Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

The jury is screened.

The results exceeded the expectations of law school professors.

Zhang Hui got rid of 5 boys, and Zhang Wei also got rid of a lot of boys.

They previously agreed that Zhang Wei would find a way to keep the boy, but they didn't expect this to be the result.

"Now the court announces that the selection of jurors has been completed, and the court will start on time at 1 pm. Now everyone can go to lunch!"

Judge Geng Hongxia tapped the cone again, announcing the end of the preliminary trial.

"Student, your question surprised me. I thought you would keep the boys. But in the court trial, it doesn't matter whether you are a boy or a girl."

Zhang Hui walked past Zhang Wei, leaving behind a light sentence.

"I can't help it. I don't know if there will be girls licking dogs among these people, so I just delete everything that can be deleted!"

Zhang Wei spread his arms and said with a smile: "Who makes it impossible to lick a dog?"

Zhang Hui left with Jia Meili and others, and the auditorium was temporarily disbanded.

The three of Zhang Wei also got together.

"Zhang Wei, why did you screen so many boys?" Luo Xiaobu was the first to hold back.

"Didn't I say that licking a dog will kill you!" Zhang Wei was very innocent.

Seeing Zhang Wei pretending to be innocent, Xia Qianyue couldn't help it: "Damn it, all of them are girls. Although I don't study the Fa, I can see that the form is not good for you!"

Zhang Wei shook his head, with a confident face: "Wrong, the form is very favorable to me, and I have the advantage in this trial!"

Luo Xiaobu and Xia Qianyue looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of suspicion in each other's eyes.

"Hanhan, do you hate Jia Meili?"

"Of course, I hate this woman!"

"Why do you hate her?"

"Because this woman is double-faced and three-faced, not a good thing!"

"That's it. You hate Jia Meili because you know she's not a good person. We just need to prove that, right?"

"Let's go, I'm just hungry, let's go have lunch together!"

As he spoke, he pulled Xia Qianyue and Luo Xiaobu into the cafeteria.

...

Lunch time passed quickly.

After a simple lunch break, the crowd gathered in the auditorium again.

Mock hearings are not formal hearings, so the interval between hearings will be shortened.

Generally, the jury is screened in the morning, and the trial hearing and defense begin in the afternoon.

1:00 p.m., ready for court.

"Now, everyone stand up, the presiding judge enters the arena!"

For the trial, the necessary sense of ritual is still needed.

Everyone stood up, waiting for Geng Hongxia to enter.

"Let the trial begin!"

Geng Hongxia announced the start of the trial and nodded to Zhang Wei.

As the prosecution, priority is given to the opening statement.

Zhang Wei also read it according to the script, explaining his claim and the purpose of the lawsuit.

He wants to recover the tuition fees due for two years, totaling 80,000 yuan, plus 20,000 yuan for mental damage.

However, Zhang Hui's statement stated that this was a kind of gift, and her client, Jia Meili, did not need to pay for Zhang Wei's gift.

The presentations from both sides were unremarkable, but both explained their arguments within 3 minutes.

Generally speaking, in the opening statement, especially in civil litigation, the plaintiff usually reads the complaint, and then the respondent reads the submitted defense, and the procedure keeps going down.

However, this kind of performance is too mere formality, so that it is difficult to achieve the consequences expected by both the prosecution and the defense.

For law school students, this is reasonable. If some fancy opening remarks are made, the statement is too dramatic. Although it will attract the attention of the jury and the students in the hearing booth, it will also attract the attention of the law school professors and leaders. do not like.

The leaders accompanied us all the way, Alexander.

After the opening statement is completed, the next step is the confrontation between the prosecution and the defense that everyone is looking forward to.

Zhang Wei stood up first, and said loudly: "The prosecution summoned the first witness, Ms. Zhang Wen, to testify!"

At the hearing stand, a middle-aged woman got up and quickly sat on the witness stand.

In the defense seat, Zhang Hui and others did not have any surprises.

This is the first on the list of witnesses, and he is an administrator of the Dongda Library.

Even what the other party will state, they have already guessed.

"Ms. Zhang, hello."

"Xiao Zhang, hello!"

