Then what will you do, what will you do when you get angry?"

"I, I might be, if I'm not happy, I'll call and ask..." The boy hesitated to speak.

"The defense rejected juror No. 13, thank you for his participation!"

The boy didn't even finish answering the question, so he got up and left the table helplessly.

After Zhang Hui's questioning ended, five boys were screened out.

Next, it was the plaintiff Fang Zhangwei's turn to take the stage.

At the hearing table, a group of professors surrounded Yang Qingquan again.

"As expected of Dean Yang, the guess is really accurate!"

"Please tell me, if it was this boy, how would he ask questions?"

"Zhang Wei, it must be all the remaining boys!" Yang Qingquan laughed, and then added: "The nature of this lawsuit is actually about the labor office. If I were him, the first The question must be about remedial tuition, and it is best to connect it with extracurricular remedial classes, so that jurors can have a preconceived notion about remedial tuition fees."

The surrounding professors nodded again and again, thinking it made sense.

It was at this time that Zhang Wei walked to the front of the jury box and began to ask questions.

"Hello, everyone is a student of Dongda University, so I won't ask any more questions. How do you feel about being admitted to Dongda University? Are you excited?"

Jury box: "???"

Yang Qingquan: "???"

The professors: "???"

Not to mention the astonishment of the professors in the hearing, the jury was equally surprised to hear this question.

Zhang Wei looked at one of the quite young girls, and asked, "Which major is the junior?"

"I'm from the Journalism Department of the School of Communication."

"Oh, the Department of Journalism, that's pretty good. It's also the key major of our Dongda University. By the way, the family is very happy to be admitted to Dongda University, right?"

"Of course, my parents were so happy when I got the admission letter, they kept praising me!"

"This is very good. You are proud to enter Dongda, and Dongdae Nature is also proud of you!"

Zhang Wei nodded and looked towards the trial seat: "The trial seat, the prosecution accepts this juror!"

At the trial seat, Geng Hongxia began to record, but she also couldn't understand Zhang Wei's question.

She looked at Yang Qingquan in the hearing seat, and saw the latter showing an embarrassed smile.

This kid, why didn't he play his cards according to the routine?

Isn't this slapping me in the face in public?

With so many colleagues watching, where do I put my old face?

Zhang Wei didn't know the small theater in the hearing booth, and his questions continued.

"Do you think lying is correct?" This is Zhang Wei's second question.

As he spoke, he looked at a boy.

"It depends on the occasion?" the boy replied shyly.

"What occasion?"

"It depends on the situation. Maybe the liar also has something to hide?"

"So that's the case, they are very thoughtful, but what if they want to deceive you subjectively?" Zhang Wei walked up to him and added: "There is no objective reason, I just think you are easy to bully, and want to make you suffer losses , makes you feel like a fool, being fooled around, how do you feel?"

"I will be angry, very angry!" The boy puffed up, but at the same time glanced at a certain position in the hearing booth.

It was a girl, obviously the boy had someone he cared about, or this woman might often lie to him.

This scene happened to be captured by Zhang Wei.

He looked at the trial seat again: "The prosecution overruled juror No. 17, and thank him for his participation!"

At the hearing, Yang Qingquan couldn't sit still, because Zhang Wei screened out another boy.

His face hurts a little.

The professors from other colleges all around looked at him with suspicion, which was quite distrustful.

"This Zhang Wei, will he be tried in court?" Dean Yang began to mutter in his heart.

And Zhang Wei walked up to another girl.

"Sister, do you think the act of lying for no reason should be condemned morally?"

"want!"

Hearing such an eloquent answer, Zhang Wei was very satisfied with the girl's performance.

"The prosecution accepts this juror and thanks No. 20 for his participation."

On the 20th, another boy.

He was in a daze, and he wasn't even questioned, so why was he brushed off by Zhang Wei?

on the hearing bench.

Feeling the hot gazes from the professors around him, Yang Qingquan's face was a little stiff.
