Chapter 207 Common Law System
"This Qian Siren's luck is too good!" Hearing Leng Rui's words, Ouyang Mingmei said a little unhappily: "He has done so many bad things, and he can use the money to do things." The only time you didn't do anything bad, you found crucial evidence. I see, the wisest decision Qian Siren made was to find you to sue him! ”
Leng Rui smiled and didn't answer.
"Only you can repay your grievances with virtue and do your best to find evidence for him to exonerate himself!" Speaking of this, Ouyang Mingmei snorted coldly and said, "If I were his lawyer, I would definitely release the water and let him stay in prison for ten or eight years!" ”
Ouyang Mingmei saw that Leng Rui was still smiling lightly, did not answer, and couldn't help asking: "Ah Rui, why don't you speak, did I say something wrong?" ”
"Because I don't think it's necessary!" Leng Rui glanced down at Ouyang Mingmei and replied lightly.
"What?" Ouyang Ming looked at him in bewilderment.
"It took me six years to build my reputation in the legal profession, so there is no need to ruin my painstaking business because of someone like Qian Siren!" Leng Rui said, and said: "If I deliberately release water and act willfully, who will find me to sue at that time?" ”
Ouyang Mingmei heard this, slightly e.
"Not everyone who comes to me for a lawsuit is innocent!" Leng Rui said lightly: "Hong Kong implements the common law system, and in the common law system, if you want to win, lawyers play a decisive role!" ”
Let me give you a simple example to describe what is common law and what is civil law.
A little boy touched the high-voltage line beyond recognition and sued the power company. The lawyer made the unrecognizable little boy stand in front of the jury for 10 minutes for everyone to see what he looked like.
If in Chinese mainland, the civil law system ruling: he touched it himself, and there is a warning sign next to the power company, so there is no need for compensation.
The British and American juries ruled that the power company needed compensation because the electricity was so miserable.
A civil law lawyer only needs to familiarize himself with the terms of the law and act according to them.
In the common law system, lawyers are very important, and as long as they can be approved by the jury, the white can be said to be black, and the black can be said to be white.
In addition, regarding the composition of the jury, these people are not social elites or intellectuals, but simple-minded ordinary people.
Another point is that in the civil law system: if you kill someone, you will first confirm that you committed a crime, and then try to collect evidence of your crime, so there will be many unjust and wrongful convictions.
However, in the Anglo-American legal system, assuming that you are not a criminal, to collect evidence that you could not have committed a crime, there are many clever debaters who confuse right and wrong.
Therefore, in Hong Kong, in the common law system, a lawyer who can mobilize the jury very well is a good lawyer.
Therefore, in the common law system, a competent lawyer can even turn the case around. Because of this, many people are willing to spend a lot of money to find a good lawyer to fight a lawsuit for them.
And the winning rate of a lawyer determines his worth!
Ouyang Mingmei couldn't think that far for the time being, because she didn't need to think about it at all.
But for the rational and calm Leng Rui, he will never joke about his future, no matter how scummy and bad Qian Siren is, from the moment he decides to defend him, he has to completely stand on his side to consider him and give him advice.
He will fight any lawsuit with all his heart, whether the other party is guilty or not. It's not exactly about being responsible for the other person, it's more about himself.
He doesn't want to lose, and he can't lose!