"Ms. Zhang, what is your job at Dongda..."

"I am the administrator of the Dongda Library, responsible for managing the borrowing of books in the library and maintaining the library..."

"Oh, then, Ms. Zhang, are you familiar with me and the defendant?"

"Of course, Xiao Zhang, you are a frequent visitor to the library. You have often been in the library since the first year of school. It is quite rare for a student to study as hard as you."

"Then do you know the defendant?"

"Yes, I remember that she often came to the library after the second year, and often sat with you, and I saw that you sometimes tutored her..."

There were many testimonies from the witnesses, and Zhang Wei asked several questions in a row, all about the library.

According to the witness's description, Zhang Wei and Jia Meili often spent time in the library, and Zhang Wei also acted as a tutor, tutoring Jia Meili's homework conscientiously.

In the hearing seats and the jury seats, many students nodded unconsciously.

"Okay, the prosecution's questioning is over!"

Zhang Wei smiled at Zhang Hui, finished asking questions, and returned to the plaintiff's seat.

Next it was Zhang Hui's turn.

"Witness Ms. Zhang, how long have you been a librarian?"

"For almost ten years, I have been working as an administrator at Dongda since I graduated."

"You said just now that people like Zhang Wei who spend all day in the library are quite rare, but that doesn't mean there aren't any, right?"

"Yes, there are many college students in Dongdong, and I have seen a few who are as serious as him before."

"Then, do these students have other study partners around them?"

The witness recalled and nodded: "Yes."

The corners of Zhang Hui's mouth raised slightly. After laying the groundwork for so long, it's time to make a move.

"Then witness, do you think this kind of learning is voluntary?"

"It should be, after all, the students who go to the library are all..."

"be opposed to!"

The witness was about to answer, but a dissonant voice rang out.

Zhang Wei got up from the plaintiff's seat, and he was the one who raised the objection just now.

"The defendant's lawyer is leading the witness to imagine!"

At the trial seat, Geng Hongxia was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "The objection is valid, please ask the question again!"

At the hearing, Yang Qingquan was also surprised.

Generally speaking, lawyers in court have the right to object to the other party's questioning, but they generally need to give reasons, which is a test of the lawyer's on-the-spot adaptability.

Zhang Hui's question led the witness to speculate about the students' willingness to study at that time, which cannot be judged objectively and can only be guessed subjectively by himself. Zhang Wei's objection was indeed effective.

Many young lawyers forget that they have this right when they go to court for the first time.

"This Zhang Wei is not simple!" Yang Qingquan looked up to Zhang Wei again.

In court, Zhang Hui did not expect that he would be interrupted by Zhang Wei.

However, she collected her thoughts and continued to ask: "Witness, you just said that Jia Meili joined Zhang Wei's study team in the second year, so how did Zhang Wei behave at that time?"

"Zhang Wei seems to be very happy, and he is also very concerned about girls' studies, and even stays up late to write some study reports."

After thinking for a while, the witness recalled: "One time I saw that he stayed late, so I went up and asked, and he said that he was helping Jia Meili to organize the stage plan for her homework, and it will be used tomorrow, so I have to use it today." Stay up all night and finish."

"How long did Zhang Wei stay?"

"He stayed until 11 o'clock, the closing time of the library."

Zhang Hui smiled, walked to the jury seat, and said, "From what the witnesses said, Zhang Wei really cares about my client!"

"Then may I ask the witness, did Zhang Wei receive any remuneration from my client during the two years of tutoring homework?"

The witness shook his head: "No!"

"Did Zhang Wei take the initiative to ask for any benefits?"

"No!"

"In your opinion, is Zhang Wei willing to help my client with homework?"

"It seems... yes!"

"My questions are over!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhang Hui returned home satisfied.

Regardless of whether it was the jury seat or the hearing seat, there was something strange looking at Zhang Wei.

On the trial seat, Geng Hongxia knocked on the cone: "The first witness, both the prosecution and the defense, have finished questioning, next..."

"Wait, because of the defense's question just now, I need to ask additional questions about the witness!"

Zhang Wei stood up directly and looked at Geng Hongxia.

Geng Hongxia looked at Yang Qingquan, and when she saw that the latter had slightly raised his head, she nodded in agreement.

Zhang Wei walked up to the witness stand and looked directly at the other party: "Excuse me, witness, you just said that I was willing, is this your subjective speculation?"

"Yes!"

"Very good!" Zhang Wei nodded and asked with a smile: "Since you have said that, then I would like to ask, how do you know that I have no other purpose?"

He walked up to the jury seat with a smile on his lips: "If a boy goes to help a girl with her homework, what do you think the boy is trying to do?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was some commotion in both the jury and hearing seats.

Many boys even smiled unconsciously, and there was a bit of wretchedness in the smile.

It is impossible for a boy to help a girl without a purpose, without asking for anything in return, just talking about it, and nine out of ten they are greedy for each other's body!

Everyone knows this, but it cannot be said in court.

Zhang Wei continued to ask: "Witness, your job is to manage the library, so have you seen me outside the library?"

"No!"

"Since you can't leave the library during working hours, how do you know that I haven't asked for benefits from Jia Meili outside the library? If I have asked for corresponding remuneration in other places, then my tutoring is not Are you willing?"

"this……"

The witness did not know what to say.

What Zhang Wei said was the truth. Apart from the library, she had never met Zhang Wei and Jia Meili in other places.

Zhang Wei smiled at the jury box, and then walked back to the plaintiff's box.

But halfway through, he suddenly turned around and patted his head, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to ask something, I would like to ask the witness, have you had any contact with the defendant's personnel this weekend?"

"Objection!" Zhang Hui finally couldn't bear it and stood up.

"An objection?"

Zhang Hui paused for a few seconds and thought for a while: "The prosecution is harassing witnesses!"

"Your Honor, I am proving whether the defense has had private contact with the witness, whether they have interfered with the witness' testimony, which is also related to the credibility of the witness's testimony!"

Geng Hongxia thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Wei: "Attorney for the prosecution, please remember to speak with evidence, otherwise I will sentence you to harass witnesses, and now the objection is invalid!"

Zhang Hui sat down helplessly, while Zhang Wei smiled and looked at the witness stand again.

"Ms. Zhang Wen, please answer my question, have you contacted anyone from the defendant party on weekends?"

The witness glanced at the dock and shook his head.

"Hey, why didn't I hear your answer?"

Zhang Wei was persistent: "This is a very simple question, have you ever contacted someone in the dock, please answer 'yes' or 'no'!"

"No, I haven't touched it!"

"Really, then I'm surprised!"

As Zhang Wei said, he took out a note from his pocket and asked, "Why did a classmate tell me that during lunch break at 11:23 yesterday, he saw Yuan Dong came to the library to look for you?"

"Although it's the weekend, most of the students don't go to the library, but by coincidence, one of them went and saw you and Yuan Dong. Shall I ask him to confront you?"

Zhang Wei presses on step by step: "Witness, you have to know that you are sitting on the witness stand. Although this is a moot court, if you are found to have perjured yourself, you will be accused of morality, and this behavior will also be punished." Included in the record."

"You have to answer clearly, Dongda doesn't need a liar to be an administrator!"

Being pressed by Zhang Wei, the witness panicked.

After a long time, she hesitated: "I...I have seen..."

"Who have you met?"

"he!"

The witness points to Yuan Dong.

Immediately, all eyes were on Yuan Dong.

Beside Yuan Dong, Zhang Hui said inwardly,

She quickly stood up and explained: "Our side declares that Yuan Dong is not a member of the defendant's party. He just appeared in court because he cared about Jia Meili. Now I will let him return to the hearing stand!"

Yuan Dong had no choice but to walk to the hearing stand in despair.

Zhang Hui added again: "Yuan Dong is not a member of the defendant, all actions are his own decisions, our side and the parties are completely unaware of what he did!"

This explanation is quite a bit of a throwaway meaning.

"Oh~ I don't know at all?"

Seeing this, Zhang Wei smiled: "Okay, anyway, Senior Zhang Hui said so, so I believe you~"

"I believe that everyone on the jury will also believe your explanation. Yuan Dong really came into contact with witnesses in private out of his own opinion. It has absolutely nothing to do with you and Jia Meili, right? ?”

Hearing Zhang Wei's strange explanation, Zhang Hui's face was a little distorted, but he couldn't attack.

This Zhang Wei is too cheap!

"Okay, my question is over!"

Zhang Wei returned to the plaintiff's seat, and whether it was the hearing seat or the jury seat, he looked at the defendant with a little suspicion.

Obviously, they all thought that it was impossible for Yuan Dong to find the witness by himself.

on the hearing bench.

Yang Qingquan looked at Zhang Wei, his gaze changed from surprise to amazement.

Especially the additional questions just now, and the questions asked at the end, all just rightly pointed out the possible problems of the defendant, and changed the format of the trial to his own benefit.

Many people go to court, but they dare not ask such questions. If they are not careful, they may offend the judge by harassing witnesses.

Even many young lawyers dare not speak loudly in court, but Zhang Wei's performance exceeded my expectations!

Boom boom boom!

Seeing some commotion in the courtroom, Geng Hongxia tapped the cone again, and announced loudly: "The first witness has finished testifying. Does the prosecution need to subpoena the second witness?"

"Of course, Your Honor!"

Zhang Wei stood up again, shaking his suit: "I summon myself to testify!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Not to mention other departments, even many students in the law school are confused.

How come we haven't heard of subpoenaing ourselves to testify? This trick hasn't been mentioned in textbooks?

Zhang Wei sneered, summoning himself was nothing, he could even summon his opponents if necessary.

When he filed a lawsuit back then, even the prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Office had summoned him!

Compared with the battle of wits and courage with the elites of the local prosecutor's office at that time, these are just small scenes.

"Your Excellency, the judge, and all the leaders and students in the hearing booth, I want to explain that everyone has the obligation to testify in court, as long as they are summoned according to the law, they all need to appear in court, even myself. As for The questioning session will be conducted by my assistant lawyer Luo Xiaobu, so you don’t have to worry about asking yourself questions.”

He explained and sat directly on the witness stand.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Luo Xiaobu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stood up from his seat with trembling legs.

Although Zhang Wei had written all the questions he wanted to ask in advance, he was still under a lot of pressure when he was on the spot.

Especially in the hearing seat, a group of professors from the law school looked over and felt that he was about to be shot through by these gazes.

In a few seconds, he walked three or four times in a daze before arriving in front of Zhang Wei.

"Certificate, witness, please, what do you think about making up lessons?"

Luo Xiaobu began to ask questions. Although his mouth was trembling, he could still do it according to the words on the paper.

Zhang Wei was silent for a while, and then said eloquently: "I think that I have devoted two years to Jia Meili, and I have submitted evidence to prove this when the court session was held. Two years, a total of 20 months, 320 days, a total of 800 I deserve to be rewarded for my hours of hard work!"

"Everyone can calculate, what can you do in 800 hours and 320 days? You can complete one course, and a few geniuses can complete several courses. You can stay up late to write hundreds of manuscripts, code 20 graduation thesis, and do ten A few graduation projects. Even if you use this time to do part-time jobs, if the hourly salary is 20 yuan, you will have an income of over 10,000 yuan."

"Well, I think I understand!" Luo Xiaobu nodded, took a deep breath, and continued to ask: "Then, if you help Jia Meili with tutoring, what did she gain?"

Zhang Wei looked at the dock and said with a smile: "She has been promoted in credits. I remember that at the beginning, she failed several homeworks and even failed the assessment, but during the two-year tutoring period, his The homework grades have improved a lot, and all the assessments have reached the passing line in the end!"

"Well, so your tutoring is very useful!"

Luo Xiaobu nodded solemnly again, but then immediately asked: "So, what have you gained?"

"No, nothing!"

Zhang Wei's expression turned cold, and he said concisely: "Even Jia Meili didn't even say 'thank you' to me!" "If you throw a meat bun to a dog, the dog will bark, but Jia Meili is worse than a dog!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion in the hearing booth, and many people began to whisper.

They never expected that Zhang Wei would use the trial to scold Jia Meili!
